The Mindset Minute

Why Gratitude Makes You Play Better


Listen Later

🎙️ Some athletes step onto historic fields and never pause to notice where they are. In today’s Mindset Minute, Tyler Ganus unpacks the power of gratitude and perspective when competing on sacred ground.

Gratitude isn’t soft—it’s strength. It roots you in the moment, connects you to your “why,” and frees you from the weight of ego and pressure. The scoreboard matters, but so does realizing you’re living out someone else’s dream—that you getto do this.

And here’s the bonus: when you compete from gratitude, you usually perform better. You play freer, looser, more grounded—because you’re driven by love, not fear.

Takeaway: Before your next game or practice, take a deep breath and whisper, thank you.
