🔄 Break the Loop 3/7: Turn Pressure into Power #WinItAllWednesday

“Pressure is a privilege. It only comes to those who earn it.” — Billie Jean King

The gap between good and great isn’t just talent. It’s how you handle stress when the game gets tight. Most people shrink under pressure. Champions learn to expand.

Here’s why. When stress hits, your brain tends to tunnel in. Scientists call it attentional narrowing. It’s useful if you’re a caveman spotting a predator, but not so useful if you’re an athlete trying to make the right play. Tunnel vision is why even the best can make simple mistakes under stress.

The good news is you can break that loop. Try this: take one slow breath in, then let the exhale last longer than the inhale. That signals your body to reset. Then, deliberately expand your awareness. Notice three new things around you. It’s like flipping a switch from tunnel vision to wide vision.

And the Bible captured this wisdom long ago: “Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you” (Proverbs 4:25). That’s the balance of focus without losing awareness.

So here’s today’s challenge. Think about a high-pressure moment. Maybe it’s on the basketball court in the final minute, scanning the floor for the open teammate. Or in hockey, catching your breath before a faceoff when the game is on the line. That’s when this practice matters most. Try it, and notice how stress turns from enemy into energy.

🎧 Hit play and let’s learn how to turn pressure into power.
