    Athlete Stress, Peaking Early, & The Unconscious Chase

    In this episode of The CEP Mindset Show, Cassidy, Nick, and Adam share why eliminating stress shouldn't be the goal for athletes - and why trying to get rid of stress too quickly leads to burn out. The episode covers the difference between distress and eustress, why the better you get the more challenging the journey becomes, and what it actually means to build versus chase when everything's on the line. Nick previews his upcoming book Now or Never and shares why the athletes who wait until the end of the runway to start their mindset work are already behind.

    Perfect Mindset Trap, Fear of Losing Success, & Authoring Your Story

    In this episode of The CEP Mindset Show, Cassidy, Nick, and Adam dive into the Survive Land vs. Thrive Land framework, why fear of losing success hits different than fear of failure, the river you have to cross to get to the next level, and why tending to your lead is more important than protecting it. They also cover why striving for the perfect mindset is actually a trap — and the legendary sports psych who hung up on his All-Star pitcher to prove it.

    Complete Acceptance, Finding Your Ratio, & Looking Beyond the Results

    In this episode of the CEP Mindset Show, Cassidy, Nick, and Adam pull back the curtain on what actually separates athletes who compete freely from those who play not to lose - and it starts before the game even begins. The episode covers the pre-acceptance framework every athlete needs in their pre-game routine (and the '300' scene that explains why), the difference between being at odds with something versus in active conflict with it, why the words "good," "bad," "positive," and "negative" might be the most dangerous words in an athlete's vocabulary, and the natural tendency every athlete has toward either overcorrecting or undercorrecting.
