If Roger Federer and Michael Phelps use it, you should too! Find out the mindset tricks that elite athletes swear by.

What happens when you walk into a room at the Olympics and Michael Phelps is sitting there, doing the same breathing exercise you just learned from his mindset coach? 

Well, Swiss swimmer David Karasek knows and he’s here to tell you all about it.

In this episode of the “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I sit down with David, an Olympian, high-performance coach, and fellow UVA grad, who reveals the mindset strategies and sports psychology tips that took him to the world stage.

We dive deep into how he conquered performance anxiety with the help of Michael Phelps’ mindset coach, Jim Bauman, and how these techniques can skyrocket your performance— whether you’re in the boardroom, on the field, or just trying to crush your daily goals.

David shares actionable tips on using visualization techniques and conscious breathing exercises that helped him stay calm under pressure. He also talks about the power of self-talk and how building mental toughness can help you overcome any failure— just like the best in the world do.

Hit play now, and get ready to unleash your inner Olympian— no swim cap required!
