Fear is the invisible wall between you and your best performances.

In this episode of Living in the Zone, mental performance coach Jim Fannin reveals the true cost of fear: lost momentum, bad decisions, hesitation, and underperformance.

Whether it’s fear of failure, judgment, pressure, or even success itself—fear disconnects you from your Zone. But with the right mindset tools, it can be dismantled and turned into focus, drive, and courage.

Playing reactive instead of proactive football. ❄️ Cam Ward’s recent comments – Mentally disconnected and not aligned with his leadership moment. ❄️ New York Mets – Missed the playoffs.
