Interview | Performance Coach

Jon Granston | March 28, 2025

This month's Sports and Entertainment Division National Call featured special guest David Elaimy, a mental coach and specialist in sports psychology. David specializes in training the minds of high level performers in athletics, business and surgery. He is the Sports Performance Consultant for the University of Washington Athletic Department, working with various coaches, athletes and teams. He is also a surgical coach, working with the neurosurgeons engaged in the Swedish Neuroscience Institute’s Cerebrovascular and Complex Spine Fellowship.

David works with individuals and teams to create a powerful vision and trains them to establish the mental skills required to elevate performance while deepening joy. His simple approach helps clients identify and eliminate the interferences that cause suffering and block progress.

We were able to get a few solid nuggets that he shares with his clients. "Performance = (Skill - Interference) +/- Luck." Hope you enjoy the conversation.
