He reflects on why so many high performers feel trapped inside narrow definitions of success, and how small shifts in our habits and environments can open the door to creativity and freedom.Together we explore the science of motor learning, why our minds crave variation, and how small moments of trying something new can expand our capacity. We also discuss burnout, the role of therapy, and the importance of having people who help us notice what we can't always see in ourselves.
In today's episode, Dr. Cindra is joined by Dr. Karen MacNeill — former Team Canada athlete and world-renowned mental performance consultant who has supported Olympians, executives, and high-pressure teams across multiple Olympic Games.

She and Cindra discuss practical, in-the-moment resets to stay grounded under pressure, the most common thinking traps before big moments, and the habits that transfer from sport to business… plus the ones that don't. You'll walk away with simple and powerful strategies to settle your mind, disrupt unhelpful thinking, and perform with intention when it counts — whether you're on the field, in the arena, or in the boardroom.

I loved this conversation with Danny Donachie. Danny for a long time was head of medical services at Everton Football Club, but now works one-to-one coaching with players and managers. We talk about Danny's approach in helping players' mental approach to the game - including visualisation, meditation and switching off social media. Connected to this we talked about how lonely being a player and manager can be - and how, inadvertently, sports science (by ending drinking/socialising culture etc) had reduced connection. We discuss Danny's reflections on former Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti and current boss David Moyes and also his experience of Newcastle star Anthony Gordon's mental strength. We talk about Danny's father, Willie, a professional footballer and how he opened Danny's eyes to ‘alternative' methods of self development. A lot of ground covered here and a lot of insight into professional football. But also I believe some important notes on how we can all make improve our mental experience of life, find the joy in what we do, and perform better (if that's our goal). What do you think about this one? How do you manage the opinions of others? Follow Danny here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannydonachie/

Riley Jensen is the lead Mental Performance Coach at Weber State University Athletics. He has coached and trained professional, college, and high school athletes as well as corporate clients from companies such as Microsoft and the Utah Jazz. In this episode we discuss the following: If we're thinking about coulda shoulda wouldas, we're in the past. If we're thinking about what ifs, we're in the future. But to help us be where our feet are, we can think about 3 things we see, 2 things we hear, and 1 thing we feel. Then add in a deep, diaphragmatic breath and we'll reset and get our minds into the moment. When Riley didn't think he could make it through another 60 days of caring for his sick daughter, his mom asked him, “Can you make it through tomorrow.” Greatness is achieved one day at a time, one rep at a time. And if we're worried we can't make it through one day, can we make it until lunch, or even just through the next ten minutes. It's never as bad as it seems, and it's never as good as it gets.

#70 [Inside the Mind] Jody Martins: Progress versus Perfection, Reframing Failure, and Staying Focused Amid Countelss Distractions Today, I'm joined by Mental Performance Coach and Host of The Performance Formula Podcast, Jody Martins. In today's episode, you'll learn: How to create a meaningful morning routine that sets the tone for your day. Why copying someone else's routine—like Tiger or Bryson—isn't the answer. The difference between striving for progress vs. striving for perfection. Practical strategies to break free from negative self-talk during a round. The power of mindfulness and micro-moments to re-center your focus. How to reframe failure as feedback and an essential step toward mastery. How to develop a "smart bomb" focus to stay on track amid external distractions. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Jody From the earliest days as a coach, Jody has had a deep fascination with performance. His coaching journey started as a cricket coach and very early on he realised that performance is not just about having good skills and fitness. He learned that the mind (thought and feelings) or rather lack of mind during performance is a far greater indicator of performance. Now he partners with athletes who want to understand themselves and in doing so, design and build the lifestyle and processes that allow them to show up as their best consistently. www.jodymartins.co @realjodymartins @performanceformulapodcast Play to Your Potential On (and Off) the Course Schedule a Mindset Coaching Discovery Call Subscribe to the More Pars than Bogeys Newsletter Download my “Play Your Best Round” free hypnosis audio recording.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Anchor Your Routine in Purpose: A morning routine becomes easy to maintain when it's meaningful. Connect your habits to your long-term goals, like improving focus or building resilience. Perfection Is the Enemy of Growth: Instead of aiming for perfection, aim for consistent improvement. Learn from your mistakes rather than fearing them. Fail Beautifully, Learn Relentlessly: View failure as feedback. Each missed shot or poor round holds valuable lessons if you're willing to reflect. Redirect Your Focus with the W.I.N. Acronym: When distractions arise, ask yourself: "What's Important Next?" This helps you stay grounded and present for your next shot. Self-Awareness Builds Confidence: Notice negative self-talk and consciously shift to neutral or positive thinking. Practicing mindfulness helps you catch and redirect unhelpful thoughts. Choose Your Experience on the Course: Decide how you want to feel during your round—calm, focused, or joyful—and set the intention to create that experience, regardless of your score. Small Moments of Stillness Lead to Big Changes: Incorporate micro-moments of stillness—like focusing on your breath or tuning into the sound of the wind—to reset your mind and stay present. Key Quotes: "Routine becomes easier when it's tied to something bigger than yourself." "Perfectionism breeds mediocrity. Progress is the real pursuit." "The inner game drives the outer game." "Choose the experience you want to have before you step onto the course." "Failure isn't final—it's feedback." "Self-awareness is like upgrading your smart bomb—it improves your accuracy in life." "Neutrality in your thoughts helps you build positive momentum over time."
