About this podcast
Interested in HUMAN performance? Want to be kept up-to-date with the latest science and practice? Join Cameron Norsworthy, scientist, athlete, and coach to multiple world champions, as he unpacks key topics to peak performance, deep engagement, and health.
After a career-ending injury as an athlete, I became fascinated by human experience; why in one moment, we can be feeling and acting our very best, only to struggle and stress moments later. I studied sports and performance psychology, neuroscience, coaching, and life-hacking, and did my PhD in advancing our understanding and application of flow. I became a scientist, an entrepreneur, and a coach, and found my life’s purpose in helping some of the world’s best athletes, entrepreneurs, and professionals find their flow. My drive to keep learning and growing genesis an organisation to innovate human performance and set the standards for performance coaching.
In this podcast, I share everything that I am working on, giving you a window into the skills, insights, research, and practices that I use every day working with elite professionals. Meet experts from around the world and famous performers with unique stories as we unpack specific topics to help you evolve, raise your game when it matters, and help others to find success.
