What separates elite performers when talent and skill are no longer enough?

In this episode of the Mark Divine Show, I sit down with high-performance coach Jason Stacy to explore what actually happens when the pressure is on and why the work you do before those moments determines who shows up inside them.

Jason has spent decades working with elite performers, including world No. 1 tennis player and multiple Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka. We unpack lessons from the highest levels of competition and explore how they apply far beyond sports.

We get into the difference between confidence and self-belief, Jason’s three E’s of performance: energy, emotions, and environment, and why aligning your actions with your values creates an internal foundation you can rely on when the stakes rise.

We also discuss regulating your physical and emotional state, using micro-recovery periods throughout the day, shifting from a fighter mentality to a warrior mindset, and using the body and breath to regain focus, clarity, and control.
