BOTM: Getting To Neutral - Trevor Moawad | Why Neutral?

Trevor Moawad was a renowned mental conditioning expert and strategic advisor to some of the world's most elite performers including Russell Wilson, Marcus Stroman, Nick Saban, Kirby Smart and Jimbo Fisher. In 2017 he was named the "Sports World's Best Brain Trainer" by Sports Illustrated. In chapter one, Trevor introduces neutral thinking to us and explains what it means to think neutrally. He explains the difference between just being positive verses being neutral while also emphasizing not being negative. Most of the time you may think, "well if I'm not negative I must be positive." and that’s not always the case and that is exactly where neutral thinking fits in. In this episode, I meet with book club member Noah Villeroel and we discuss how and where we can apply neutral thinking in our everyday lives.
