My guest today is Lanny Bassham, an Olympic gold medalist. After falling short in the 1972 Olympics winning the silver medal rather than gold, Lanny went home and re-applied himself. He returned to the 1976 Olympics and won the gold medal in rifle shooting. For the past 40 years, he has provided "Mental Management" training programs to clients including PGA Tour golfers, Miss America finalists, CEOs, US Navy SEALs, SWAT teams, and the FBI. In addition, Bassham briefly headed the U.S. Olympic shooting team and has operated the company Mental Management Systems with his wife Helen in Flower Mound Texas since 1977.

The topic is his book With Winning in Mind.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Creating a mental process
Changing your self image
How the top 5% think
Hard work in practice vs. Hard work in tournaments
