In this episode, I break down the four-step process we use with our Champion Living athletes to handle the mental side of competition:

Catch it. Check it. Change it. Prove it.

Negative thoughts are going to happen. The goal isn't to pretend they don't exist. It's learning to catch them, figure out what's actually true, reframe the thought, and then back it up with action. If you've ever let your own head get in the way of your performance, this episode is for you.
