Dr. Gene Landrum
(Interview
featured on A Man's World, February
28,
2006)
A successful
entrepreneur who founded two of the most recognizable companies
in America, Chuck E. Cheese and Atari, Gene Landrum,
Ph.D., has spent his entire life studying the underpinnings of
success, and the past several years researching the most successful
athletes of the 20th century and what made them great. His latest
book on the subject is EMPOWERMENT: The Competitive Edge
in Sports, Business & Life.
If
you were asked what separates elite professional athletes like
Tiger Woods,
Mohamed Ali, Babe Ruth, Jeff Gordon and Wayne Gretzky
from you and me and you answered, "talent", you'd be
like 99% of everyone else ... And you'd be dead wrong according
to Dr. Landrum.
It may startle
you to learn that years of intense research into what makes the
most successful athletes on the planet tick, has
uncovered one undeniable fact ... most "regular" people
have as much physical talent as they do! So what's keeping the
tiger within you from coming out? Tune in to this intrigueing interview
to hear Dr. Landrum reveal:
- What are the behaviors that separate the superstars in sports
and business from the also-rans?
- Is athletic excellence mainly about the mind or the body? Is it
born talent or acquired skill?
- What is behavioral kinesiology and what does it have to do with
being successful?
- 13
traits nearly every successful athlete displays — and why learning
to duplicate them could help you (or your kids) become
the next Tiger Woods
- Why
most athletes who never live up to their potential would be
better served working on their mind, rather than their
physical skills
- What
world champion athletes have in common with successful entrepreneurs
— and why it's these qualities that make them great, not physical
prowess
