Mindset: Nervous System, Pressure, and Performance
|
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good buddy Vince Maltz, a high-performance mindset coach who works with NHL players, Division I athletes, and elite performers. We dig into what “mindset training” actually looks like in real life, beyond the clichés, and why it’s inseparable from physiology, recovery, and nervous system regulation. We also get into the modern performance environment: fake expertise, too many voices in the kitchen, and why big organizations adapt slowly. Vince breaks down centralized vs. decentralized leadership, how athletes can learn to think for themselves inside a system, and why being a “nerd” at your sport is becoming a competitive advantage. From there, we hit practical tools: how athletes move from conscious competence to unconscious competence faster, why distributed cognition matters in team sports, and what individuals can do today to improve performance through breathing, cold exposure, communication, and environment. 🎧 Listen here: Nervous System, Pressure and Performance << iTunes Episode Chapters:

This is it, Brosefus, Enrollment of the FDC closes at midnight PST tonight. No extensions. No "surprise, we kept it open." No fake urgency. No “oh, our website crashed from all of the traffic so it is open for 7 more days” BS. When it closes, it closes. The next enrollment window is months away. If you've been on the fence all week, here's what it comes down to: Do you want a system, or do you want to keep guessing? Because at some point, guessing stops being sustainable. Your clients get...
