The Mental Skill That Decides Who Breaks Under Pressure | Cam Newton

Описание: Why does the loudest opponent live inside your head?

Welcome to The Game Inside the Games, a special Super Bowl week series from Finding Mastery. In today’s episode, Dr. Michael Gervais is joined by former NFL star Brandon Marshall, with a surprise appearance from former MVP Cam Newton, for a raw, behind-the-scenes exploration of self-talk at the highest level of performance — when the stakes are unforgiving and the spotlight is absolute.

This conversation moves past highlight reels and into the private moments no one sees: the inner dialogue before a fourth-quarter play, after a public mistake, and during the lonely hours when confidence must be rebuilt. Together, they explore how elite performers use self-talk to regulate emotion, regain belief, and perform in chaos — not by eliminating doubt, but by learning how to work with it.

If you want to understand how the best performers respond to pressure, failure, and expectation — in sport, leadership, or life — this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why self-talk is one of the most powerful performance tools we all have
• How elite athletes perform despite doubt, not without it
• Why talking to yourself in the right way builds credibility under pressure
• How to recover confidence after public mistakes
• Why mastery begins with the voice you build long before the moment arrives
