Don't Fear Deep Water

from The Inspired Athlete Hosted by Mike Brilla

Welcome to the Inspired Athlete podcast! In this episode, we're tackling one of the biggest hurdles holding athletes and performers back: the fear of failure and the safety net of "Plan B" . Drawing from a profound conversation with my 16-year-old son about going all-in on your passion, along with lessons from Iowa wrestling legend Brett Metcalf and Roger Bannister's historic four-minute mile, we explore why our brains default to comfort and how true belief requires action . Plus, I break down Lewis Howes' eight core focus areas for achieving your potential and living with zero regrets . Tune in to learn how to conquer self-doubt, step into deep water, and build a champion mindset !
