Listen "Buzzy Cohen | A Jeopardy! Champion's Guide to Preparing for the Moments that Matter"
Episode Synopsis
Tens of thousands of people take the online qualification exam for Jeopardy! every year. But only 0.4% of hopefuls will appear on the show. But even after a nine-game winning streak and a victory in the Tournament of Champions, Jeopardy! champion and fan favorite Buzzy Cohen maintains that he wasn't actually the smartest contestant in the bunch – he just "trained smarter" than his competitors. Buzzy adopted quirky strategies and obsessive techniques, from wearing suits every day to studying while hanging from a chin-up bar. Once he realized how much could be accomplished with great preparation, he became a prep fanatic – testing his theories on everything from deadlifting to tap dancing. Buzzy joins Google to discuss his Audible Original book, "Get Ready: A Champion's Guide to Preparing for the Moments That Matter". He reveals the eccentric yet effective training method he developed to prepare for the show, and empowers listeners to apply these techniques to train for their own challenges.
