The Unbroken Protocol
You Are Not Who You Think You Are
In this episode, we break down one of the most overlooked forces in performance: identity. Most athletes think they know who they are but what they really carry are old stories, inherited labels, and outdated versions of themselves.
I dive into what I learned across 100 days of silent meditation over a decade, including the moment I realised the “I” behind my thoughts wasn’t the same as the thoughts themselves. That shift changed how I moved through football, Olympic lifting, swimming, triathlon, BJJ, and every chapter in between.
We explore why athletes stay stuck, how identity becomes a lens that shapes behaviour, and how to question the story you’ve been carrying.
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand one simple truth: identity isn’t fixed it’s edited. And you have the pen.
