Listen Later

Games rarely go as planned. Momentum swings. Emotions rise. Chaos shows up.

In this episode, mental performance coach Steve Pinkston explains how the best leaders — captains, quarterbacks, point guards, and vocal competitors — use 3 Keys to Keeping It Simple to steady themselves and their team when everything feels out of control.

Today’s Action Step: 

1️⃣ Choose 3 Keys that stabilize the team

Not stats. Not strategy.
Energy. Presence. Response.

2️⃣ Live them visibly

Your keys must be seen, not explained.

3️⃣ Return to them when emotions spike

That’s when leadership matters most.
