Episode 3 of Inside The Genesis, where we don’t just break down the game—we decode the mindset behind it. This week, your co-hosts GG Carr and Brian Garland go deep into the conversation most officials avoid but all of us live with: the one happening inside your own head.

Whether you're in the middle of a big camp game, recovering from a controversial whistle, or just trying to stay mentally sharp this offseason—this episode is for every official who’s ever wrestled with doubt, silence, or spiraling thoughts mid-game.

Brian and GG open with a real talk reflection on excellence as a habit, and remind us that offseason is not time off—it’s time invested. From there, they jump into the episode’s core: chatter vs. self-talk, and how the difference between the two can determine everything from your emotional control to your next assignment.

Before you change your shoes or your whistle, change your voice. Because the real game starts before the ball goes up. If you control the conversation inside—you will dominate the game outside.
