You got what you were working for. The promotion. The championship. The recognition. And then it hits you — the feeling you didn’t expect. Emptiness.

In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when the achievement doesn’t land the way you thought it would. I share how I felt after winning a gold medal, the pressure I carried for years, and why success without healing won’t create peace.

This isn’t about giving up on goals. It’s about asking better questions and learning how to define success in a way that actually feels right.

In this episode:

• The real reason some wins feel empty

• Why self-worth can’t depend on performance

• How I reconnected with purpose after burnout

• Mindset tools for clarity, healing, and growth

In this episode of The Champion’s Mind, I’m taking you back to my first Olympic Games. The nerves, the spotlight, and what I did to stay focused when everything around me was intense.

I’ll walk you through the exact mindset tools I used to perform under pressure, including how I used breathwork, visualization, and reframing to stay present on the court. These same tools can help you stay grounded in high-stakes moments in your own life.

Whether you're preparing for something big, feeling overwhelmed, or just trying to show up at your best when it counts, this episode will help you get there.

Because pressure isn’t the problem. It’s how you meet it.
