In this interview with AZ Family, I spoke about the reality of performance pressure during March Madness.

These athletes are not just competitors. They are students navigating academics, expectations, identity, and visibility all at once.

The defining moment may happen on the court, but performance is not created there. It is built through the hours of preparation that came before it.

When the pressure rises, the most effective thing an athlete can do is return to what they know. Stay anchored to routines and trust the work that led to the moment.

For parents and spectators, the goal is not to add pressure but to create stability. Ask how they are doing, not how they performed.

Wins and losses will always be visible. What matters most is how the athlete processes the moment and moves forward.

What a day yesterday!

After filming a very special podcast episode (more on that soon…), I went downtown to speak at the NCAA’s Beyond the Baseline event at Tourney Town.

What an honor to speak with the Mayor of Phoenix, as well as Amanda Phillips, VP of Performance at on women in high-performing environments.

It was such a great discussion and the audience was so engaged. Thank you for moderating the conversation!

Before I took the stage for the women and high-performance panel discussion, we explored Tourney Town at the in Phoenix!

Turns out, I was meant to optimize performance, not demonstrate it 🏀

Thanks ESPN for helping to confirm my role on the mental side of the game 😂

If you’re in Phoenix, check out the convention center this weekend and all of the family-friendly activations that are happening downtown!

After a full day in the office, I headed down to to chat with and unpack the real pressures student-athletes carry into moments like March Madness.

Behind the performance is a level of mental demand most people never see: expectation, identity, and the weight of the moment.

I’m looking forward to speaking at Beyond the Baseline tomorrow at the with some high-performing women talking about how we can sustain performance while optimizing well-being.

This Monday, I’m teaming up with Coach Molly Miller to discuss the role of mental health in elite athletic performance.

The conversation will focus on the emotional and physical demands athletes face and why mental fitness must be trained with the same structure and intention as physical performance.

We will also highlight the role of coaches in shaping performance environments. When coaches and mental health professionals are aligned, teams become more resilient, adaptable, and prepared to perform under pressure.

We’ll be sharing more about our upcoming event ahead of the Suns v. Rockets game on April 7th at Mortgage Matchup Center. We’re bringing these conversations about mental health and performance directly into a live game day environment.

One week from today, I’ll be joining the Women & High Performance panel at the NCAA Women’s Final Four as part of Beyond the Baseline.

I’ll be in conversation with Amanda Phillips, President of Performance at EXOS, and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, moderated by Rushia Brown, bringing together perspectives across sport, business, and public leadership.

This discussion will focus on how high performance is sustained across disciplines, not just achieved. What it requires behind the scenes. The habits, systems, and environments that support clarity, resilience, and decision-making under pressure.

We’ll also examine the role of mental health, recovery, and structure in long-term performance, and how leadership continues to evolve in high-performance spaces.

Performance Principle: Sustained performance is built through structure. Not just intensity.

📍 Phoenix Convention Center, North Building
🗓 April 2 | 1:30–2:30 PM
🎟 Open to the public

During Super Bowl Week, mental health was no longer a side conversation.

It was part of the main stage…across events, panels, and media spaces.
From the Brain Health Summit at the Lee Steinberg Super Bowl party, to NFLPA’s Be Well event, to conversations across Radio Row, mental performance and well-being were being discussed alongside physical performance.

Not as an afterthought. But rather, as part of how performance is understood.
Athletes are no longer being viewed only through a physical lens, but as individuals managing pressure, leadership demands, and long-term sustainability across their careers.

What was once a week centered almost entirely on physical performance is evolving.
Mental health is now part of the conversation around longevity, decision-making, and life beyond sport.

This is what integration looks like.

and Six Stops Entertainment did something different last night.

They didn’t host an event. They curated a masterclass in how elite performers think.

In a conversation with Spencer, we unpacked something most people miss:

The mindset that makes someone great on the court is often the same mindset that makes them exceptional in investing.

That looks like not waiting for certainty, but acting with conviction.

Because in both games, you’re never given perfect information. The edge is being early and right enough.

You don’t chase hype. The best performers move on their internal clock, not the crowd’s.

You don’t bet on stories. You recognize patterns. Whether it’s studying film or evaluating a founder, it’s the same skill: identifying behaviors that repeat over time.

You don’t fear losses. A bad outcome doesn’t always mean a bad decision. The real discipline is knowing the difference.

The arena may look different...basketball vs. investing. But the psychology of high performance doesn’t.

It’s transferable.
