How to develop a mindset for peak performance | Marc Cormier | TEDxUKY

For many of us, winning can feel like everything. But does it need to be everything all the time? Performance psychology specialist, Dr. Marc Cormier, challenges this perspective and encourages us to redefine success by establishing a flexible, balanced approach to performance – in any context – to boost resilience, foster mental wellbeing, and support purpose. Dr. Marc Cormier is an award-winning performance psychology specialist with nearly 20 years of experience working in elite environments. He is an Associate Professor and Director of the Sport and Exercise Psychology Graduate Program at the University of Kentucky and serves as the Director of Performance Psychology for UK Athletics. Throughout his career, he has worked with numerous NCAA championship teams, as well as All-American and Olympic athletes/champions. More recently, he has been invited to speak to audiences in various non-sport performance contexts such as surgeons, performance artists, emergency responders, and Fortune 500 leaders. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
