Exclusive Video Interview with Dr. Jim Loehr, sport psychologist

Twenty years ago, while I was working at the Professional Tennis Registry with master pro Dennis Van der Meer, I met sport psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr. He was starting to get recognition for his approach to mental toughness training for tennis and had written "Mentally Tough," a book that had caught the media's interest as it dealt with winning in sports applied to winning in business. I saw an opportunity to develop Loehr's international speaking tours in Europe on a handshake and on my own dime. For eight months, I lived in my friend Klaus Regnault's couch on a very limited budget, yet I signed up six cities where Loehr delivered eye-opening presentations to tennis pros.

The speaking tours’ success was my ticket to join Loehr at the IMG/Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida, where we worked with world-class tennis players such as Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Monica Seles, Arantxa Sanchez, Mary Joe Fernandez and many others on how to achieve peak performance.

In 1992, we moved to Saddlebrook Resort in Tampa, where Loehr formed LGE Saddlebrook Sport Science with Dr. Jack Groppel and trainer Pat Etcheberry. The company rapidly expanded and corporations started to request long-term engagements to help their employees become "corporate athletes."

Jim is the author of best-selling books such as "Mental Toughness Training for Sports," "Stress for Success," "The Power of Full Engagement" and "The Power of Story." He's the Chairman of The Human Performance Institute in Lake Nona, Orlando, where executives and athletes learn how to align their physical and mental skills to sustain their Ideal Performance State and becoming fully engaged. I'm honored to have received his mentorship and eternally grateful for having endorsed me to become an American citizen and being able to work with him.

I recently visited Jim in Orlando and he kindly sat down for a video interview that I'm certain you will find both fascinating and revealing.
