What if the difference between good and great isn’t talent… but the way you think?

In this episode of Becoming Uncommon, I sit down with mental performance coach Jake Lee, founder of Inner Edge Performance, to unpack a truth every coach, parent, and athlete needs to hear:

Jake earned his Master’s in Sport & Exercise Psychology from California State University, Long Beach, and for over seven years has helped athletes—from youth to pros—build confidence, resilience, emotional control, and consistency under pressure. His systems aren’t theory. They’re practical, personalized, and designed for real competitors in real moments.

We talk about:

• Why athletes “fight their mind” during competition
• The difference between mental toughness and mental training
• How Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Mentality influenced Jake’s career
• What coaches and parents often do (unknowingly) that hurts confidence
• How to build athletes who trust themselves when the pressure is highest
• The mental systems that actually transfer to performance

If you’re a coach trying to help athletes perform with freedom…
 If you’re a parent who wants to build confidence without adding pressure…
 If you’re an athlete chasing consistency in big moments…

This conversation is your blueprint.
