Elevate Your Performance with The Bar Raiser Mindset
Hi, I'm Phil Jessé. You might know me from my journey to over 500,000 pull-ups. But my real passion lies in helping others achieve extraordinary results – not just in fitness, but in all areas of life. I developed The Bar Raiser Mindset to empower you to conquer challenges, master your mental game, and step into your power.
What is The Bar Raiser Mindset?
The Bar Raiser Mindset is more than just a catchy phrase; it's a philosophy and a framework for achieving peak performance, built on the principles of consistent effort, unwavering resilience, and a commitment to continuous improvement. It's inspired by my journey to over 500,000 pull-ups – a journey that taught me the profound connection between physical discipline and mental fortitude.
This mindset draws parallels to the concept of a "Bar Raiser," someone who sets high standards and pushes boundaries. But it's not about competition with others; it's about competing with yourself, constantly striving to become the best possible version of yourself.
The Core Principles:
- 1️⃣ Every Day is Day 1: Embrace each day as a new opportunity to learn, grow, and push your limits.
- 2️⃣ Consistent Effort: Small, daily actions, compounded over time, lead to extraordinary results.
- 3️⃣ Unwavering Resilience: Develop the mental toughness to overcome setbacks and persevere through challenges.
- 4️⃣ Audacious Goals: Set ambitious targets that stretch your capabilities and inspire you to achieve more.
- 5️⃣ Continuous Improvement: Never settle for "good enough." Always seek ways to refine your skills, knowledge, and approach.
- 6️⃣ Mind-Body Connection: Recognise the powerful link between physical well-being and mental performance.
From Pull-Ups to Performance Coaching
My journey to over 500,000 pull-ups wasn't just about physical strength; it was a masterclass in mindset. Each rep, each set, each grueling workout taught me invaluable lessons about discipline, resilience, and the power of focused intention. I learned firsthand how to overcome self-doubt, manage discomfort, and maintain unwavering commitment to a long-term goal.
This experience ignited a passion for understanding what drives human achievement. I delved into neuroscience and positive psychology, exploring the science of well-being, resilience, and optimal performance. I discovered the power of mindfulness, visualisation, guided meditation, and other proven mindset techniques. And I realised that these principles were applicable not just to fitness, but to any area of life where performance matters. This is why you'll find a wide range of content on my website and YouTube channel, from pull-up tutorials to guided meditations – it's all part of a holistic approach to performance.
My Coaching Approach
My coaching is a fusion of my personal experience and evidence-based strategies. I combine proven mindset techniques – including mindfulness, visualisation, guided meditation, affirmations, and positive psychology – with practical strategies for goal-setting and performance optimisation. I integrate the power of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), a framework used by leading organisations, to help you create a clear roadmap to your goals and track your progress with precision. Crucially, I also serve as your dedicated accountability partner, providing objective support and guidance, free from the biases that can sometimes arise in personal relationships. This isn't just about theory; it's about actionable strategies you can implement today to achieve tangible results. I offer a range of resources, from in-depth articles, and powerful guided meditations and visualisations, to personalised coaching available, to support you on your journey.
