As an athlete, I was made well aware of the benefits of being physically flexible. But no one ever told me that there was something called emotional and mental flexibility…and that it’s a BIG key to unlocking your ultimate best.

On today’s episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I sit down with top mental skills coach and performance expert, Dr. Adam Wright. We unpack how he’s been helping world-class athletes, Hollywood celebrities, and high-powered executives become more emotionally and mentally fit.

If you want the emotional and mental flexibility to be your ultimate best, then lock in to today’s episode.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• One of the main reasons why highly talented people underachieve
• Dr. Adam’s take on pressure and how we can transform everyday pressure into a pathway for peak performance
• How to become more emotionally and psychologically flexible
• Shifting the paradigm in psychology towards well-being
• Reframing perceived threats into challenges for better outcomes
• A holistic approach to navigating pressures, fostering growth, and honoring passion
• Advice for parents of youth and amateur athletes
