Peak Performance Mindset with Megan Devito

Megan Devito

Peak Performance Mindset is for athletes, leaders, and high achievers who want to perform at their best, without burning out, overthinking, or losing themselves in the process. I'm Megan Devito, performance mindset coach, swim coach, and former "why am I like this?" overthinker. On this show, I bridge the mental skills I teach athletes in competition with the exact same tools I coach executives and high performers to use in business and life. Because pressure is pressure. Failure is failure. And your nervous system doesn't care whether you're stepping onto a starting block or into a boardroom. Each week, we talk about: Resilience after setbacksEmotional regulation under pressureConfidence that isn't dependent on outcomesFocus when the stakes feel highBoundaries that protect performanceLetting go of comparisonPerforming without spiraling This isn't hype. It's not toxic positivity. And it's definitely not "just think positive." It's practical mindset work that helps you compete, lead, and live at a higher level sustainably. If you're an athlete, parent of an athlete, executive, entrepreneur, or driven human who wants to handle pressure better and perform stronger, you're in the right place.

    Why You Choke Under Pressure | Performance Mindset

    Do you overthink when the stakes are highest, right when you need to perform your best? In this episode of Peak Performance Mindset, performance mindset coach Megan Devito teaches you a 3-minute mental reset to stop overthinking under pressure so you can compete, lead, and perform as your best self when it counts most. You’ll learn the three types of overthinkers (and which one you default to), the science behind why you overthink at exactly the wrong moment, and a step-by-step reset you can use before your next high-stakes performance; whether that’s a board meeting, a race, or a game that matters. Megan also shares a real story from her swim coaching - a freshman swimmer who changed her breath pattern mid-race at sectionals, what happened, and how she came back in her very next event after resetting her nervous system and trusting her training. If you’re an executive who overthinks before big decisions, an athlete dealing with performance anxiety, a teen athlete who gets in your own head, or a sports parent watching your kid struggle under pressure, this episode is for you.

You'll also learn to roll around in the feeling of gratitude, even for things you hated, because gratitude is a key to moving forward. 3. Evaluate what worked and what didn't (for YOU): Get Megan's step-by-step evaluation process, including creating lists of everything that worked (felt good, you were brave, you weren't anxious) and what didn't work, ensuring you only focus on your actions, not other people's mistakes. 🎁 Grab the End of the Year Assessment tool HERE.
