Listen "It's Only Right if it Grooves"
Episode Synopsis
Excellence leaves clues, and sometimes, those clues come from the most unexpected places. Today, we're talking about the wisdom of bass guitar legend Victor Wooten and what his approach to rhythm, groove, and performance can teach us about showing up at our best when it matters most.We’ll cover the difference between training and trusting mindsets, why so many skills fail to transfer from practice to performance, and how to make your training look, feel, and sound like the real thing. Along the way, we’ll connect the dots between funk music, self-expression, and the psychology of peak performance. What's the goeal? You can bring more groove, vitality, and trust to your own craft.Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or anyone performing under pressure, this one’s for you. Grab your metaphorical bass, plug in, and let’s get funky.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Learn more about The Mental Training LabConnect with Pete on Instagram | LinkedIn | WebsiteSubscribe to the podcast on Apple | Spotify This show is produced and edited by the team at Palm Tree Pod Co.
