Jon's Bio:
Jon McGraw is currently an entrepreneur and mentor after a successful NFL career. During Jon?s 10-year NFL career, his leadership skills earned him the position of team captain and NFLPA team representative. Jon also completed NFL-sponsored business management and entrepreneurship programs at Harvard Business School and Wharton Business School.

After retirement though, he realized that pursuing his dreams had been anything but ?a dream.? Although he played for both of his childhood favorite teams, he spent most of that time working a ?dream job? that was a stressful and unfulfilling means to an end. For a while, all that stress and anxiety was a good motivator, but ultimately it cost him his health, performance, and enjoyment.

Only at the very end of his time in the NFL did he shift his focus?and then, started enjoying football again. He experienced greater fulfillment and better performance, and realized that a subtle change in mindset made a major impact on his performance.

Today, Jon dedicates himself to teaching teams in business and sport how to take back control of what matters and take on a life-changing ?Performance Mindset.? Using proven methods from performance science, along with an ?inside-out? approach to dynamic change in the workplace and in life, the team at Vision Pursue has helped some of the top businesses and sports teams turn struggle into success.
