E108 | Dan Noble: The Advantages of Anxiety

July 27, 2020

Can certain levels of anxiety be advantageous for intelligence and creativity? Can we live fully without taking risks? Join me as I contemplate these and other controversial questions with coach, author, and contributor to Conscious Coaching, Daniel Noble.


Also on today’s episode:




  • How to quiet your mind and center yourself through activity




  • Getting athletes to think / options for those who don’t love journaling




  • Closing the gap between those who “make it” and those who don’t




  • 3 timeless truths when dealing with chaos




Daniel is the co-owner of GRIT Athletics in Toronto, as well as the Director of Performance at the Hill Academy. As a coach, he’s trained Olympians, athletes from the NHL, CFL and NCAA. Daniel is also a speaker and contributing author to my book, Conscious Coaching: The Art and Science of Building Buy-In & Weight Room Wisdom. He’s been featured as a S&C Hockey expert in Sports Illustrated, The Hockey News, Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet and other media outlets.


On this show, we discuss the “light sides” of anxiety and risk as well as the “dark sides” of certain leadership traits. If you want to dive deeper on these topics and develop a framework to know yourself, your audience and how to tailor communication for that population, our flagship online course Bought In is the perfect next step.
