The language you use shapes the meaning you give to situations, the stories you tell yourself, and ultimately the results you get in sport and in life. In this episode, Ian Hawkins unpacks the hidden power of words and why changing your self-talk can be as transformative as upgrading the software in your brain. Ian explores how negative language locks you into patterns of blame, victimhood, and self-doubt, while conscious shifts in the words you use can rewrite your story and unlock new levels of performance. Drawing on coaching experiences and real-life examples, he explains why self-awareness, journaling, and reframing are essential tools for changing your inner dialogue. If you want to break free from old narratives, build self-belief, and program your mind for high performance, this episode gives you practical strategies to change your words, change your story, and change your life. About the Host:  Ian Hawkins is dedicated to showing how sports can transform lives.
