Join Dr. Jared Pelo as he sits down with sport scientists Dr. Morgan Smith and Dr. Mo Merritt to explore the fascinating intersection of human performance, mindset, and metrics. Dr. Smith, a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford studying applied human performance, and Dr. Merritt, who works with the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, share their unique perspectives on athletic development and achievement.  In this enlightening conversation, discover:  How metrics and data can both help and hinder athletic performance  The importance of developing a growth mindset when learning new skills  Why the "coach's eye" remains crucial in an age of advanced metrics  Practical strategies for pushing past perceived limitations  The value of embracing discomfort in the pursuit of growth  Whether you're an athlete, coach, or someone interested in optimizing your performance, this discussion offers valuable insights into the delicate balance between objective metrics and subjective experience.
