“Well done is better than well said.” – Benjamin Franklin Dr. Jeff Spencer has spent five decades creating champions. At the age of 11, Jeff wrote a contract with himself to make the 1972 Olympic Games – a goal he accomplished, where he competed in two separate cycling events and, in the process, solidified his fascination with goal achievement. As a human performance visionary and legendary cornerman coach, Dr. Spencer has helped athletes win over 40 gold medals and cycling teams to eight Tour De France victories. Dr. Spencer has also authored three books, been awarded International Sports Chiropractor of the Year, is creator of The Champion’s Blueprint methodology, and had his glass-blowing art displayed in some of the world’s finest galleries. Today, Dr. Spencer is most renowned as mentor to thought-leaders and businesses who want to exponentially grow and catapult to iconic status. Some of his notable clients include Tiger Woods, Sir Richard Branson, the band U2, Lance Armstrong, Alberto Contador, Maria Sharapova, Nike, Hitachi, and Bulletproof. His proudest achievement is raising his adopted daughter, Kin, with his wife Kristina. In this interview: What it takes to perform, succeed, and stay at the highest level; Why most people fail with their goals; The most essential parts of your daily routine; and How YOU can achieve the so-called “unachievable” goals in your personal life and business.
