Rather than preaching the usual high-performance advice, he highlights the destructive mindsets and behaviours that quietly sabotage potential, blaming others, judging everything, beating yourself up, obsessing over weaknesses, over-giving without receiving, and drifting through life without a plan. With Ian’s trademark honesty and humour, the episode unpacks how these behaviours show up for athletes, teams, parents, and professionals, and why so many high achievers fall into these traps without realising it. He shares personal stories from his own journey, including the moment he realised he was “sick of being mediocre”, and what it really takes to shift from stuck and frustrated to consistent, fulfilled, and performing at your true level. Listeners walk away with a clear mirror into their current habits, and an equally clear blueprint for turning the entire list upside down to create momentum, confidence, and growth. Whether you’re ready to level up or still clinging to the comfort of average, this episode will hit home. About the Host: Ian Hawkins is dedicated to showing how sports can transform lives.
