Coming Up Clutch with J.R. Helping Pro and Executive Athletes maximize their success and significance
Ever feel like you’re doing everything right…but something still feels off? Like no matter how hard you work, how much you win, how much you provide—it’s never quite enough. You’re crushing it professionally…but at home, you’re irritable, disconnected, or just numb. If that hits home, you’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You just might be glitching. 👀 This week on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I’m sit down with Dr. Don Wood—mindset and trauma expert, author, and the creator of the TIPP Method.

Ever feel like you’re running full throttle, but stuck at the same spot? You’re pushing hard, grinding daily, checking off the to-do lists, but something just isn’t clicking. You’re moving, but you’re not making the progress you want. That gap between where you are and where you want to be? It’s suffocating you. It’s got you questioning what you’re doing wrong. And let’s be real — you might even be thinking, “I’m a failure.” I’ve been there. The frustration…the self-doubt…the pain of feeling like your goals are still out of reach. Trust me—I’ve faced...

What’s your typical response when life hits you with a setback? …when you feel like you’re racking up loss after loss? If you’re a normal human being, the response can sometimes be, “I can’t win.” It’s easy to fall into that trap, right? In this week’s episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I sit down with my man, D'Wayne Louard, to break down exactly how to beat the “I can’t win” mentality and prepare for the inevitable storms of life. This man knows all about life’s curveballs, having had to walk his 9 year old through Stage 4 cancer, among many other...

You ever hit a stretch where everything feels HARD? Like no matter how much you pray… plan…push… Doors stay shut Momentum stalls Progress feels like dragging a boulder uphill Let’s call it what it is — FRUSTRATING. And the lies start circling in your head: “You’re off course. Maybe you missed it. Maybe you’re not called to this.” But here’s the truth: Hard doesn’t mean wrong. It might just mean God’s working. Resistance doesn’t always signal “stop.” Sometimes, it’s divine conditioning. Sometimes, it’s your runway to rise.This week on the...

What if the biggest thing holding you back from peak performance isn’t your talent, discipline, or work ethic — but what you’re carrying in your heart? In this episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R., J.R. sits down with leadership expert, author, and coach Todd Gongwer, author of Lead…For God’s Sake, for a raw, grounded conversation about identity, humility, forgiveness, and what truly drives sustainable leadership and performance. This isn’t a surface-level leadership talk. It’s a deep dive into the inner game most leaders avoid — and why avoiding it quietly sabotages...

Ever feel like the more you expect from yourself, the tighter you get? The pressure builds. Your focus slips. And instead of living free, you start overthinking every move – at work, at home, on the field, wherever you compete. Let’s be real. High expectations don’t automatically lead to high performance. In fact, when your mind is overloaded with expectations, your performance usually pays the price. What feels like discipline often turns into pressure, anxiety, and hesitation. What I’ve learned through my work with pro and executive athletes is simple but counterintuitive:...

Ever wonder what it really takes to win when the scoreboard is measuring you every single day? You step into a leadership role thinking it’s about strategy…but then the pressure hits, the standards blur, and the noise around you gets loud. Suddenly the game feels a lot harder than you expected. That’s why I had to bring Joe Bohringer on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show — a World Series Champion executive who’s spent 31 seasons navigating one of the most cutthroat environments in sports. Joe’s the guy behind the decisions, the culture, and the standards that build champions....

You ever feel like your phone owns YOU? Every ding and light-up screen yanking you around like a dog on a leash? The “urgent” text that could’ve waited. The random notification breaking your focus. The email that suddenly derails your morning. Let’s be real. You’re not “staying connected.” You’re being controlled. And it’s costing you your focus. Your energy. Your relationships. YOUR GOALS. What I learned very quickly in my professional career – if you don’t manage how people get access to you, they will control you. And when you’re “ON” 24/7? That’s not...

Ever feel paralyzed by fear? You’ve got a bold move in front of you...but that inner voice gets loud — “What if I fail?” “What if I blow it?” “What will people think?” Let’s be real – most high performers talk a big game when it comes to fear, but behind the scenes? They’re running from it. Masking it. Praying it disappears. That’s why I had to bring Jenn Drummond on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. She’s the first woman in history to climb the Seven Second Summits — the second-highest (and often most dangerous) peaks on every continent. She’s also a mom of...

You ever make a decision that looked like a win on paper…but deep down, your gut was screaming, “This ain’t it”? You ignored it. Took the deal. Signed the contract. And just weeks later…you’re stuck. Trapped. Miserable. I’ve been there. And it sucked. But here’s what I learned: That bad decision didn’t break me. It built me. That is, once I decided to stop burying my pain and start learning from it. That mistake became the foundation of a decision-making framework I now teach to my private clients, Clutch Club Members, and keynote audiences around the country. In this...
info_outlineYou ever feel like you’ve done everything right...
You prepped.
You trained.
You put in the time.
...but you’re still second-guessing yourself?
That nagging voice creeps in…
“You’re not built for this”
“You don’t have what it takes”
“You can’t come through”
Let me hit you with this…
When you doubt yourself, you’re not just doubting your abilities — you’re doubting the God who gave them to you.
That’s not a humility problem. It’s a faith problem.
And that’s exactly what I’m going after in this week’s 5-Minute Drill on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show.
I’m breaking down the root of self-doubt — and it’s not what you think. Because your doubt? It’s not about lack of skill. It’s about your illusion of control. So, in this episode, I walk you through:
- Why your obsession with outcomes is feeding your fear
- The real reason your confidence crumbles under pressure
Then, I give you a 3-step strategy to stop doubting and start leading with unshakable conviction and confidence.
So, if you’re tired of playing small…
If you’re sick of shouldering pressure like it’s your job…
Then lock in to this episode! Let's get it!
In this episode, you'll hear:
- Why self-doubt isn’t just a mindset issue — it’s a faith issue.
- The game-changing truth I shared with a pro athlete that helped flip his entire season.
- How Gideon’s story proves that God doesn’t call the confident — He confirms the called.
- A 3-step strategy to stop self-doubt in its tracks and move forward with conviction.
- The key difference between control and management — and how that shift unlocks freedom.
- Why verbal declarations grounded in truth are both spiritually sound and scientifically smart.
Key Quotes
