Ultrarunning eventually becomes a mental problem. The body hurts, the race stops going to plan, and the question becomes what the best ultrarunners understand about continuing when quitting makes sense.Harvey Lewis has spent 30 years figuring that out. In part two of our conversation in Ohio, we get into the mental strategies behind Backyard Ultra, why different races require different mindsets, the failures that changed how Harvey competes, and what decades of Badwater, journey runs, and 200-milers have taught him about going farther than he thought possible.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Thumbnail photo by Romain MayambiTopics / Timestamps00:00 Harvey Lewis Intro01:15 The Mental Game of Ultrarunning10:47 Learning How Not to Quit14:06 Different Mindsets for Different Races16:55 Pilgrimages and Journey Runs23:31 What Failure Taught Harvey Lewis30:33 What the Best Ultrarunners UnderstandResources / LinksSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Borderlands.ccHigh TonesRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

What does it really take to succeed at the highest level of baseball? In this episode of The Price for Paradise, Woody sits down with Mike Fetters—a 16-year Major League pitcher, former MLB pitching coach, and one of baseball's most respected pitching minds. From growing up in Hawaii to pitching against legends like Barry Bonds and coaching the next generation of big leaguers, Mike shares the lessons that statistics can't measure. The conversation dives into the mental side of competition, handling pressure in the biggest moments, controlling adrenaline, building trust between pitcher and catcher, and why understanding the athlete matters more than relying solely on analytics.

In this episode, we cover: - Mike Fetters' journey to a 16-year MLB career - Facing Barry Bonds and the greatest hitters in baseball - The Barry Bonds vs. Shohei Ohtani GOAT debate - Why analytics don't tell the whole story - Reading athletes beyond the numbers - Controlling adrenaline under pressure - Building elite confidence and resilience - Coaching philosophy and player development - Lessons from MLB clubhouses and championship teams - Why great coaches never stop learning If you enjoy conversations about baseball, mindset, leadership, and peak performance, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Mental performance coach Stacy Ingram reveals why teen athletes with the most talent still hit a wall when they haven't trained the mental side.   Talent gets an athlete to the starting line, but mental toughness is what decides who's still standing at the finish. Dr. Andrew Fix sits down with Stacy, founder of Catalyst Mental Performance, to explore why so many young athletes build their entire mindset around results and what happens when injury, a slump, or the end of a season pulls that identity out from under them.   Ingram breaks down her IGNITE framework and explains why the difference between coaching and therapy matters more than most people realize. She and Fix dig into a question worth sitting with: what actually happens in your brain and body when the pressure is highest, and are you training for that moment or just hoping to survive it?   From free throw lines to final exams to high pressure moments at work, the conversation makes a compelling case that nervous system regulation and self-talk are skills, not personality traits. Ingram also gets honest about the gap between wanting to change and being ready to do the work, and what parents and coaches can do to spot the difference.   Whether you coach athletes, raise one, or just want to perform better under your own version of pressure, this episode offers a practical look at what separates those who thrive under pressure from those who crumble.   Quotes "Without the sport or like a big job you might have had or a career, if you don't know who you are as a person, you take that away and all of a sudden you have this huge gap of confidence because what made you you, at least in your mind, is gone." (12:54 | Stacy Ingram) "Therapy is really all about sort of how did you get here and looking a little bit more backwards, where coaching is all about how do like you're here, no matter how you got here, how do we move you forward?" (20:01 | Stacy Ingram) "We often aren't playing our best game when we're only focused on the score. And again, it doesn't mean we don't always want to win. Of course we want to win. But we want to do the things that give us the best chance." (34:37 | Stacy Ingram) "If you do nothing or implement nothing I teach you, nothing will change." (49:36 | Stacy Ingram) "Being intentional about our actions and our life instead of just letting things happen to us, kind of guiding that path and how we do that ourselves intentionally versus letting other people pick and choose it for us."

Christine Hobson retired at 60. Two days later, she ran her first marathon.She has run more than 100 since. Every continent. A world record in Antarctica. And when she describes it, she does not lead with the marathons. She leads with what the first one taught her: she had been underestimating herself the whole time.That is the topic this week.We do this as humans. We try something, it does not go well, and we file it away as evidence. Enough of those and we start building a case against ourselves. I hear it constantly when I suggest pickleball to somebody. I'm too old. I'm too out of shape. I'm too late. Fill in the blank.There is a second story in the episode that lands the same point from a different angle. A woman on a date says, almost by accident, that in another universe she would be a stand-up comedian. She had never said it out loud before. Her date asks the obvious question back: why not in this universe? She gave him the list of reasons. He kept peeling them back. She became a stand-up comedian.So here is the pickleball version. You have a picture of yourself out on the court. The player who sees the game better, who puts the ball where they meant to put it, who feels good walking on. If that player is a 3.5 and you are a 2.5, there is nothing structural stopping you. Not tomorrow. Maybe not in six months. But in eighteen months, with a clear plan and a clear sense of what you are working on, absolutely.To be sure, some things really do impede you. Bad information impedes you. Bad guidance impedes you. Coming at the game from a purely technical angle, where you need to know the exact paddle angle and exactly where each toe points, impedes you, because that is not how the brain learns to play. Those are real.Everything else on your list, you put there.And to be clear, none of this is a directive. Nobody needs to reach a level. If you are happy playing exactly the way you play now, that is a fine place to be. But if there is a version of you out ahead that you actually want, do not be the one blocking the path.**The riff: two ways to handle adversity**Missing a shot is an adverse event. Small on the scale of adversity, but real inside the game.First situation. My partner and I are stacked. The return of serve comes back hard, with spin, into the far corner. He has to cover a lot of ground and hit a very difficult backhand. He catches the top of the net. Good effort, hard shot, no issue.He apologizes. I tell him there is nothing to apologize for, that it was a great return and a tough ask from that position, and that I am not upset. He apologizes again. Then he says it: I shouldn't miss that.He processed it the same way today that he processed it a few years ago. It is a loop, and it costs him something every time.Second situation. Last game of the day, court one, score somewhere in the fours, evenly matched. My focus wandered off. I do not know where it went, but it left. I missed a few shots I do not normally miss.I could have hunkered down and demanded that focus come back. But there is no switch to flip. Ebbs and flows in attention are the most natural thing in the world. They happen to full-time professional athletes in every sport.So I told my partner: pick me up, I'll be back in a few minutes. And I was. We lost that game, but we tightened it up and made it competitive down the stretch.Same category of event. Two very different relationships with it. The second one gives you a calmer mind, and a calmer mind sees the court better and hits the next ball better. That is not a soft benefit. That is the mechanism.**Extra coaching tip**Notice who your partner is apologizing to. When a player says sorry after a difficult miss, they are usually not apologizing to you. They are apologizing to the version of themselves who was supposed to make that shot. That is why reassurance from you does not land. You cannot answer an expectation you did not set.What you can do is name the difficulty of the shot out loud, once, and then move on to the next point with your own body language completely neutral. You are not arguing with their standard. You are just declining to feed it.Be well,Tony

You put a filter on your kitchen sink. You don't want debris getting into your plumbing.So here's the question a Buddhist monk asked on a podcast recently: how many of us have a filter for our mind?This week we look at filtration. Not the sink kind. The kind that decides which pickleball information gets into your head and which information gets blocked at the door. There is a lot of content out there. Some of it is wrong. Some of it is incomplete. Some of it is fine, but not for you, not right now. Without a filter, all of it goes down the drain and clogs up your thinking.Tony walks through how to build a filtration system: start with a short list of trusted sources, then strengthen the filter as your understanding of the game grows. He also flags one of the easiest filters you can use today — what to do when the coaching starts with "this is what I do."Then in the riff: "What level is this camp for?" It sounds like a reasonable question. Tony makes the case that it is actually a filter working against you. We all play the same game. Same court. Same rules. Same fundamentals. Serve, return, volleys. The player who executes those better wins.

This week on Next on the Tee, I'm joined by two of the game's very best. Legendary golf course architect Rees Jones—known worldwide as "The Open Doctor"—shares stories about designing or renovating more than 225 golf courses including 7 US Open sites, 8 PGA Championship courses, 5 Ryder Cup courses, 2 Walker Cup venues, and 1 President's Cup site. Rees also renovated Bethpage Black and explains why the sign stating the course is meant for highly skilled players is no joke. You'll also hear what makes The Keep at McLemore so special, and how he decides where to put the par 3s and par 5s in his course layouts. Then, Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor Jeff Smith returns to help us all enjoy the game more. Jeff makes every segment he's a part of so much fun. His teaching style makes him one of the most sought-after teachers in our game. Jeff shares practical advice on the mental side of golf, how to flush away the negative thoughts and where we don't want to it and replace it with something positive...but you'll be surprised how he does that. Jeff is great, and you're really going to enjoy and get a lot out of the segment. If you love golf course architecture, golf instruction, the mental game, golf course design, and stories from the people who continue to shape our game, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Day one is exciting. Day two still feels fresh. Day three is when the “new car smell” is gone and the work gets real, and that's where most goals quietly die. We talk with Dre Baldwin (Dre All Day), former pro basketball player and founder of Work On Your Game, about how to push through that moment without waiting for motivation to magically return.We get practical about the difference between motivation and discipline, why you can't build a career on feelings, and how to create execution reliability through structure, habits, and standards. Dre shares the mindset that helped him go from Division III basketball to the pros through personal initiative, cold calls, and proof, then translate the mental game of sport into business, leadership, and life. We also break down confidence as “competence minus interference,” why “fake it till you make it” backfires, and how identity drives behavior when no one is watching.For leaders, we dig into accountability that doesn't feel like a personal attack. Instead of vague expectations and late performance reviews, we explore a simple “scoreboard” approach that measures execution early, catches drift before results fall apart, and makes feedback easier to hear and easier to give.If you're chasing a big goal, leading a team, or trying to build real consistency, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a third day reset, and leave a review with the standard you're raising next.

What really separates great golfers from the rest? In this episode of The Mind Caddie Podcast, Karl Morris is joined by top coach and former tour player Randy Joyner to unpack the mental and technical lessons from the US Open — and how everyday golfers can use them to play better under pressure. Together, Karl and Randy explore why so many golfers get trapped in overthinking their swing, how elite players stay present when the pressure is at its highest, and why the real key to better golf may be learning to focus on shots, not swing mechanics. They discuss Wyndham Clark's US Open win, the importance of acceptance, composure and attention control, and why golfers at every level can improve by understanding low point control, club-ground interaction, and the mental skills that create freedom on the course. The conversation also dives into putting, practice habits, anxiety, confidence, and why trying to control every technical detail can actually hold your game back. If you want to stop getting in your own way, improve your focus, and learn how better players really think their way around a golf course, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Welcome to the Win Cycle Podcast! On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Jeff Troeltsch discuss mental performance in endurance sports, focusing on perfectionism and race anxiety. Troeltsch emphasizes the importance of accepting one's current state while striving for improvement, rather than being perpetually dissatisfied. He highlights the need to manage cognitive distortions and the impact of data on athletes' mindsets. Troeltsch also stresses the significance of breathing techniques and maintaining a balanced perspective on performance. Additionally, they touch on the concept of identity, advising athletes to see themselves as individuals rather than as solely defined by their sports achievements.

In this episode of In The LOOP Podcast, Jordan Jo sits down with retired Olympic figure skater, high performance coach, entrepreneur, wife, and mom Paige Lawrence Champion for a conversation about mindset, confidence, resilience, identity, and what it truly takes to perform at your highest level. They dive into topics every athlete can relate to, including confidence versus self belief, handling criticism, learning from mistakes, creating flow state, and separating your identity from your performance. Paige also shares practical strategies for managing pressure, building resilience, and showing up as your best self both inside and outside the arena. Beyond competition, the conversation explores motherhood, entrepreneurship, intentional living, and why having it all is less about balance and more about being clear on your priorities. At the heart of the episode is a powerful reminder that success is not about perfection. It is about consistently investing in your growth, trusting the process, and realizing you are capable of far more than you give yourself credit for.

In this episode of On The Mark, Mark Immelman welcomes Carolin Pinegger (Austrian national team alum, UCF golfer, former LPGA/Symetra player, and now coach + social media star). Carolin shares what it was like competing on Big Break: Myrtle Beach—five weeks isolated, long production days, constant cameras—and why that experience made competitive golf feel easy by comparison. From there, the episode becomes a masterclass on what really wrecks swings: Tension, driven by brain “traffic.” Carolin explains how to train your brain like a muscle, use breathing to shift from “red” (overstimulated) back to “green,” and build dependable systems that hold up under pressure. Then she delivers a set of at-home drills (no range required) to improve grip, sequencing, pressure shift, and putting start line—using everyday items like a hammer, mirror, towels, and books. In This Episode, You'll Discover:  What Big Break pressure is really like (cameras, no phones, 3 hours sleep) Why tension happens — and how the brain's “traffic” affects your body The mindset truth: You don't rise to standards — you fall to systems How to move from “red” to “green” using belly breathing, and Why at-home motion training works (less “hit ball” mode, more learning.) Carolin also share 5 Game Improvement drills you can do at home: Drill #1: Hammer & Hinge (fix grip + wrist set, stop early elbow fold) Drill #2: Backswing Sequence (Mirror) (hinge → arms → shoulders → hips) Drill #3: Mirror Depth Check (hands near heels; match top position to your shot shape) Drill #4: Flow / Pressure Shift (towels under feet for rhythm + movement) Drill #5: Book Putting Gate (start-line training + “through” mindset.)  Key Takeaways: Your brain is trainable. Treat it like a muscle and build routines that lower “traffic.”  Pressure kills feel. Systems hold up when nerves show up. Grip + wrist function matter. Many swing issues start with the trail hand and early elbow fold. Sequence starts in the backswing. Build separation in the backswing, then keep moving through. Putting begins with start line. You can't make it if you can't start it on your intended line. This podcast is also available as a vodcast on YouTube.  In fact it is recommendable to watch it so you can learn exactly how to do the drills.  Search and subscribe to Mark Immelman.

Alright, if you want a raw, unfiltered elk hunting conversation from a guy who is absolutely obsessed with the game — this is your episode. Brandon Schmitz out of North Idaho joins the show for his very first podcast appearance, and let me tell you, this dude brings it. No fluff, no highlight reel — just honest elk hunting from a guy who has spent the last six years grinding through some of the most demanding country in the West. Brandon didn't grow up with a silver spoon handed to him in the elk woods. His dad lost the fire for hunting after wolves moved into North Idaho and wrecked what used to be some of the best big game hunting in the country. So Brandon had to figure it out himself, and that journey is exactly what makes this conversation so good. From his very first elk hunt — where his cousin smoked a bull that basically walked up to a truck parked in the middle of the road — to going toe-to-toe with grizzly bears, packs of wolves, and rutting bull moose in the same drainage, this guy has seen it all. Six-plus years in, Brandon still hasn't notched his tag, but don't let that fool you. This dude is FINDING elk — like, legitimately locating 20-plus bulls in a single season. The problem he keeps running into is the same one that trips up a ton of DIY hunters: closing the deal. We dig deep into that in this episode, and I think a lot of you guys are going to hear yourselves in Brandon's story. We talk about the mental side of solo hunting, what it really means to "be in striking distance," how to work a bull when your setup goes sideways, the art of building a bull's ego so he's absolutely fired up the next morning, and why sometimes the laziest move IS the right move. We also get into the very real challenges of elk hunting in grizzly and wolf country, the predator management problem that nobody in power wants to touch, and what it's like to be solo in the woods surrounded by apex predators that don't have a healthy fear of humans anymore. This is one of those conversations that reminds you why we love this thing so damn much — even when it's hard. Maybe especially when it's hard.This Episode's Sponsors TricerIf you're not running Tricer gear in the field, you're leaving performance on the table.

Stop Trying to Kill the Elk — Start Trying to Stay Close to ItOne of the most useful mindset shifts in this episode: instead of putting the pressure of "I need to kill this elk tonight" on every single move, just focus on getting into striking distance and staying there. Elk hunting rarely goes according to the exact plan, but things tend to happen when you're consistently close. Measure your days by time spent within range of elk, not by whether a shot materialized. This single reframe takes the anxiety out of solo hunting and keeps you in the game longer.2. Let Curiosity Kill the Cat — Silence Is a WeaponWhen a bull hangs up and won't commit, most hunters feel compelled to keep calling. Big mistake. A quiet elk is a suspicious elk — a quiet *location* is a curious elk. When you go dark after a bull responds, you're not losing the conversation, you're winning it. He'll start wondering where you went, and that curiosity will often pull him toward you. Learn to sit on your hands, let the shot clock run a little, and only break the silence if you truly feel him losing interest. When you do break it, try raking over calling — it's less demanding and gives you the chance to move.3. The Decision Fatigue Problem Is Real — Have a Plan and Commit to ItBeing physically tough enough to elk hunt is table stakes. The thing that actually determines success — especially for solo hunters — is the mental discipline to stick to a plan when everything is going sideways. It's easy to leave a drainage after a tough morning and convince yourself the elk blew out. It's harder to say "I committed to this spot for two days and I'm seeing it through." The hunters who string together good at-bats aren't necessarily the ones who work the hardest — they're the ones who make fewer panic decisions and have the confidence (sometimes fake confidence) to stay the course when doubt creeps in.

In this episode Eric chats with MLB veteran and hitting coach Sean Casey. They speak to the mental side of the game and how hitting in the big leagues has evolved.

There's a particular kind of restlessness that hits a hunter in the off-season. It's not impatience exactly. It's more like a low hum in the background of everything you do. You're mowing the lawn, you're half-present at dinner, but somewhere in the back of your mind you're replaying last season's misses and mentally walking new ground you haven't set foot on yet. That's where K.C. and I found ourselves in this episode, and honestly, it's where I think most serious hunters live from February through August. We got into the anticipation of a new season and that electric feeling of scouting fresh country you've never hunted before. There's something almost spiritual about standing in a new piece of woods with a stick bow on your shoulder and nothing but questions in front of you. Ground hunting with a trad setup doesn't leave you a lot of margin. It demands that you close the distance in a way that most hunters never have to think about, and that changes everything. How you move, how you think, how you manage the inevitable doubt that creeps in when the woods go quiet. Because here's what K.C. and I kept coming back to: doubt is part of the deal. Despair shows up on long trips. There are mornings you climb out of your sleeping bag wondering why you drove eight hours for this. The hunters who kill consistently aren't the ones who never feel that. They're the ones who've learned to respect the feeling, sit with it, and keep putting one boot in front of the other. We talked about the mental side of all of it. Confidence, visualization, the kind of self-awareness that only comes from time in the field and honest reflection. The best hunters I know treat the mental game the same way an athlete does. You prepare for failure as much as success, and you build systems that hold up when emotion wants to take the wheel. We also got into deer behavior, being in the right place at the right time, and how skills from completely different disciplines can transfer into better hunting. That last part is something I think gets overlooked constantly. If you've ever walked back to the truck empty-handed and wondered what you're missing, this one's for you. Pull it up on the drive to work. It might not give you all the answers, but it'll remind you you're asking the right questions.
