The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  Today we are looking for those exceptional individuals who feel called to greatness, because while some feel called to greatness, some will tragically settle before ever reaching their max potential. But here’s the truth: greatness isn’t about talent alone; it’s forged through an unyielding mindset & relentless commitment to themselves & their craft whether in sports or business. In this exclusive episode, two elite forces, Alex Auerbach Ph.D., MBA, Senior Director of Wellness and Development for the Toronto Raptors, & myself, Champion Performance Catalyst to the pros & those who aspire to be pros in life; come together to dive deep into the core of what it truly means to rise above the status quo! Dr. Alex brings extensive experience from NCAA to the NBA, having helped countless athletes unlock new levels of mental performance. Alongside him for this episode, I bring a career spent working with pro athletes from across the NBA, NFL, MLB, rugby, & soccer, as well as high level business clients. Together, we’re breaking down what separates those who simply play, from those called to break limits and redefine their ‘game’. We’ll talk straight, cut through the noise, & bring unfiltered, insight on how to own your journey, leverage mindset, & bring elite performance into every move, every game, every decision.
