Send us a textThis week, I sit down with my friend and mental preparation expert, Vincent Maltz, to explore a powerful and often misunderstood phenomenon in high-performance sport: how pressure can derail both individuals and teams.When pressure mounts, it can trigger a threat response in the brain, activating neurological and psychological patterns rooted in fear. The result? Fight, flight, or freeze. For individual athletes, it shows up as choking, the yips, or “squeezing the stick.” For teams, it's that haunting feeling when they just don't show up.We dig into the underlying mechanisms behind these moments, and what it takes to build athletes and teams who can face fear, step into it, and perform.It's a fascinating conversation with a brilliant mind. I really enjoyed it—and I think you will too.

Send us a textThis EP is a solo session.  I didn't have an interview recorded, and I decided I would take the time to talk about where we find ourselves today in society at large, and perhaps what has led us to a difficult and unsteady state.The world at large ebbs and flows, grows, and contracts, and we as human citizens struggle to know what to look toward for solace and a sense of control. It's not easy living on this planet, but a lot of what can make it a better experience is how we understand ourselves.  How what we see, and why we see it drives how we feel, and ultimately what we experience.I hope you find some value in my ramblings.

The first was simply me telling the listener what LYM would be, the second was my first guest Erik Guay.  I had trained Erik for the last six years of his career, and I thought sitting down with him and understanding his life and career as they were coming close to a conclusion would be a great way to start this show.I had no idea what was ahead, how many I would do, or who I would have the honor and pleasure of speaking with throughout this journey of six-plus years.  So many great stories, so many incredible guests, and so much insight unpacked.  How lucky am I to have had this experience?400!!Four hundred podcasts and the 400th is being released today on my 61st birthday!

The perfect combination of smarts, humility, desire to accomplish, willingness to pull on the rope with others, always willing to share, learn, and mentor, and most of all, always up for a good laugh.  This one is all about stories from our experiences in the world of high-performance sports.It's been a ride.  One podcast every week for the last six years and counting, with no plan to stop.  More amazing guests, more amazing stories, and hopefully value found by you, the listener.Thank you to all the amazing guests for your time, so precious as it is, and thank you to all the listeners who keep coming back and keeping the show alive.A deep thank you to my sponsors now and early on.

In this EP I decided to talk alone about an important subject to me, mentorship. Informal and formal mentorship can shape the experiences of your life.  If it's done well, it challenges you to self-reflect and grow.  A good mentor will not only give you advice but will challenge you to understand why you want to do what you want to do in the first place.  Making decisions is the easy part of life, understanding why you want to go one direction or the other is the hard part. We are not encouraged to look inside ourselves early enough in life.  Instead, we are encouraged to follow the protocols of life, the directions acknowledged and advised by society at large.  This leads inevitably to the mid-life crisis, the burnout, or the sense of disappointment that is often medicated by all the vices of life that become the insulation for the fear and pain of our circumstances. It doesn't need to be this way, you can begin to find a quality internal compass much earlier in life that will allow you to follow a path you own and believe in, one that creates real fulfillment and joy.  This is the reason I began the LYM Life Lab, and I begin a new cohort in September should you wish to join at www.LYMLab.com If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston.
