When was the last time someone asked you, “What’s your personal philosophy?” — and you could answer it in one sentence?In this week’s episode of The Unbound Performance Podcast, we dive into an article that shares powerful behind-the-scenes stories from Pete Carroll’s time with USC and the Seattle Seahawks — stories that have nothing to do with playbooks or drills and everything to do with building identity. You’ll hear how Carroll challenged not just his players, but every coach and staff member, to write down who they are, how they lead, and what they believe in — not in paragraphs, but in one powerful line. His reason? Consistency, resilience, and clarity begin with knowing exactly who you are.We reflect on why this kind of personal work matters for anyone, not just athletes. From high school athletes to parents to professionals chasing growth, your identity must be rooted in something deeper than performance. We share takeaways on how to start this process for yourself — writing, editing, and uncovering the traits and values that define you — and how doing so unlocks steadiness no matter what life throws at you.This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt lost in transition, stuck in comparison, or unsure what they really stand for. Pete Carroll believed in building people, not just programs — and by the end of this episode, you’ll understand why having your own life philosophy may be one of the most powerful tools in your mental performance arsenal.
