Every athlete hits mental roadblocks. The difference between staying stuck and breaking through often comes down to one thing: your mindset.
In this episode, we break down two game-changing acronyms: FEAR and DARE.
FEAR is what keeps you stuck:
Fusion with unhelpful thoughts
Excessive goals that overwhelm
Avoidance of discomfort
Remoteness from values
DARE is how you move forward:
Defusion — seeing thoughts for what they are, not what they say
Acceptance of discomfort — learning to feel it and keep going
Realistic goals — achievable, aligned, and motivating
Embracing values — reconnecting with what truly matters
If you've ever felt pressure to be perfect, feared failure, or lost the joy in your sport, this episode will give you a fresh way to reset and refocus. This isn’t about hype — it’s about building a mental game that actually works under pressure.
