Mental Performance Playbook – Episode 117 | Deep Dive 64

Brought to you by The Athletes Health

In this episode of The Mental Performance Playbook, Gabe breaks down the exact routines he’d be using if he were back playing in high school — and the same ones he’s seen work or suggests to countless college athletes along the way.

You’ll learn a simple 3-step pregame framework pulled from top coaches, sports psychologists, and performance psychology research that will help you:

• Lock In → detach from distractions and step into your Titan mindset.

• Strike First → plan your first actions so you’re ready before the whistle.

• Release → let go, trust your training, and play free.

This system works for athletes at every level — from high school to the pros — and it’s designed to help you show up focused, confident, and ready to compete.

Use it. Share it with a teammate (maybe not an opponent). And stay tuned… because we’ve got big updates coming soon for The Athletes Health™.

(00:00) Introduction to Titan Mode

(02:43) Step One: Locking In with Music and Identity

(05:57) Step Two: Striking First with Visualization

(09:08) Step Three: Release Tension, Trust, Compete
