In this episode, we dive deep into the common mental challenges high-performance athletes face, particularly basketball players, when dealing with fear on the court. Jon shares a powerful tool to help athletes recognize and break free from unhelpful patterns like fear of failure, perfectionism, overthinking, and more. By bringing awareness to these patterns, athletes can build unshakable confidence and start playing free. This episode introduces concepts like shadow work and inner child work to empower players to take control of their mental game and shift from reactive to proactive in high-pressure situations.
