Episode #6 - Today's guest on 𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗪𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞 is a mindset and performance coach helping athletes and business professionals reach their highest potential. Dris Mi is from Morocco where he was introduced to surfing, and has since traveled the world offering his practice—combining techniques from sports psychology, positive mindset, neuro-linguistic programming, social and emotional intelligence.

When the International Olympic Committee added surfing as an official event for the 2020 Olympics, China was among the countries that quickly formed their official surfing teams and have since “invested heavily in employing elite level training and facilities—including a $26 million wave pool patterned after Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch.” They hired Coach Dris Mi as head coach to implement goal-setting strategies, breathwork, and much more.
