Episode Synopsis

T-PEG (see previous episode) gives you pitch-to-pitch consistency. But what about game-to-game? Host Robby Soul reveals how elite performers use pregame rituals to trigger peak state and deliver consistent results when the lights come on.Discover the secret behind legends like Michael Jordan (cleaned car before every game), Wade Boggs (chicken before every game), Tiger Woods (red shirt on Sundays), and Kobe Bryant (Halloween theme song for "killer" mindset). Even Alex Ovechkin—now the NHL's all-time leading goal scorer—credits his own unique ritual for success.The common thread? Each ritual is authentic to the individual, triggers a specific mental state, and creates the predictable sequence your brain needs to ward off The Devil Inside.Learn why pregame rituals reduce decision fatigue, signal the transition from normal mode to competition mode, and why you can't copy someone else's routine and expect the same results.Robby breaks down the essential elements: timing, music, physical preparation, mental preparation, and your unique authentic trigger. Learn the difference between being superstitious and being intentional, and why your ritual must work for every game—not just the big ones.Your assignment: Design your pregame ritual this week. Write it step-by-step, test it before your next game, and refine based on what genuinely locks you in.Your ritual tells your body and mind: "It's GO TIME."Let's build your Major League Mind.Find out how to work with Robby one on one to build your mental game.
