The Process Over the Podium: Mental Toughness for Athletes and Entrepreneurs with Dr. Patrick Cohn

In this episode of What Are You Made Of, Mike "C-Roc" sits down with Dr. Patrick Cohn, founder of Peak Performance Sports and a leading expert in sports psychology. With a Master’s degree from California State University, Fullerton under Dr. Ken Ravizza and a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia with Dr. Bob Rotella, Patrick has spent decades mentoring athletes, day traders, and entrepreneurs to reach peak mental performance.

Patrick opens up about his personal journey as a survivor of melanoma and lung cancer, sharing how facing life-threatening adversity shaped his perspective and approach to mental performance. He dives deep into the mindset of elite athletes, discussing the importance of focusing on process over outcome, managing identity beyond performance, and thriving through slumps both on the field and in business.

From lessons in resilience and goal-setting to the nuances of entrepreneurship and performance coaching, Patrick shares actionable strategies for anyone looking to excel under pressure while staying grounded in their true identity.

This episode is a masterclass in mental toughness, perspective, and the art of being “made of” more than just results.
