013 | Playoff Mindset: How to Perform Under Pressure + 3 Mental Shifts for Big Games
The pressure is on, the crowd is loud, and your heart’s pounding like crazy. You’ve trained all season for this—so why does it feel like everything might fall apart? Whether you’re preparing for playoffs or dreaming of that big game moment, the truth is this: some athletes rise under pressure, and some shrink from it. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my own NBL1 journey—fresh off a back-to-back MVP season—and share 3 powerful mindset shifts that helped me perform with confidence when everything was on the line. This isn’t just about skill; it’s about what happens in your mind when the stakes are high. Let’s get you playoff ready—inside and out.

Why athletes either rise or fall by 15% in high-pressure moments—and what makes the difference
