Dave Acosta is a mental fitness coach and speaker on elite leadership. A former\xa0point-man on the Las Vegas SWAT, he works globally with elite military and security forces. Dave\xa0studies what makes the elite -- elite. In this show, we discuss the formula Dave\xa0created\xa0that includes four common denominators that every elite performer possesses. Here\u2019s what we cover in this show with Dave. \xa0 When people ask Dave what he does, how does he like to reply? The front\xa0of Dave's website says, \u201cYour Defining Moment." Why that statement? Do we need to be more aware of our surroundings today? What is Dave telling his kids when they are\xa0out and about? When asked to consult the Navy SEALS in Iraq, how did he handle his mindset amongst elite\xa0performers in a combat situation? Teamwork for SEALS was different from anything Dave had seen\u2026.why? SEALS know that if they cut a corner, someone else will play the price. Who pays?\xa0 Never cut corners\u2026what does that mean in the forces?\xa0 Dave has a unique quality, he reinforces his students trust in themselves. How does he go\xa0about doing that? Dave believes in three things: recognise, assess and react - he explains that to us. Dave is a mental fitness coach; a\xa0corporate\xa0worker is not fit if they are mentally unfit. Where should they\xa0start to get mentally fit? How do elite performers sustain their high level of\xa0performance? Is purposeful suffering a form of stress inoculation?\xa0 In Iraq, Dave learned, "I\u2019m capable." He said to himself, "I\u2019m capable." What\xa0made Dave believe that? What has Dave eliminated from his work to make is more\xa0efficient or productive? Quitting and giving up are two\xa0different things - why? \xa0 LINKS \xa0 Dave Acosta http://daveacosta.com/ \xa0 Fight Back Nation training with Dave Acosta http://www.fightbacknation.org \xa0 Jason Mraz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZi3gJSWd4Y \xa0 The Mojo Radio Show website themojoradioshow.com \xa0 The Mojo Radio Show on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheMojoRadioShowPodcast/ \xa0 The Mojo Radio Show on Twitter https://twitter.com/tmrspod \xa0 The Mojo Radio Show Answering Machine 08 7200 6656 08 7200 MOJO \xa0 The Mojo Radio Show copyright Gary Bertwistle & Darren Robertson \xa0 Products or companies we discuss are not paid endorsements.
