In this episode I sit down with Dr Braden Brown, Director of Mental Health at BYU and mental performance specialist, to explore the mental skills that help us perform at our best.


Drawing on his experience as a former college football player and his work with high-performing athletes, Braden shares practical tools for managing pressure, overcoming self-doubt and building mental resilience.


What we cover:


  • How to manage pressure, nerves and self-doubt
  • Why psychological flexibility is key to performance
  • How mindfulness can strengthen your mental game
  • What separates the world's greatest performers
  • How to reset and refocus after making a mistake


Whether you're an athlete, leader or simply want to perform better under pressure, this conversation offers practical tools for strengthening your mental game.
