  • In this riveting episode of *Chasing Greatness Radio*, we dive deep into the psychology that powers the world’s fastest athletes. Dr. Jason Hamilton, the mastermind behind the mental performance of the Jamaican Olympic and track teams, reveals how elite athletes master the mental battlefield before they even step onto the track.


    His work with Olympic legends like Usain Bolt has unlocked the hidden chambers of human potential, where the mind becomes the ultimate weapon in the race for greatness. 


    Dr. Hamilton paints a visceral picture of how an untrained mind is like running in quicksand, holding athletes back from their true potential. He explains that true peak performance isn’t just about muscle, speed, or endurance, but about the relentless control over the mental landscape. Every thought is sharpened into a tool, every fear dismantled before it becomes an obstacle. Without this mastery, no amount of physical talent can fully manifest. The psychological tactics that have shaped world champions are laid bare, showing how they channel pressure, nerves, and even self-doubt into forces of unstoppable momentum.


    If you’ve ever wondered what separates the world’s fastest from the rest, this episode will shatter the myth that physical talent alone drives success. Dr. Hamilton’s techniques will have you questioning whether you’ve truly tapped into the mind-body synergy that defines elite performance. Without psychological mastery, you're simply not playing at the highest level—no matter how fast, strong, or skilled you are.

  • Summary

    Stress is often misunderstood and seen as something to avoid, but it actually indicates that your life has meaning and that you're challenging yourself. Stress is valuable for high performers, but it's important to conquer it rather than just lower it. One way to do this is by improving your heart rate variability (HRV), which measures how your body responds to stress. Another key factor in conquering stress is mindset. By viewing challenges as exciting opportunities, you can release positive hormones that boost performance and help you overcome stress. Taking action and consistently caring for your body also play a crucial role in managing stress.

  • In this episode of Chasing Greatness radio Chase shares his top 4 biohacks that work Universally for almost everybody.


    4 Biohacks that Work for Everybody


    1) Meditate and/or do Breathwork in the morning before checking your Phone: There are 3 reasons why this is so Valuable.

    Our brains our most refreshed after sleep. Using this time to connect with God/Universe will bring you a sense of peace before entering into the fray of the work day.Based on our circadian rhythm our cortisol is highest in the morning. Because of this we want to be selective about raising our cortisol even more. Checking our phone raises cortisol.We want to train our minds to be able to deal with anything and everything that the day will bring. Meditation is the #1 way to do this.

    2) Sprint Fast / Lift Heavy Weights: The most effective way to train is based on your specific goals but for the majority of people who want to get as shredded and as lean as possible there is no better way than sprinting fast and lifting heavy weights.


    3) Work in Ultradian Rhythms: While the exact work-to-rest ratio depends on the demands of the job and individual preferences, the overall theme is clear: alternating between blocks of 50 to 90 minutes of intense work and recovery breaks of 7 to 20 minutes enables people to sustain the physical, cognitive, and emotional energy required for elite performance.


    4) Take a warm shower before bed: A great day starts the night before. This means that you really want to prioritize and optimize your sleep. A simple and powerful way to do this is to take a warm shower before bed. Taking a warm shower before bed is going to lower your body temperature. A lower body temperature is a key measurable factor in getting a quality night of rest.
