There was a period in my college career where I was doing everything “right.”

I trained hard. I was prepared. I knew what I needed to do.

But I hadn’t trained my response. So when pressure hit, I tightened. More thinking, more forcing, less freedom.

Looking back, I can see how much the environment shaped what I prioritised. Emotional regulation wasn’t one of those things.

I’ve written more about coaching, pressure and what the environments we create are really training our athletes for.

When a coach feels unpredictable or harsh, it’s going to affect you.

The mistake isn’t in feeling it.
The mistake is handing it your power.

Letting their reaction decide your mood.
Your confidence.
Your identity.

They might not change. That's out of your control.

But every time you spiral, play small, or stay stuck in the emotion, you give them more influence than they deserve.

The work isn’t pretending it doesn’t bother you, or beating yourself up when it does.

The work is noticing when it starts to run you and choosing to lead yourself instead.

Where are you giving your power away right now?

Most athletes are taught how to train their body.

Very few are taught how to train their mind.

So when confidence drops, when pressure rises, or when mistakes happen, they try to figure it out alone.

The EA Squad Program exists to give athletes a space to do that work.

Across six months of group and individual mindset sessions, athletes learn how their mind works. They learn how to respond instead of react. They build confidence that isn’t dependent on outcomes, and skills they can rely on no matter what is happening around them.

This work changes how athletes experience sport.

Registration for the next EA Squad intake is now open.

If your confidence disappears when you miss, it's been coming from the wrong place.

Athletes feel confident when they’re making shots.
And they question themselves when they’re not.

But makes and misses are outcomes, and outcomes move constantly.

If your confidence is built on something that fluctuates, it will fluctuate with it.
That’s exhausting.

Confidence needs to sit somewhere more stable. On the things that are with you no matter what.
Things like your preparation, effort, decision making, and attitude.

In that space, you can miss and still trust your skill.
You can miss and still be steady.

What is your confidence attached to right now?

We don’t need certainty to perform well.
We need the ability to stay present and respond when things aren’t clear.

And this is something you can train, just like any other skill in your sport.

I’ve written more about this in a new article, exploring how our relationship with not knowing can shape pressure, performance, and identity.

When performance start to slip, most people add more thinking, more instructions.

But often what’s actually missing is feel.

This came up in a session this week with an athlete struggling with their shot.
They hadn't suddenly lost the ability to shoot.
But the shot became forced and disconnected as they tried to fix it over and over again.

The shift was simply coming back to the feel of the shot.
Connecting to the rhythm.
Settling into the timing.
Paying attention to how the shot felt in their body, instead of trying to control it.

Sometimes the work isn’t doing more.
It’s getting out of your head and letting your body do what you've trained it to do.

Uncertainty is part of sport.
And a lot of pressure comes from trying to get rid of it.

This carousel explores what happens when we stop forcing certainty and learn to sit with not knowing.

It’s uncomfortable at first, I know.
But it can change how we experience pressure, performance, and ourselves.

So if uncertainty has been feeling loud lately, this might be worth a swipe 🫶

This article came from noticing how much energy we spend trying to control outcomes that aren’t available yet, and how that search for certainty can pull us out of the present moment.

It explores a different mindset instead. One that doesn’t rush to resolve uncertainty, but learns to sit with it, letting go of needing answers so attention can come back to what actually matters right now.

If you’ve ever felt the tension of not knowing, athlete or not, then I hope this offers a different perspective.

I'd love to hear your thoughts 🫶

Uncertainty shows up in every athlete’s life.
From selection to performance, roles, and outcomes.

The instinct is to chase certainty.
But pressure often comes from trying to control what isn’t actually available to control.

This week’s session note is about the idea of "maybe".
Maybe I'll be selected, maybe I won't. Either way, I'll train to my standard.

Maybe isn't about lowering standards, or not caring less.
It creates space to stay present.
Space to respond instead of react.
And space to stop tying your worth to outcomes you don’t control.

Sometimes the most helpful mindset isn’t confidence or certainty.
It’s being okay with not knowing.

What could you let be a “maybe” right now?

We can’t keep expecting performance if we’re not supporting mental development.

Athletes are navigating pressure, expectation, self-doubt, and identity every day, often without much guidance for how to carry it.

This week's article reflects on what happens when the mental side of sport is left to chance, and why the cost falls on athletes.

If you’re a parent, coach or sporting organisation, it’s an invitation to pause and consider how mindset is currently being supported in your environment.

Athletes often think anger gives them an edge.
Sometimes it does. Until it starts making decisions for them.

This is the difference between using emotion and being used by it.

Who’s choosing your next action — you or the emotion?

21/01/2026

Mindset support is still treated as an optional extra in sport.

Something you bring in when things get tough, when performance dips, or when an athlete is struggling.

But athletes don’t experience their inner world as an add-on.
Pressure, self-doubt, comparison, expectation, fear of mistakes, handling scrutiny.
This is their daily reality.

So the question isn’t whether mindset matters.
It’s whether sport is ready to move beyond a model where mental skills are left to hope, personality, or chance.

I wrote more about why mindset can’t stay optional in this week’s article.
