Dr. Jason Selk is a best-selling
author, psychologist and two-time World Series winning sports
psychologist with the St Louis Cardinals. In fact, while serving as
Director of Mental Training for the Cardinals, Selk helped the team
win their first World Series in over 20 years, and in 2011 he
assisted the Cardinals in the historic feat of winning their second
World Championship in a six-year period.
Selk
is a regular contributor to Forbes, INC, Success, Shape, and Self
Magazine; ABC, CBS, ESPN, and NBC radio and television; and has
been featured in USA Today, CNBC, and Men’s Health. Dr. Selk’s
second book, Executive Toughness, is a best-selling business book
and his first book, 10-Minute Toughness, is on pace to be one of
the best-selling sport psychology books of all time. Selk’s latest
book Organize Your Team Today has been ranked by Bloomberg as a Top
10 leadership book for 2018.
We discussed a number of very important topics on this show, including:
1: How to develop your confidence, even after long periods of purported failure
2: How to maintain your focus in an age of distraction
3: How to create and maintain a positive, empowering and mentally tough outlook in just two minutes a day
These topics were just the tip of the iceberg. I really enjoyed speaking with Jason as he is a psychologist whose views are grounded in hard science and he drew from his time with the St Louis Cardinals as well as his work in applying sports psychology to business which provided for lots of valuable take-aways.
And as he suggests, if you can take just one thing from this conversation, remember it and apply it, then that’s better than trying to take ten things away and forgetting all of them, as we often tend to do in this age of content overload.
With that, I bring you the one and only, Dr Jason Selk.
