Episode Summary:

Real high performance isn’t just about skill; it’s about identity. In this episode, Ian Hawkins unpacks the story of Jonah Pezet, the young NRL half whose rise through adversity has captured the attention of major clubs and fans alike. From an ACL injury to a breakout semi-final performance, Jonah’s journey is built on more than talent; it’s founded on composure, professionalism, and character.

Ian explores the influence of Jonah’s father, former NRL player Troy Pezet, and the pride that comes from seeing your child not only succeed, but embody the values that last beyond sport. This episode digs into what really drives success, calmness under pressure, decision-making, leadership, and the courage to step outside your comfort zone.

Whether you’re a parent, coach, or athlete, you’ll walk away with a reminder that true high performance is 90 percent identity who you are when things don’t go to plan, and how you carry yourself in every part of life.
