120 | What a Former Olympian and NHL Player Discovered Behind Success

When you look at athletes at the highest level, you often see the results.
You rarely see what happens inside. The pressure. The identity. The fear of failing publicly.

In this episode I sit with Adrien Plavsic, former Olympian and NHL player, to explore the mental side of high performance. Our conversation was about the beliefs that shape us, the discomfort we avoid, and the mindset traps that appear when you measure yourself only by outcomes.

Adrien speaks about:
• What happens when your identity becomes tied to results
• Why failure is part of growth and not a threat to your value
• The shift from forcing success to performing in flow
• How discomfort can open clarity when you allow yourself to stay with it
• The mindset behind resilience and emotional strength
• How reframing stress can change performance and wellbeing
• What it really means to build a strong sense of self and personal brand
• The importance of trusting yourself when pressure rises

This conversation is especially meaningful if you carry the weight of always “getting it right”.
You will understand high performance through a more human lens, and see how identity, mindset and self trust influence the way you show up in your life and work.
