Interview with Peter Jensen: High performance lessons from the Olympic lab

 
 

Eamon Devlin interviews Peter Jensen Ph.D., 10x Olympic trainer and Canadian sports coach. During the call we discussed:

• How to deal with set backs and challenges.

• The importance of thinking on your feet to improve your independant performance.

• The 'Pirate Ship' analogy.

• Peter shared some great stories from his impressive career as a sports coach.

Peter has attended nine Olympic games as a member of the Canadian Olympic team and has helped numerous athletes achieve high performance levels under intense pressure, including four consecutive medal winning Women’s Olympic Hockey teams. With Olympic-level sport as a laboratory, he has developed a deep understanding of what it takes to be a successful leader of high performers.
