Your mind is lying to you. And it’s costing you performance, confidence, and consistency.

In this episode, the Champion Living team breaks down the invisible mental patterns that sabotage athletes from target panic in archery to hesitation in the arena.

We dive into:
• The shocking biomechanics behind bareback riding (30+ Gs of force)
• How archery exposes the exact mindset flaws rodeo athletes struggle with
• The real definition of rodeo shape and why gym strength isn’t enough
• How a 61-year-old cowboy completely rewrote his story with consistent action

Whether you’re a professional competitor, weekend warrior, or trying to win in life this episode will challenge the way you think, train, and show up.
