    PEP Talk #40: Lessons from Greg Harden (Thank You, Greg)

    In today’s very special PEP talk, I share lessons from the renowned Greg Harden. He helped me through my time at the University of Michigan and changed my life forever since then. It was an honor to know him and work with him as a student-athlete. I may not remember every word he told me, but I will always remember how he made me feel. He is the reason and the inspiration behind why I am a mental performance consultant today. #GoBlue #GregHarden #UMich Support and contact info: Please purchase Greg’s book: https://gregharden.com/books/ https://linktr.ee/brileycasanova ***DISCLAIMER: Please note that I do not claim to be a Psychologist, Psychiatrist or have the ability to diagnose anyone with any mental health or psychological disorders.
