This episode is about how to deal with panic in high-pressure sports moments when your brain freezes, your body tenses, and critical thinking disappears. I share what I learned from visiting the ex-Brown fencing coach’s club, including how the constraint-led approach (CLA) helps train your mind to handle stress. I also talk about a mindset from The Way of the Samurai—fighting like you’ve already died—and a simple breathing technique to regain focus when everything starts to spiral.
