On this week’s episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with elite performance coach Chase Jackson, founder of Wired to Win, for a fascinating conversation about what truly separates good athletes from great ones.
While most performance programs focus on strength and conditioning, Chase believes the real advantage begins somewhere else: the nervous system.
Drawing from his work with elite athletes and high performers, Chase explains why optimizing the brain, feet, breathing patterns, hormones, and identity may unlock levels of athletic performance most coaches never address.
The conversation explores:
- Why elite athletes often train the wrong things
- The surprising role your toes play in speed, balance, and power
- Engineering identity for peak performance
- Breathwork and nervous system regulation
- Why confidence can be trained
- Building resilience under pressure
- Recovery, sleep, and high-performance habits
- Why mindset without physiology isn’t enough
Whether you’re an elite athlete, weekend warrior, coach, or simply looking to perform better in everyday life, this episode offers practical insights into becoming “wired to win.”
