Never Prejudge Another Player | Winning the Mental Battle - With Winning in Mind Podcast
In this episode, Mental Management Coaches, Troy Bassham and Heather Sumlin, dive into one of the biggest mental traps in competition: prejudging your opponent. Whether it’s thinking someone is unbeatable, assuming another competitor is struggling, or believing a player always folds under pressure, these assumptions pull your focus away from what truly matters — your own performance. Using principles from the “Control What You Can Control” Mental Management worksheet by Troy Bassham and Podium Performance, we explore how elite competitors learn to respect everyone, fear no one, and stay committed to executing their process instead of reacting to others. If you’ve ever found yourself intimidated by competition, distracted by another player’s performance, or emotionally tied to outcomes, this conversation will help you refocus on the one thing you can always control: your game.

From Wild Pitch to Reset: Staying Solution-Focused Under Pressure
In this episode of the With Winning in Mind Podcast, Troy Bassham and Heather Sumlin break down a powerful mindset shift: why focusing on solutions is far more effective than focusing on problems. Many competitors get stuck analyzing what went wrong—but the longer you stay focused on the problem, the harder it is to perform at your best. Instead, elite performers train themselves to quickly shift their attention to solutions. Through the Mental Management® system, Troy and Heather explain how this shift leads to faster recovery, better focus, and more consistent performance. The conversation also includes a candid look at baseball spring training, including what’s going through a pitcher’s mind after a wild pitch—and how staying solution-focused can prevent one mistake from turning into many. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why focusing on the problem holds you back How to quickly shift into a solution-focused mindset What great competitors think immediately after a mistake How to recover faster and stay locked in under pressure If you’ve ever replayed mistakes in your mind during competition, this episode will give you a better way forward. This is just the start—join us on Patreon for an extended conversation where we go deeper into how to apply solution-focused thinking in competition: Troy mentioned Scott Barlow during the interview, here is a With Winning in Mind interview with Scott from 2023: Websites: Troy Bassham - Heather Sumlin - Lanny - Books/Journals - Online Courses - Patreon - Instagram: Podcast- Troy Bassham - Heather Sumlin - FaceBook: Mental Management -

HOW TO TRAIN & BUILD CONFIDENCE

HOW TO TRAIN & BUILD CONFIDENCE
Here is a summary of the key points from the video: There are 3 main ways to train: training for feel (focusing on technique), training for the shot (incorporating the full mental process), and training for the round (simulating a full competition). Training for feel is good for beginners/intermediates to build the physical technique subconsciously. As you advance, you should incorporate more of the full mental process into your training, such as a pre-shot routine, point of focus, and post-shot review. For sports like golf and clay shooting, you can do drills that build confidence, like the 5-ball drill and alternating targets drill. The goal is to train the full mental and technical process so that you can trust it and perform under pressure in competition rather than just try harder. The video emphasizes the importance of training the mind and body together to build confidence and perform your best in competition.

How champions overcome pressure in competition..
Troy and Lannys emphasize the importance of the reinforcement phase in overcoming pressure in competition. The reinforcement phase is directly related to self-image, which affects one's opinion of one's ability to perform tasks correctly. Focusing on solutions and reinforcing positive outcomes in the reinforcement phase can help reduce pressure and improve the probability of future success. The key is consistently applying the three-step reinforcement phase approach: evaluate the task, reinforce the positive, or learn from the negative, then let it go and move on.
