    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.

    A New Way for Athletes, Coaches, and Parents to Approach Sports & Life

    As part of a high-performing team you want to collaborate, support each other, and be a team player… but in the same breath, you also want to hit your numbers, earn your bonus, and chase down your next promotion. You try to be 'positive' but the projects, responsibilities, and requests keep piling up. And you try to be a team player but the gnawing feeling of your personal goals, results, and targets weigh on your shoulders. The default approach is to set goals, create priorities lists, and do your best to finesse your way through the company hierarchy. Unfortunately, this can foster a lack of communication, a self-serving culture, and stressful work environment. We've all heard the clichés like 'suck it up,' 'grind it out' and 'be a team player' — which can help you get short-term results. But, this approach is not sustainable nor optimal. Maybe it's time to flip our approach. Instead of focusing all of our energy on what we want to achieve, we need to prioritize who we want to be and how we want to show up. By 'slowing down' and gaining clarity on your inner world, you get grounded, centered, and ready to tackle the outer world. This approach is how you optimize your individual performance as well as maximize your impact as a leader and a team player. It allows you to flip the switch from 'what can I get from my company?' To, 'what can I do for my company today?' In this insightful and interactive 60 min session, Dr. Cassidy Preston pulls back the curtain and shares the principles and strategies he uses when coaching professional athletes, surgeons, hedge fund managers, and CEO's to show up at their best day-in and day-out. You will learn how professional athletes break free from the weight of results, perform when it matters most, and be a team player. You will learn how leaders and CEOs build trust, resolve conflict, and create accountability in high stakes environments. What about surgeons… Have you ever wondered how they handle the pressures of a life or death surgery? Or how they respond and interact with their team when unforeseen complications and adversities arise? Here's a clue — they challenge the status quo and think differently about success and failure. It's time for you to flip the switch and train your brain like a professional athlete.
