MENGENAI EPISOD INI
What if everything you've been told about performance psychology is wrong?
In our latest episode of Just Kickin' It, Brian and Josh sit down with Dr. Kapil Gupta — advisor to professional athletes, CEOs, and performing artists — for one of the most thought-provoking conversations we've ever had.
Kapil doesn't prescribe. He doesn't hand out frameworks, four-step processes, or the three Cs. He does something far more uncomfortable: he tells the truth.
Some of what he shares will challenge everything you think you know about coaching, confidence, and performance:
→ Why thought is the enemy of elite performance — and what actually replaces it→ Why sports psychology's answer to "thinking problems" is... more thinking (and why that makes everything worse)→ Why prescriptions — even correct ones — destroy performance→ Why meditation as we know it is largely a social performance, not a path to transformation→ Why chasing results (the World Cup, the Super Bowl, the championship) will never fill the hole you're hoping it will
This isn't a comfortable listen. It's designed to make you stop, question, and look in the mirror.
As Kapil puts it: "Performance is not a goal. It is a side effect."
If you've ever had an athlete tell you they lack confidence, or watched every tool in your toolbox fail to move the needle — this episode is for you.
Just Kickin' It — built to push ideas forward.
