    #27 - Max Browne - Redefining Success after the Game

    In this episode of The Athlete’s Mindset, I’m joined by Max Browne, former five-star quarterback and current ESPN college football analyst, for an honest conversation about expectations, adversity, and life after football. Max takes us inside what it was really like being one of the most highly touted recruits in the country at USC, from the external hype to the internal pressure that came with it. He opens up about performance anxiety, identity struggles, and how sports psychology helped him navigate moments when the game didn’t go as planned. We also dive into Max’s decision to fully own the “bust” label, why embracing that narrative brought peace and clarity, and how that mindset helped him transition out of football and into broadcasting. From content creation and consistency to what actually makes a great quarterback, Max shares perspectives shaped by experience, reflection, and growth. This episode is a powerful reminder that success isn’t always linear and that owning your story, giving yourself grace, and enjoying the journey matter just as much as the results.
