In episode nine we are joined by Braden Brown. He is the Associate Athletic Director, specifically over Mental Health and Performance for Brigham Young University. Braden and host Robbie Harmon dive into the psychology of high performance—how resilience, confidence, and mental preparation shape success. Braden shares personal experiences and science-backed insights about handling setbacks, staying mindful under pressure, and developing routines that sustain long-term growth. Listeners walk away with both inspiration and practical strategies for building mental toughness.

Key Themes & Takeaways

1. Resilience as a Muscle – Failure isn’t final; it’s training for future wins.
2. Confidence Through Action – True confidence comes from preparation and consistent effort, not external validation.
3. Mindfulness in Performance – Staying present reduces anxiety and maximizes focus.
4. Redefining Failure – Viewing mistakes as feedback shifts your mindset from defeat to growth.
5. The Power of Daily Routines – Small, intentional habits compound into mental and emotional strength.
6. Self-Talk & Identity – The way you speak to yourself creates the narrative that drives performance.

7. Sustainable Success – Long-term achievement requires balance, not just constant grind.
