Jess Fox Learns to Let Go

“Try easier.” It sounds almost backwards, right? But for Olympic gold medallist Jess Fox, this simple shift—taught by performance coach Nam Baldwin—was the key to unlocking her best performances on the world stage.

In this bite-sized episode, Nam unpacks why forcing yourself harder often blocks flow, and how learning to ease off can actually help you access the zone when it counts most. He also explains why being calm doesn’t mean being passive or relaxed—it means being ready.

Whether you’re chasing medals, pitching big ideas, or just wanting to handle pressure better in daily life, this powerful reframe could change how you show up when it matters most.
