Jean Francois Menard: Mastering High Performance from the Circus to the Olympics
In this Sport Fuels Life podcast episode, we have a very special guest who shares the valuable lessons he learned from working with Cirque Du Soleil. This extraordinarily demanding contemporary circus provided a master class on high performance.
Based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Jean Francois Menard is highly regarded in the field of performance psychology. At the age of 25 and fresh out of graduate school, he joined the world-famous entertainment company Cirque Du Soleil, where he coached circus artists to handle immense physical pressures and perform their best (up to 450 times a year). Five years later, he founded Kambio Performance and has since become a sought-after mental performance specialist.
During the past four Olympic Games, the athletes he coached won 17 medals for Canada. His private clients are proven winners: Olympic gold medalists, X-Games and Super Bowl Champions, surgeons, musicians and corporate leaders.
Jean Francois Menard is a professional speaker for organizations such as the FBI, PepsiCo, RedBull, Cisco, RBC and NASA and is also a bestselling author of two books: "Train Your Brain Like an Olympian" and "Team Chemistry".
His insights on achieving high performance are helpful to athletes, coaches, and more!
