Hello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and welcome to your next episode of the podcast series. Today on the show, I welcome Alex Bolowich from Elite Mental Performance. If you've ever wondered why all the training, sleep and nutrition can still come unstuck, the moment pressure hits, you'll value this podcast.
Alex is a former division one goalkeeper who lived the extremes of a position where one mistake can define a whole game. After injuries, setbacks, and the kind of scrutiny that hardens you or breaks you. He shifted into mental performance coaching in Charlotte, North Carolina, helping athletes from youth to NCAA and the pros build inner strength They can actually trust when it matters.
In our conversation, we go straight to the practical.
Alex explains how to shift from survival brain to performance brain in real time, and he shares a simple reset you can use on the field or court when your head starts to spiral. We talk about mindfulness, done the athlete's way, why it's the most reliable route to consistency and we dig into brain spotting.
A powerful method for unblocking those strange yips moments when your body won't do what you know it can. We also rethink visualization, not just highlight reels, but rehearsing worst case scenarios. So you're ready to respond, not react. Along the way, we unpack confidence, whether your challenge is doubt, fear, or insecurity.
And we touch ego, identity, gratitude, and even a clean, practical approach to social media that supports performance instead of stealing it. It's honest, it's useful, and it's packed full of tools you can use today. All the links we mentioned are in the show notes, so without further ado, let's dive in. And here's my conversation with Alex Bolowich.
