🎙️ How Athletes Deliver Under Pressure — MindSets Podcast Ep. 57

This week on The MindSets Podcast, Angus and Charles dive deep into how elite performers step up when the stakes are highest. From Augusta greens to East African valleys, this episode explores what it takes to deliver when it matters most.

🧠 Mental Topic:

Rory McIlroy finally wins The Masters. But it wasn’t easy—almost blowing it before pulling off one of the strongest performances of his career. We break down what it takes to mentally hold your nerve under pressure and turn past pain into power.

💢 Grind My Gears:

Angus is back with multiple mini-rants, and Charles reveals his biggest personality ick that most people never notice - but once you do, you can’t unsee it.

🏃‍♂️ Physical Topic:

We discuss the secret training methods of elite marathon runners training in the hills and valleys of East Africa. Is there more to their dominance than altitude and mileage? What else could they be doing?

📉 Bonus Segment:

Angus shares a full Hyrox Barcelona Race Debrief - from pacing and sleds to the lessons learned. Charles challenges him with tough questions and takeaways for any athlete trying to level up in any competition.

🎲 ROXD Game Time:
