EQ-OS: The Mindset U Playbook
The Mindset U Playbook is powered by EQ-OS: The Baseball Operating System.
Baseball is the entry point.
The real conversation is about the operating system behind performance.
Pressure. Failure. Standards. Emotional control. Discipline. Recovery. Decision-making. Identity. Behaviour.
Every episode breaks down why talent does or does not transfer when the game gets loud.
Because talent is not enough.
Talent has to survive pressure.
It has to show up after failure.
It has to hold when emotion, expectation, comparison, fatigue, and consequence arrive.
That is EQ-OS.
This podcast takes the ideas from EQ-OS: The Baseball Operating System and brings them into real conversations with athletes, parents, coaches, doctors, leaders, and high performers who understand what pressure actually costs.
No fake toughness.
No motivational wallpaper.
No theory trying to sound smarter than it is.
Just honest conversations about the systems that shape performance, development, and behaviour.
Hosted by Curtis Pelletier, author of EQ-OS, creator of TransferEQ, and founder of Mindset U, The Mindset U Playbook is built for athletes, parents, coaches, and anyone who wants to understand the gap between what people know and what they actually do.
Because what happens off the field is not separate. It is the operating system.
And eventually, the game exposes it.
