In this episode of The X Factor: Level Up Your Mental Game, we dive into the power of letting go and how perfectionism can actually sabotage your performance. Host Brian Martin breaks down a powerful lesson from Marquette Men’s Basketball Coach Shaka Smart, who reminded his team in a high-pressure moment to relax, tell a joke, and stop taking themselves so seriously.

When we get caught up in the fear of making mistakes, we tighten up, hesitate, and underperform. But the secret to playing at your highest level? Loosening your grip, embracing the moment, and allowing yourself the freedom to grow.

Tune in to learn how to shift your mindset, release the pressure, and step into any arena with confidence and clarity.
