Description

In practice, Sean Light could often make every free throw. So why was it that in college basketball games he felt frozen at the line, while his brother could pitch 102 miles an hour at Fenway Park with no problem? It was questions like this that Sean sought to answer as he served as a strength coach with the New York Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks.As he observed minor leaguers over the long, 162-game season, there were a lot of counterintuitive patterns, like nonchalant players making it to the majors while hard workers struggled. It wasn’t until Sean joined Basketball Strong co-host Tim DiFrancesco at the Lakers that he started making connections between the brain, nervous system, and performance. He has since built such insights into evidence-based systems of excellence through Weight Room Wealth.In this episode, Sean shares:·       How he helped NBA players like Brandon Ingram unlock their full performance potential·       What you can do to stay calm on the court and in life·       Why managing threat perception is key to being your best·       How to harness neuroscience to groove new habits·       Which 3 steps will help you make focus your default state·       The funniest Randy “Big Unit” Johnson story you’ve never heardLearn more about Sean’s unique approach to the neuroscience of business and sports performance at www.weightroomwealth.com and on his Twitter feed @SLight20.
