    Mindset, Matchups & Momentum | Wrestling Champ, Water Polo Futures & Mental Grit

    Episode 2 of GOLS Highlights, presented by Mental Grit, brings together championship performance, deep sport insight, and elite mindset training. We start with Hayden Ancheta, fresh off winning the 125-lb SF Conference Championship, as he breaks down his postseason mindset, international wrestling journey, and what it takes to prepare for regionals and nationals. From self-talk to dominating when it matters most, Hayden shares what separates good competitors from great ones. Next, Joel Francisco delivers one of the most detailed breakdowns you’ll find anywhere on 16U water polo futures, including San Diego Shores, Newport, La Jolla United, Cap Seven, NorCal powerhouses, and how shifting rosters could impact Super Finals and JO’s. If you care about club water polo, recruiting trends, or future standouts—this segment is a must-watch. We wrap with Nate Last, founder of Mental Grit, diving deep into the mental side of performance. From pain management to self-talk, mindset scripts, and learning how to talk to yourself instead of listening to yourself, Nate gives practical tools every athlete can apply immediately. Whether you compete in wrestling, water polo, or any sport at all—this episode is about one thing: going and being great. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to GOLS Highlights (Presented by Mental Grit) 01:30 – Hayden Ancheta Wins the SF Conference Championship 04:55 – Preparing for Regionals & Nationals 07:35 – Mindset, Confidence & Self-Talk in Wrestling 12:15 – Why Conference Championships Matter 14:20 – International Wrestling & Olympic Goals 17:35 – Match Breakdown: Dominating the Finals 23:15 – Hayden’s Social Media & Wrestling Content 25:00 – Water Polo Futures Breakdown Begins 25:40 – San Diego Shores vs Newport Analysis 28:50 – La Jolla United & Roster Shifts 32:55 – Cap Seven, NorCal Powerhouses & Club Trends 36:45 – Super Finals, JO’s & National Team Impact 41:20 – USA Water Polo National League Overview 45:00 – Mental Grit Segment with Nate Last 46:10 – Pain, Performance & the Primal Brain 50:15 – Self-Talk vs Listening to Yourself 54:30 – How Athletes Build Powerful Mindset Scripts 59:00 – Practical Tools for Competing Under Pressure 1:02:05 – Final Message: Go Be Great
