Episode 2: Red, Blue, or Purple Brain?

In this episode of Set Your Mind, we explore the Red Brain–Blue Brain model popularized by Sir Graham Henry of the New Zealand All Blacks—and why it’s not the full story. Learn why the best performers don’t just escape emotion but integrate it with intention, creating what I call Purple Brain: the ability to feel, think, and act with focus under pressure.Discover practical strategies to notice your emotions, breathe, merge thinking and feeling, and stay present when it matters most—whether it’s a four-foot putt, a penalty shot, or a crucial free throw.Mindset isn’t something you have; it’s something you set.*Music Credit: “Kong” by Bonobo; Courtesy of Ninja Tune Records
