Description

Winter sport is back – and if you're sitting with a stomach full of nerves this week, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, Kylie Lynch opens up about returning from an ACL injury and what she's learned about the gap between physical readiness and mental readiness. Round one nerves are not the same as regular season nerves, and not enough people name that. This episode does.

Whether you're lacing up for the first time this season, coming back from injury, or sitting on the outside after missing selection – Kylie shares practical mindset tools to help you shift from survival mode into performance mode before you run out.

Kylie also offers her FREE 5-Minute Pre-Game Reset, a simple five-step tool built from years of working with sports psychologists and high-performance mindset coaches in Australia. Press on the link above or DM "RESET" to @4tg_podcast on Instagram and I'll send it through! Download it and use it this weekend.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why round one nerves hit differently to mid-season nerves
• The invisible pressure of reestablishing yourself every season
• Coming back from long-term injury and the grief that comes with it
• How to handle non-selection without spiralling
• Reframing nerves as energy, not weakness
• Why calm beats hype as a pre-game state
• How to access the free 5-Minute Pre-Game Reset

Best of luck to everyone playing in Round 1!
