If you have ever felt confident in practice but completely different when game day hits, you are not alone. In this live conversation, we are talking about the mindset barriers that keep skaters from translating their skills into performance under pressure. We cover how insecurities show up during gameplay, why old internal scripts sabotage confidence, and what actually helps skaters recenter when things start to spiral. We also dig into practical tools like visualization, reviewing footage even when it feels uncomfortable, and setting clear weekly action steps that actually get done. This is an honest discussion about accountability, reframing self talk, and why mindset work is often the missing link for skaters who are already training hard. If you are tired of feeling stuck in your head on game day and want strategies you can start using now, this live is for you.
