Mental Performance Coach and decorated U.S. Army veteran Andy Riise shares how his biggest breakthroughs didn't happen on a battlefield, they happened in a school performance center during a time he was struggling at West Point. "Mental toughness is a learned behavior. It's a set of skills." Life is about always crossing a bridge, with resilience in the middle between survival on the left and thriving on the right. Sustained success is about optimization, not perfection and human character is the multiplier. "I've never met an effective leader that hasn't fundamentally cared about other human beings."
