    Welcome to the Metta Performance Podcast
    Oct 20 2025
    The Metta Performance Podcast kicks off by introducing a coaching philosophy that blends compassion with high achievement—so you can perform in work, sport, and life without flaming out. Holly, Michael, and Sean unpack what “Type A+” really means, why process beats outcome, and how to avoid comparison traps, celebrate small wins, and build sustainable performance that lasts. Key takeaways: What “Type A+” means without titles or podiums. Why “hustle-only” leads to burnout—and what to do instead. How to design sustainable performance across work, sport, life. Process > outcome: control what’s controllable. The comparison trap (and practical reframes to escape it). Micro-celebrations: using “singles” to sustain motivation. Sets & reps for the mind: actionable mental training. Coping with bad sessions and switching gears for work. Balancing multiple identities (parent, pro, athlete, leader). Simple reflection prompts to turn lessons into habits. Timestamps : 00:01 – What Metta Performance is: compassion + achievement + connection. 00:23 – Hosts’ backgrounds: psychology, endurance sport, coaching. 03:20 – Culture of hustle, burnout risk, and sustainability. 04:16 – Coaching approach: leadership, performance, and athletic coaching creds. 06:30 – Redefining “epic”: first races, non-podium wins, perspective. 08:00 – Process over outcome; self-awareness and compassion as fuel. 12:52 – Coping when things go wrong; mindfulness and gear-switching. 15:25 – Three “non-Metta” moments: over-fixation on outcomes and recovery. 27:07 – Zooming out: celebrate singles, not only walk-off homers. 27:37 – Work parallels: quarters, launches, and micro-wins worth celebrating.
