In this episode, we dive into the power of optimism and how it can make the difference between good and great performances. Dr. Bob Rotella shares an incredible story from the 2012 NCAA Tournament, when he worked with Coach John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats. With a national championship on the line, Coach Calipari knew he needed shooting guard Doron Lamb to step up. But instead of pressure and criticism, he planted a seed of optimism—one that helped Lamb lead Kentucky to victory.We’ll break down why elite performers can’t reach their goals without optimism and how you can use the same mindset shifts to build confidence, reframe negative thoughts, and perform at your best. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or leader, learn how to plant the optimistic seed in others—and in yourself.Keep getting after it, my friends!
