🎙️ Most athletes lose focus not because the moment is too big, but because they start it unprepared. In this episode, Tyler explains why elite athletes are intentional about the first five minutes of any environment—practice, class, meetings, or competition. Those opening moments set the tone for your nervous system, attention, and effort. When you rush in distracted, chaos follows. When you start grounded and present, your confidence stays steady. Control the beginning, and you control how you respond when pressure shows up.

Takeaway: Win the first five minutes, and the rest becomes easier to manage.
