112 Joe Jacobi: How You Win Olympic Gold By Aiming For The Rocks, And What It Teaches You About Midlife Peak Performance

In this amazing episode of The Unlock Moment, we tap into the mindset of a world-leading performance coach who won Olympic gold in the challenging currents of whitewater canoeing. We talk about how the places that feel safe are not always the places with highest opportunity. And we delve deep into the thoughts of one who is a true expert in the art of navigating the choppy waters of midlife uncertainty.

Joe Jacobi is an Olympic gold medallist, a CEO, a performance coach and author who guides high performance leaders to ignite their second wind to confront challenging midlife transitions with meaning and adventure. Back in the Barcelona Olympics of 1992, Joe won America’s first ever Olympic Gold Medal in the sport of whitewater canoe slalom, competing with his canoeing partner Scott Strausbaugh. These days he’s back in that same part of the world, where he lives in a mountain home in the Pyrenees.

In 2022, Joe published his first book, "Slalom: 6 River Classes About How To Confront Obstacles, Advance Amid Uncertainty, And Bring Focus To What Matters Most." It’s full of Joe's reflections, experiences, relationships, and strategies on how more than 40 years on the river transferred to navigating your river of life.

I’m looking forward to hearing Joe’s take on what it takes to become an Olympic gold medallist, the challenges he faced after retiring from the sport and how he got his life back on track. And of course I’m curious about the Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity that helped him to figure out the path ahead.
