You can't fix what you can't see. Most athletes are performing blind and wondering why they can't get better.

Episode Summary

Awareness (SEE) is the foundation of the my Locked In Framework, the five-layer system that separates elite performers from everyone else. Self-awareness means knowing your triggers, your ideal performance state, when you're off, and what impacts your performance so you can make better decisions in the moment.

Key Takeaways

Understand what SEE is and why elite performers know their patterns
Learn three questions to build self-awareness
Notice what's happening inside you after every practice and game

Q&A

Q: What is SEE in the Locked In Framework?

A: SEE is self-awareness. It's knowing yourself, your triggers, your ideal performance state, when you're off, and what actually impacts your performance.

Q: Why do most athletes wonder why they're tight or overthinking in games?

A: They never took the time to actually see what's happening inside them. They think they know themselves but don't understand their patterns.

Q: What do elite performers know that others don't?

A: Elite performers know their patterns. They know what makes them perform at their best, what throws them off, and the warning signs when they're slipping.

Q: Why does SEE matter for performance?

A: If you don't know what your ideal performance state feels like, you can't get back to it when you're off. SEE gives you the awareness to make adjustments in real time instead of guessing.

Q: What are the three questions to build self-awareness?

A: When am I at my best? When am I off? What impacts my performance?
