Introducing: Finding Your Best
High Performance Mindset Training To Help You Consistently Perform At Your Best When It Matters Most
What People Are Saying
So I had the entire sales crew go through the training and my team—we’re having a record year. We focused every day on being our best and growing. I totally attribute the mindset training.”
Our Work Has Been Featured In
Are You Living To Your Full Potential?
For many of us, the answer is “Well, sometimes… kind of. Maybe? I’m not really sure.”
Or, more simply put: “No.”
Instead of working to approach success, we’re just avoiding failure. We want to take bigger risks. We want to really get after it in life. But when we’re faced with challenging or uncomfortable situations…
We shrink from them, instead of confidently rising to the occasion. Have you ever wondered why that happens? Why—when faced with the situations that challenge us to be who we really want to be—we run and hide? We “play it safe?”
Here’s What We’ve Discovered After Working With Hundreds Of Top Performers Over The Past 20+ Years
Dr. Michael Gervais is a high performance psychologist and one of the world’s leading experts on high-stakes human performance. He also hosts the Finding Mastery Podcast, where he’s interviewed 300+ of the world’s top performers across business, sports, the arts, and more.
During his coaching, and through conversations with the world’s best, he’s noticed a theme:
Top Performers Know Their Mindset Is A Vital Part Of Their Success…
The Seattle Seahawks didn’t leave their mindsets up to chance when they went to back-to-back Super Bowls and won in 2014.
Felix Baumgartner didn’t leave his mindset up to chance when he jumped from 128,100 feet and became the first human to travel at the speed of sound without a capsule.
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, didn’t leave his mindset — or the mindset of his team — up to chance when he transformed company culture at one of the largest companies in the world.
Instead, these top performers prepared and trained their minds intensely.
All of this makes sense, after all.
Training our minds gives us the power and confidence to achieve at the highest level of our capabilities.
We’d never expect athletes, leaders, or executives performing at the razor’s edge of their abilities to succeed without the proper mindset.
Yet We Often Forget That This Same Concept Applies To Our Own Lives.
We push ourselves to the brink of our mental and emotional abilities — often without the proper mental training or recovery — and expect ourselves to perform to the full extent of our capabilities. In short:
We expect ourselves to be extraordinary in life, without properly training our mindset.
We haven’t learned the tools to regulate our mental and emotional states, yet we put constant pressure on ourselves to be happy, relaxed, and free of worry.
We don’t know how to work with our negative, self-defeating thoughts, yet we expect ourselves to present a cool, confident face in front of our peers.
We judge and criticize ourselves for not making more of our lives, yet we never actually do the lonely work to clearly define what we want and expect from ourselves.
We expect greatness from ourselves without developing the mental skills to actually achieve it.
And it’s no wonder that, when faced with uncomfortable or challenging situations, our minds become cluttered with negative self-talk — causing us to shrink back and “play it safe,” rather than really getting after it and going for what we want.
These Self-Limiting Mental Patterns Can Keep Us Feeling:
- Stressed about the never-ending to-do list of our lives
- Doubtful of our own ability to handle the challenges we face now and will face in the future
- Fake — battling imposter syndrome and feeling like we’re constantly falling short in our personal and professional lives
- Stuck in survival mode, trying to get through the day, instead of thriving no matter the situation
- Numb to what’s going on around us and unable to connect to the people and things that matter most
- Powerless to make any sort of meaningful change because we keep ending up back in the same place we started
- Burnt-out because we feel like we’ve exhausted all our resources but gotten nowhere
- “Switched off,” complacent, and maybe a little “dead” inside — if we’re honest — because we’ve lost our inner fire
So How Do We Overcome These Self-Limiting Mental Patterns & Live To Our Full Potential?
It starts with understanding there are only three things we can control in life: Our thoughts, our words, and our actions.
And our actions flow from our words and our thoughts. This means our mindset is at the core of every action we take. So if we really wanna get down to it, performing at our best and leading a rich and meaningful life means that proactively managing our thoughts should be our #1 focus.
Easier said than done, though, right? The natural state of our minds is easily distracted, a bit sloppy, and wholly undisciplined… kind of like a drunken monkey. Which is not exactly the type of leader we want if we’re planning to push ourselves to the edge of our potential.
That’s where Finding Your Best comes in.
Finding Your Best Helps You Front-Load The Mental Skills And Frameworks You Need To Perform At Your Best In Any Environment
Like athletes, we must train if we want to perform at the highest level of our abilities.
We have to “front-load” our efforts — downloading, testing, and refining the mental skills and frameworks we’ll need — so we can thrive in challenging situations and environments.
Finding Your Best helps you do just that.
Developed from Dr. Mike’s expertise as a licensed psychologist with a specialization in sport and high performance, as well as his work with high-performing clients over the past 20+ years.
Finding Your Best gives you a step-by-step playbook to “download” the same high performance mindset used by world record holders, Olympians, Paralympians, internationally acclaimed artists and musicians, MVPs from every major sport, and Fortune 10 CEOs.
While you’ll have to do the work to stress-test and apply the framework — you can think of this program as a “high-performance-mindset-in-a-box.”
Here’s What’s Included In Finding Your Best:
Module 1
Orientation
In order to adopt a high performance mindset, you need to have an accurate picture of the current mindset that’s holding you back.
In the Orientation lesson, we’ll identify where you’re at now and reveal your opportunities for improvement. We’ll set your top goals for the next eight weeks.
Most importantly, we’ll uncover the “Being vs. Doing” framework, which will help remove pressure from yourself and make high performance in every aspect of your life as effortless as possible.
High Performance
What does “high performance” mean to you?
In the High Performance lesson, you’ll build your definition of high performance, so you can use it as a “North Star” to point yourself toward success through the rest of the program (and the rest of your life).
Sleep Well
Recovery is one of the most overlooked aspects of high performance by the general population. But inside world-leading sport franchises and corporations, we talk more about recovery than about working hard.
In the Sleep Well lesson, we’ll reveal the four pillars of recovery, as well as a simple recovery formula you can use as a quick check to optimize your growth.
Getting this stuff right is your biggest opportunity for boosting your energy, increasing your vitality, driving more passion, improving your health, and optimizing performance in every facet of your life.
Module 2
Personal Philosophy
Your thought patterns influence how you perform more than anything else. Whether you’re an executive, parent, or world-class athlete, how you think about things determines your reaction to them.
In the Personal Philosophy lesson, you’ll discover how to build the foundation for a truly optimized mindset that is 100% unique to YOU — in 25 words or less.
This lesson will help you drive more clarity in your personal and professional life, give you a quick reference point to evaluate how you’re performing in challenging moments, and act as a tool to help you be your true self more often.
What you’ll discover in this lesson is both a radical accelerant to high performance and the quality of your relationships.
Vision
Your Vision is not the same as your goals.
In the Vision lesson, you’ll learn the difference between the two, how to clarify a bold and inspiring vision for your life, four traps people fall into when setting their vision, three ways to make your vision less overwhelming (because if you set your vision right, it should be a little intimidating), and one simple — but intense — mental tool you can use to become a more powerful person in any arena.
As you’ve likely discovered, the path to improvement is not easy. But what you’ll find in this lesson will help you stay on the path to your best self even when things get difficult.
Module 3
Character
Most people don’t take the time to clarify their character strengths. But it’s a prerequisite for showing up as the best version of yourself on a regular basis.
In the Character lesson, you’ll discover your unique character strengths and find ways to enhance them, so you can live more authentically, increase your happiness, and leave a lasting impression on the people you meet.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a tool that has gained much popularity recently. And for good reason:
The benefits are undeniable.
Those who practice mindfulness have an increased frequency in flow state, the ability to perform better in difficult environments, improved attention and concentration, better emotional regulation, improved memory, positive family and parenting behaviors, as well as improved sleep, stable mood, and less fatigue.
In the Mindfulness lesson, you’ll discover what exactly mindfulness is, how it can help you develop insight and wisdom, and how to develop a manageable mindfulness program that works for your lifestyle — no matter how busy you are.
Optimism
Optimism is not a trait that is set in stone. It’s a mindset skill you can train and improve.
In all our years of working with world-class leaders across the spectrum of human performance, we have yet to meet a game-changer who was not fundamentally optimistic.
In the Optimism lesson, you’ll learn a simple, yet powerful, daily practice to reliably boost your optimism — enabling you to stay cognitively open and flexible when you experience adversity or setbacks.
Module 4
Control
Two of your most precious resources are your time and your energy.
In the Control lesson, you’ll discover how to focus on and master what is in your control, so you can save your time and energy for those situations in which you can actually drive change.
You’ll also learn our Morning Mindset Routine — a 90-second practice that primes your mind to be more present, focused, grateful, and calm each morning.
Eat, Hydrate, and Move
The science is becoming increasingly clear — eating, hydrating, and moving well are essential components for sustaining optimized performance and recovery.
In the Eat, Hydrate, and Move lesson, we’ll equip you with a basic framework to ensure you get every aspect of this right.
You’ll discover three basic principles to help fuel your body with the proper nutrition, seven eating behaviors that will help you eat healthier food and cut calories with less effort, as well as a five-step plan for dealing with cravings when they come up.
Module 5
Grit
Realizing your full potential takes time. Most quit before they even approach what they’re truly capable of.
In the Grit lesson, you’ll take an assessment to identify your current level of grit, you’ll discover the three primary components of grit, and you’ll make a necessary, fundamental decision that will help you achieve your full potential.
Calm
High performance happens in the present moment. And it requires finding the perfect balance between being calm and “activated.”
In the Calm lesson, you’ll find out how to use the Yerkes-Dodson law to find your perfect balance between calm and “activated” states, as well as a simple (and immediate) strategy to “reset” yourself when you begin to feel overactivated by stress.
Module 6
Confidence
Like optimism, confidence is a mental skill that you can develop.
In the Confidence lesson, we’ll reveal the one and ONLY place where confidence comes from, how to train your thoughts to benefit you — rather than holding you back, and how to build an “Epic Thought List” you can deploy to find confidence in any situation.
Focus
You’ll need discipline to achieve your goals. And discipline requires training.
In the Focus lesson, you’ll identify your specific flow archetype, and we’ll reveal why it’s important to train “refocusing” in order to develop discipline, as well as show you how to slip into flow state more often — unlocking your ability to perform at your most optimal state.
Module 7
Trust
Trusting yourself to “go for it” is a cornerstone of high performance. But many of us lack that deep level of self-trust.
In the Trust lesson, you’ll find out how to build trust with yourself and others, as well as why it’s vital to get uncomfortable as often as you possibly can.
Think Well
Thinking well means doing the hard work to train your mind, so you can develop a command over your thoughts, even when you’re in uncomfortable situations.
In the Think Well lesson, we’ll reveal how thinking well enables you to conserve your internal resources and remain more flexible, optimistic, calm, and confident in challenging environments.
Module 1

What People Are Saying
I was just telling my wife who was a little skeptical of me investing $450 into taking Finding Your Best, how it is by far the best use of $450 I have ever had. Way better than my 4 year degree, 2 year masters, and all the certifications, clinics, and seminars I have done. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you to you and the team at Finding Mastery!
You have not only given me all kinds of ways to help them, you have helped me raise my game, or my life really, to be focused and locked in on being my best so I can help others be their best. I will be forever grateful for all that I have learned…and I’m not even finished yet!”

The Truth Is: Everything Can Change in This Moment...
But only if you let it.
On this page, you’ve been presented with an opportunity:
The opportunity to adopt a brand-new mental framework that gives you the mindset skills you need to excel in the most challenging environments you face.
But it’s up to you to decide whether this opportunity means anything or not.
Because the truth is that, if you leave this page without taking any action — this opportunity is a blip on the radar, soon forgotten.
Life continues as it has been.
If you’re truly living to your potential, then that isn’t a bad thing. But if you’ve read this far, we’re guessing you might have muttered an internal “no” to the first question we asked on this page:
“Are you truly living to your full potential?”
How would it feel to change your answer to a “yes?”
To have your head hit the pillow tonight, knowing you’re now on the path toward a richer, more meaningful existence…
Knowing that, today, you made a choice to live to your full potential and forever change the conversation going on in your head…
Transforming it into one that propels you toward success, rather than just helping you avoid failure…
And giving you the power to perform at your best when it matters most.
How would that feel?
“Pretty darn good,” we’d say. Because we’ve experienced it.
And we invite you to do the same.
