🎙️ Most athletes rely on motivation or external expectations to decide how hard to go. In this episode, Tyler explains why elite athletes operate differently—they let identity set the standard. When identity is clear, effort, focus, and preparation aren’t debated; they’re automatic. Identity becomes the filter for every decision, especially when no one is watching. The moment an athlete stops protecting who they believe they are, standards quietly slip. The strongest competitors don’t chase expectations—they defend their identity daily.

Takeaway: Your identity determines your standards. Protect it, and discipline follows.
