Episode 4 — Rebuilding Focus (Properly)
Season 2 · Week 4 of the 10-Week Cognitive Athlete Training Cycle

If your focus feels off lately, you’re not broken — you’re normal.

In this episode, Clint explains why focus doesn’t magically return just because you’ve slowed down. After long periods of pressure and cognitive load, your brain adapts by scanning and reacting instead of concentrating deeply.

The good news?
Focus isn’t a personality trait. It’s a trainable skill.

This week in the 10-week cycle, we rebuild depth — not by forcing longer hours or relying on caffeine — but by practising short, clean windows of deliberate attention.

You’ll learn:

  • Why sustained pressure fragments attention

  • Why structure comes before focus

  • The difference between depth and duration

  • A simple 3-step focus training method you can implement today

This isn’t about productivity hacks.
It’s about retraining your cognitive system step by step.

Focus isn’t something you find.
It’s something you train.
