How Pressure Hijacks Performance (And How to Fix It) | Elite Performance Podcast #76

1. Why “logical prep” isn’t enough, how to plan for emotional punches.
2. The shift from external goals to internal identity that reignited his performance.
3. The real bottleneck most entrepreneurs miss: staying calm under pressure.
