Tom Brady’s mental fitness coach shares 6 tips on how to ‘train your mind’ like the greats

Jimmy Failla joins "Jesse Watters Primetime" to explain why he believes legendary former NFL quarterback Tom Brady might decide to put the cleats back on next season. 

There’s a reason they call seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady the "GOAT." 

Yet the credit isn’t entirely due to his touchdowns.

Brady’s secret weapon goes by the name of Greg Harden. He's a peak performance coach who's worked with other sports greats such as Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps, Heisman winner Charles Woodson and Super Bowl MVP Desmond Howard.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Harden said that his coaching promotes "mental fitness," which can be practiced and rehearsed.

These techniques, along with stories from clients who have found success, are highlighted in Harden's new book, "Stay Sane in an Insane World," which was released on Aug. 15. It includes a foreword by Brady.

"Just like you can train your muscles, you can train your mind," said the former University of Michigan director of athletic counseling.

"That's where we go with mental fitness — committing to a whole level of trying to train people, to be mentally disciplined, to understand the concept of self-mastery … and that’s what I try to push."

While his coaching has worked with major celebrities, Harden said he treats all of his clients the same.

"And when we're talking about total person peak performance, I don't see Michael Phelps as a megastar," he said. "I see him as a person who's struggling, like the rest of us, to make sense of his life."
