Day 11 – The Agony of Almost: Learning to Let Go and Move On | The Game Inside the Games

You work your whole life towards one goal… and you come up short by a fraction of a second. How do you bounce back from that? How do you move forward?On Day 11 of The Game Inside The Games, gold medalist Nastia Liukin and high-performance psychologist Dr. Michael Gervais explore the psychological and emotional complexities that athletes face when they fall just short of a gold medal or podium. They discuss the flood of emotions that can overwhelm an athlete in pivotal moments, the importance of processing those emotions, and how to use past experiences to fuel future success. With personal stories and expert insights, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what an athlete experiences when they come up just short – and how they can turn the agony of "almost" into a driving force for excellence.With Fire,The FM TeamThis episode is brought to you by KPMG and Microsoft. KPMG is unlocking the value of Copilot for Microsoft 365.
