What can elite athletes teach us about becoming better leaders, professionals, and human beings?

In this episode of They Call Me Mista Yu, I sit down with Dr. Jack Groppel, an internationally recognized authority in sport science and human performance, to explore the science behind peak performance.

Dr. Groppel is a Hall of Fame coach, scientist, entrepreneur, and co-founder of the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, where he helped Fortune 50 companies and leaders apply the same principles used to train world-class athletes.

From biomechanics research to leadership development, his work has shaped how organizations understand performance, resilience, energy, and human potential.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• The science behind achieving peak performance
• What elite athletes teach us about preparation and discipline
• Why recovery is essential for sustained success
• Managing energy instead of simply managing time
• How leaders perform under pressure
• Building resilience in an increasingly demanding world
• The habits that separate high performers from everyone else

Whether you're a leader, entrepreneur, athlete, professional, or someone committed to personal growth, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what is possible when you intentionally train your mind, body, and habits.
