Today we're tackling one of the most important parts of performance recovery. Here's the truth. According to the American Psychological Association, over 70% of adults report chronic stress. That's seven out of ten people running on fumes, not fuel. Whether you're an athlete, executive or entrepreneur, being stuck in the go mode burns out your body, focus and drive. But here's the good news. Recovery isn't about slowing down. It's about coming back stronger. Today, we'll break down ten mind-body recovery tools, each backed by science, and show you how and when to use them to perform at your peak.   Websites: https://agamecoach.com/ https://www.stevengriffith.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@22441griff Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevengriffithauthor Guided Meditation: https://bit.ly/3B91DHi The Time Cleanse: https://amzn.to/3OvXsse Websites: https://agamecoach.com/ https://www.stevengriffith.com/  

Today we're tackling one of the most important concepts for high performance. It's confidence. The key to performing at your best. Whether you're an athlete, artist, executive or entrepreneur, it's that elusive quality everyone wants more of. No matter how much you have or don't have. It's the belief that propels you forward when doubt creeps in. But where does it come from and how can you build it? On this episode, we'll define confidence, explore where it comes from, and share seven science back steps to develop it with real world examples and actionable tools you can use immediately.   Websites: https://agamecoach.com/ https://www.stevengriffith.com/ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@UCLTV3AiwiYj8rMT0e_MfhfA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevengriffithauthor Guided Meditation: https://bit.ly/3B91DHi The Time Cleanse: https://amzn.to/3OvXsse

In this episode of the A-Game Podcast, host Steven Griffith dives into the art and science of giving and receiving feedback to supercharge performance. Feedback is the key to growth in business, relationships, sports, and personal development, yet most struggle with it due to outdated approaches and emotional triggers. Steven breaks down why feedback feels threatening—exploring the amygdala's fight-or-flight response, ego protection, and negativity bias—and shares science-backed tools to transform it into a growth tool. Learn how to receive feedback with a growth mindset using techniques like the 4-7-8 breathing method, asking clarifying questions, and practicing self-compassion. On the giving side, discover the SBI Model, the Feedback Sandwich, and the 5:1 positive-to-negative ratio to deliver clear, motivating feedback that fosters trust and improves performance. Whether you're a parent, coach, executive, or teammate, Steven's practical strategies—rooted in his experience coaching thousands—will help you master feedback to elevate performance and relationships. A good exercise is to take two short quizzes on how well you give and receive feedback.
