Most Americans know Dan O’Brien as the decathlon gold medalist at the 1996 Olympic Games and the face of the America’s best hope in the international competition. The decathlon is famously one of the most grueling sporting events on the planet. With ten events spread over two days, it tests even the most mentally and physically fit athletes in the world. On top of that, Olympians often face obstacles like sudden time delays for TV broadcasts, changes in sleep patterns and diet, and the pressure that comes with the knowledge that they may only get one brief shot on the world stage.
What you may not remember about Dan O’Brien is that before he earned Olympic gold and before he won three world championships, Dan failed to qualify for the 1992 Olympic games. Rather than let the setback defeat him, Dan’s mindset was permanently altered for the better. With renewed conviction, he trained to attract the elusive Zone at the right time and place.
In this info-packed episode, you’ll learn:
• Who was “In the Zone” this past week.
• How Dan O’Brien trained for the Olympics.
• How success is getting up one more time from defeat.
• How champion’s win when they’re NOT at their best.
• What current Winter Olympians in South Korea need to think to perform in the Zone.
• Why the four stages of a performance determine your long-term success.
• The tools needed to perform under pressure.
• Why the quality of your experiences outweighs the quantity.
• How the Philadelphia Eagles defied the “underdog” moniker to take home the coveted Vince Lombardi trophy.
• How to forever eliminate the non-champion habit of worry.
