I’m excited to share my conversation with today’s guest Ryan Ford. Ryan is a CMPC, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and co-founder of Fortitude with his business partner, Brian Sullivan who was a previous guest on the show. Their mission at Fortitude is to support leaders and teams to elevate performance, strengthen belonging, and create lasting legacies, and in this episode we cover a variety of ways they’re helping athletes and coaches do just that. Some key topics we discus:

  • Training mental performance proactively, rather than reactively
  • Thinking of mental strength just like physical strength, by breaking it down into sets and reps
  • and why awareness is actually a foundational layer for other mental skills

Plus, we also get into team culture, and Ryan shares his thoughts on how to actually build a thriving team culture that goes beyond words written on walls.

I’m excited to see what resonates with you.
