The Mindset U Playbook
The Mindset U Playbook isn’t about baseball.
Baseball is just the entry point.
This is about building a person who can actually carry pressure, handle reality, and perform when it matters. On the field, in business, and in life.
Every episode breaks down what most people avoid.
Discipline. Standards. Emotional control. Decision-making under pressure.
Not the highlight reel. The stuff that determines who you become when nobody’s watching.
We get into the real gap.
The one between what you know and what you actually do.
Because talent isn’t the separator. Behaviour is.
And you won’t just hear it from me.
We bring in athletes, coaches, doctors, and high performers who are in it, not talking about it.
People doing real work, dealing with real pressure, making real decisions.
No theory for the sake of sounding smart.
Just lived experience, hard lessons, and what actually holds up when things get difficult.
This is for athletes, parents, coaches, and anyone who knows they’re capable of more but keeps hitting the same ceiling.
No hype. No shortcuts.
Just a system for showing up properly, consistently, across every area of your life.
Because what you do off the field isn’t separate.
It’s the whole game.

In this conversation, Gary Dhillon and Curtis Pelletier explore the concept of identity, discussing how it is shaped by self-talk, environment, and social media. They emphasize the importance of authenticity over the facade of 'faking it till you make it.' The discussion also touches on the impact of parenthood on identity, the role of positive reinforcement, and the potential for individuals to redefine their identities at any point in their lives.
