What separates high performers from those who constantly feel stuck? It's not just physical ability — it's mental performance.

In this episode, I sit down with Marissa Estep, mental performance consultant and founder of Estep Performance Consulting, to break down what it actually means to train your mind like a muscle. With a background in psychology, behavior change, and elite coaching, Marissa shares the tools and strategies she uses with athletes, tactical professionals, and everyday high performers to build resilience, mental discipline, and clarity under pressure.

We dive into:

  • Why you can't outwork a bad mindset 
  • How to build true resilience (not just “positive thinking”)
  • What mental performance actually is — and why it matters
  • Tools to manage pressure, self-doubt, and inconsistency
  • How to improve mental toughness 

Whether you're an athlete, coach, or someone simply trying to stop sabotaging your progress, this episode will leave you with the clarity and tools to start leading from the inside out.
