Ep 313 The Reset Mindset — Recover Faster After Mistakes

Mistakes are inevitable. Staying stuck in them is optional. In this episode of Today Matters, Coach Steve Pinkston explores one of the defining characteristics of elite performers: the ability to reset quickly after setbacks. Whether it's a missed shot, a turnover, a poor test grade, a difficult conversation, or a disappointing performance, the difference between average and exceptional isn't avoiding mistakes—it's recovering from them faster. You'll learn why one mistake often becomes many, how your brain responds to failure under pressure, and practical strategies to interrupt the downward spiral before it gains momentum. Discover how to develop a "Next Play" mentality, build a personal reset routine, and turn every setback into an opportunity for growth. Because champions aren't the people who never fall—they're the ones who get back up the fastest. Today’s Action Step:  Step One - Practice resetting during practice—not just competition. Step Two - Create your personal reset cue. Step Three - End every day with two questions. "What did I do well today?" "What did I learn today?"
