On Finding Peace and Confidence Under Pressure | Jim Murphy

As a professional baseball player, Jim Murphy’s sense of worth revolved around results. 

He was focused on achievement but also afraid of failure. 

When he started coaching professional and Olympic athletes, he often encountered the same mindset. 

So he became obsessed with learning how the best in the world performed with peace and confidence under pressure.

After years of research, two revelatory insights emerged:

First, 

In the moments that matter most

It’s our heart (not our mind) that unlocks extraordinary performance.

 Second,

The path to experiencing peace and confidence under pressure

And 

The path toward a deeply fulfilling life

Are one and the same. 

These realizations changed his life. 

Today we’ll unpack what he learned and the powerful approach to living and performing he developed as a result. 

It’s an approach that centers around centuries-old principles of love, wisdom, and courage - What he calls Inner Excellence. 

Jim will also offer some of the most potent practices he uses with his clients for training the heart, 

And his insight into how we can unlock our performance potential, while experiencing more love, joy, and purpose through the process.
