Have you ever wanted something so big that it scared you? Maybe your dreams feel exciting and terrifying at the same time. Every athlete, at some point, faces that moment where fear and possibility collide.
In this week’s episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I talk with Team USA skeleton racer Andy Whittier about what it really means to become fearless. Andy is in the run up to the Winter Olympics, chasing huge goals while training his mind as hard as his body.
He shares his journey from college football player to elite skeleton athlete, racing headfirst down icy tracks at almost 90 miles per hour. We talk about how he uses visualization, trust, and mental training to stay calm when every instinct tells him to hit the brakes.
Andy’s story is a reminder that fear is not something to get rid of but something to work with. True confidence comes from preparation, focus, and the courage to keep going even when your brain says stop.
In this episode, you will hear
• How Andy went from college football to Team USA skeleton racing
• What becoming fearless really looks like in action
• How visualization helps him perform under pressure
• The mental skills that keep him steady in high-stakes moments
"Run, let it run, because we have to push our sled, right? So I just run, let it run. Two, relax and trust it, and everything's going to be okay. And just those two reminders at the beginning of a race really just calm me down." - Andy Whittier
