    237. IGNITE Your Mental Game | Stacy Ingram
    Aug 11 2026
    Mental performance coach Stacy Ingram reveals why teen athletes with the most talent still hit a wall when they haven't trained the mental side. Talent gets an athlete to the starting line, but mental toughness is what decides who's still standing at the finish. Dr. Andrew Fix sits down with Stacy, founder of Catalyst Mental Performance, to explore why so many young athletes build their entire mindset around results and what happens when injury, a slump, or the end of a season pulls that identity out from under them. Ingram breaks down her IGNITE framework and explains why the difference between coaching and therapy matters more than most people realize. She and Fix dig into a question worth sitting with: what actually happens in your brain and body when the pressure is highest, and are you training for that moment or just hoping to survive it? From free throw lines to final exams to high pressure moments at work, the conversation makes a compelling case that nervous system regulation and self-talk are skills, not personality traits. Ingram also gets honest about the gap between wanting to change and being ready to do the work, and what parents and coaches can do to spot the difference. Whether you coach athletes, raise one, or just want to perform better under your own version of pressure, this episode offers a practical look at what separates those who thrive under pressure from those who crumble. Quotes "Without the sport or like a big job you might have had or a career, if you don't know who you are as a person, you take that away and all of a sudden you have this huge gap of confidence because what made you you, at least in your mind, is gone." (12:54 | Stacy Ingram)"Therapy is really all about sort of how did you get here and looking a little bit more backwards, where coaching is all about how do like you're here, no matter how you got here, how do we move you forward?" (20:01 | Stacy Ingram)"We often aren't playing our best game when we're only focused on the score. And again, it doesn't mean we don't always want to win. Of course we want to win. But we want to do the things that give us the best chance." (34:37 | Stacy Ingram)"If you do nothing or implement nothing I teach you, nothing will change." (49:36 | Stacy Ingram)"Being intentional about our actions and our life instead of just letting things happen to us, kind of guiding that path and how we do that ourselves intentionally versus letting other people pick and choose it for us."

  • 236. My First HYROX Sim Experience

    236. My First HYROX Sim Experience
    Aug 4 2026

    Dr. Andrew Fix pushed his body through a full HYROX simulation in the Colorado heat and walked away with a hard lesson about pacing that every first-timer needs to hear before race day.

    What happens when a plan built on paper meets an actual clock, real heat, and eight stations back-to-back? Andrew found out firsthand at a HYROX simulation held with the team from CrossFit Falcon View. He went out too fast on the ski erg, a decision that cost him on the run that followed, and the pattern repeated throughout the event. Running makes up the majority of HYROX, and it rarely happens on fresh legs, so Andrew breaks down why compromised running deserves a real spot in training plans rather than an afterthought.

    Fueling gets its own moment too. A single gel packet, taken with intention rather than panic, made a measurable difference in how he handled the back half of the event. Preparing for something he'd never done before came down to one move. Run the simulation, feel the heart rate spike, and test the fueling strategy before it counts on race day.

    He also gets honest about the discomfort of pushing into unfamiliar territory and admits the experience left him humbled about what he thought he knew going in. HYROX rewards people who compete against their own benchmark rather than the person next to them. His finishing time now becomes a marker to measure against and learn from, not a number to chase blindly. For anyone eyeing a HYROX event this year, this episode offers a real look at what preparation actually demands.

    Quotes

    • "Make sure you do a simulation. Get yourself prepared for what the actual race environment is going to feel like rather than showing up on race day." (13:25 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
    • "You need to practice fueling on some of these longer runs because you're going to have to fuel on these race days." (14:07 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
    • “You're comparing yourself against your own thing. It doesn't have to be you competing with other people. It's you competing with you.” (16:18 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
    • "No matter how fit you are, this can still make you feel extremely exhausted." (16:51 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
    • "It's all part of the learning curve and pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone and doing something that challenges you at the end of the day." (17:10 | Dr. Andrew Fix)

  • 235. What is HYROX and Why Did I Sign Up For It?

    235. What is HYROX and Why Did I Sign Up For It?
    Jul 28 2026

    Dr. Andrew Fix once called HYROX dumb, so why did he sign up for the hardest fitness competition of his life anyway?

    Dr. Andrew Fix records this episode from the parking lot of REI's Denver flagship, prepping for a Run Denver Day event, and uses the moment to talk through his decision to race HYROX this November. He breaks down what the competition actually involves: eight one-kilometer runs split by eight functional stations, sled pushes, wall balls, rowing, and more, all standardized across every city in the world. That global consistency is part of what has turned HYROX into one of the fastest-growing fitness competitions anywhere, but Andrew spends most of the episode on something bigger than the race itself.

    What happens to your training when nothing is on the calendar? He argues that a real goal, with a real race date attached, changes the entire relationship between effort and motivation. He's honest about the parts of HYROX that make him nervous, including how his legs will hold up during the final wall ball station, and he treats that uncertainty as useful rather than something to avoid. Stress and discomfort, he says, are the stimulus for growth.

    So what's your version of HYROX? Andrew makes the case that the specific challenge matters far less than the fact of having one. A half marathon, a 14er hike, a dance recital, a fitness show. The finish line matters less than the discipline required to get there and the person you become along the way.

    Quotes

    • "We all benefit from having some sort of a goal, some sort of a thing on the calendar." (04:17 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
    • "It doesn't matter what the thing is. What matters is that when we have something that's on the calendar, it gives us something to work towards. It gives us a light at the end of the tunnel and it gives us a why." (05:07 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
    • "When we can train with purpose or train on purpose for something, it keeps us motivated." (05:24 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
    • "Get out there and do the thing. Put yourself in a scenario that makes you a little bit uncomfortable because we know that stress and discomfort is the stimulus for growth." (15:04 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
    • "The real benefits can come from the journey of how you got there." (15:36 | Dr. Andrew Fix)
