    How Speaking and Being an Athlete Are the Same Thing

    Most speakers prepare for their big talks, but very few actually train like athletes, and that's the gap holding them back from true mastery.   In this episode, I'm sharing why approaching your speaking like an athlete is the key to extraordinary performance and how the reps you do between big moments are exactly what make you extraordinary when it counts.   When you tune in, you'll discover: The crucial difference between preparing for a talk and training like an athlete Why staying in the reps through podcasts, panels, and smaller stages builds your voice as a muscle How to rehearse properly (hint: it's not in your head or reading notes—it's on your feet) The importance of protecting your instrument and organizing your assets like a pro Why conserving energy allows you to spend it extravagantly on stage More from Tricia  Claim your spot for my two-day virtual masterclass, The Art of The Big Talk Join me LIVE for my Complimentary Monthly Workshop Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram  Connect with me on Facebook  Connect with me on LinkedIn  Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com
