#6: Herb Perez - How to Think, Train & Win Like an Olympic Champion
Manage episode 466718513 series 2890815
“If you define success by achieving specific things on a rigid path, then you set yourself up for disappointment. True success is process-oriented, goal-focused.”
"In a finite game, the purpose is to win. In an infinite game, the purpose is to keep playing.”
"Winning isn’t always the best indicator of success. Performing at your highest level is."
--Herb Perez
"Welcome to The Black Belt Podcast! I’m your host, Harinder Singh, and today we have a truly remarkable episode lined up for you. My guest is none other than Olympic gold medalist, martial artist, strategist, and master coach—Herb Perez.
Herb is a living embodiment of what it means to be a true martial artist—not just in skill, but in mind, heart, and philosophy. He’s a competitor at the highest level, a deep thinker, and a leader who has helped shape the next generation of martial artists and high performers.

In this episode, we go beyond just martial arts and competition. Herb shares the hidden truths behind success, breaking down the infinite game—why mastery isn’t about winning but about staying in the game and continuously evolving. We talk about the power of patience, the difference between performance and results, and how to prepare, read, and manipulate an opponent at the highest levels of competition.
This is an episode about strategy, focus, perseverance, and transformation—a masterclass for martial artists, athletes, coaches, and anyone seeking to unlock their full potential in any field.
So, get ready for some incredible wisdom, and let’s dive into my conversation with the legendary Herb Perez."
