Fear is the invisible wall between you and your best performances.
In this episode of Living in the Zone, mental performance coach Jim Fannin reveals the true cost of fear: lost momentum, bad decisions, hesitation, and underperformance.
Whether it’s fear of failure, judgment, pressure, or even success itself—fear disconnects you from your Zone. But with the right mindset tools, it can be dismantled and turned into focus, drive, and courage.
🏆 In the Zone This Week: 🔥 Dodgers vs. Blue Jays – An 18-inning marathon filled with pressure, but both teams stayed calm and in control. A mental toughness masterclass. 🔥 Indianapolis Colts & Jonathan Taylor – A powerful combo showing confidence, rhythm, and belief when it matters. 🔥 Daniel Jones – Rising through doubt and adversity. Playing with poise and presence instead of fear.
🧊 Not in the Zone: ❄️ Brian Kelly (Fired LSU Coach) – Disconnected from his team, tone-deaf under pressure, and reactive instead of responsive. Fear clouded vision and leadership.
