In this episode of The Daily Coach newsletter in audio form, we revisit performance under pressure, identity, and the freedom that comes from detachment.

First, we examine a putting experiment shared by performance psychologist Dr. Michael Gervais. Three golfers—each with different backgrounds—reacted to the same stress differently, offering insights into how pressure impacts identity and performance.

Next, we break down two key takeaways: the importance of separating self-worth from results, and how elite performers stay committed without being defined by outcomes.

This episode challenges us to lead without over-identifying with outcomes—and to find power in who we are, not just what we do.
