About this listen

 In this episode, Brian and Jasper break down the yips, that sudden, inexplicable loss of skill that rattles athletes, performers, and professionals across industries. From missed free throws to blank stares during presentations, the yips are more than just nerves, they're a mental block that can derail careers. The hosts share personal stories and real-world examples, exploring how pressure, perfectionism, and fear of failure feed this psychological spiral. They also examine how leaders can recognize the signs, provide support, and foster environments where setbacks aren’t feared but used as fuel for growth.
