Episode 181 - Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway
Welcome to Episode 181! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Mindset Coach Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker strategy & mindset. In this episode, the hosts discuss a question sent in by Matt who wanted our advice on managing a downswing early on one’s poker career. Topics discussed include:
- Being able to assess ability and separate that from your results
- How to manage your thoughts, feelings, and responses to get the results you want
- The difference between our feelings of a situation and the facts of the situation
- The importance of being resilient so you can keep going
