If Roger Federer and Michael Phelps use it, you should too! Find out the mindset tricks that elite athletes swear by.

What happens when you walk into a room at the Olympics and Michael Phelps is sitting there, doing the same breathing exercise you just learned from his mindset coach? 

Well, Swiss swimmer David Karasek knows and he’s here to tell you all about it.

In this episode of the “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” podcast, I sit down with David, an Olympian, high-performance coach, and fellow UVA grad, who reveals the mindset strategies and sports psychology tips that took him to the world stage.

We dive deep into how he conquered performance anxiety with the help of Michael Phelps’ mindset coach, Jim Bauman, and how these techniques can skyrocket your performance— whether you’re in the boardroom, on the field, or just trying to crush your daily goals.

David shares actionable tips on using visualization techniques and conscious breathing exercises that helped him stay calm under pressure. He also talks about the power of self-talk and how building mental toughness can help you overcome any failure— just like the best in the world do.

Hit play now, and get ready to unleash your inner Olympian— no swim cap required!

There's a particular drive that comes from a background in sports, a mindset forged in competition and discipline that doesn't just switch off when you leave the field. Success for the Athletic-Minded Man taps directly into that energy, translating the core principles of athletic performance into tools for everyday life. Host Jim Harshaw, Jr. understands that the same clarity needed to execute a game plan, the focus required in a critical moment, and the consistency of daily practice are the exact traits that define winning in business, relationships, and personal health. This isn't about finding more hours in the day; it's about applying a strategic, trained approach to all of it. Each episode feels like a conversation with a coach who's been in your shoes, addressing the real tension between ambitious career goals, being a present father and partner, and maintaining physical fitness without letting any single priority suffer. You'll hear practical discussions on management, self-improvement, and the mental frameworks that help you stop shortchanging the areas that matter most. The podcast moves beyond theory, offering actionable insights for men who aim to build a life of sustained achievement, where success is measured across the board, not just on a scoreboard.
