Jorge Carvajal is a performance coach and consultant who has worked with elite athletes in multiple sports and the tactical world for over twenty five years.

He has trained thousands of athletes, at the University of Florida, the University of Nebraska, the U.S. Olympic training center, along with numerous professional athletes from the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, World Surf League Big Wave Tour surfers, and Tactical Athletes in the Fire Service, Law Enforcement SWAT and SRT, and Military Communities.

In this show, Jorge and I discuss how he built a coaching practice around life, why athletes need to be sold, and some insights into his people first philosophy.

George is just an incredibly interesting guy to talk to, and we have some great back and forth discussions. I really think you’ll enjoy our talk.
