Josh Waitzkin is an American chess prodigy turned martial arts champion. He became a national chess master at age sixteen and was an eight-time national scholastic chess champion — his early chess career inspired the film Searching for Bobby Fischer, based on his father Fred Waitzkin's book. In his twenties he turned to tai chi chuan and push hands competition, winning multiple world championship titles. He now works as a performance coach and has developed methods for training elite performers in high-stakes fields including finance, special operations, and athletics.
