    Jan 28 2026

    Today, I go behind the scenes with Justin Su'a, Podcast Host, Author, and CEO of Performance Advisory Group, to show how elite athletes design simple systems that hold up under pressure. We unpack environmental design, feedback loops, and why competence beats confidence when it matters most.

    Episode Highlights:

    • Systems by design vs systems by default
    • Separating life from sport with a "mental locker"
    • Environmental design that makes good habits easy
    • Defining and owning a real process
    • Guiding youth athletes through tiny starts and constraints
    • Preparation receipts to anchor confidence
