First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO Mitch (Dec. 18th). As we are on a hiatus, here is a deep track episode from the Mindset Forge Podcast discussing Mindset around peak performance.

In this Episode, we explore how elite performers push past the brain’s early stop signal and how mindful acceptance turns pressure into presence. Taylor Brown shares the Brown–Harvard sprint, a sub‑5 mile journey, and practical tools to loosen rigid expectations and focus on controllables.

• trust and culture as speed multipliers in rowing
• the mind–body gap and perceived 100% vs real capacity
• pacing the sprint finish and timing the true last stroke
• using meditation to handle the second‑lap “oh no” moment
• radical acceptance over resistance to fear and anxiety
• one‑cue focus for technical execution under pressure
• choosing your relationship with inner experiences
• resources: Enduramind, MSPE podcast, Austin Rowing Club event

Please note: the EVENT at the Austin Rowing Club is not a new event.
