概要

The Mindset U Playbook isn’t just about baseball; it’s about building a complete athlete and a complete person. Every episode dives into the habits, mental tools, and daily decisions that separate good players from great ones, and great players from great human beings.


Here, we explore the things that rarely make the highlight reel: discipline, mindset, leadership, recovery, focus, confidence, and the character it takes to thrive when the game ends and real life begins.


You’ll hear stories from athletes, coaches, and high performers who’ve learned that success isn’t built on talent alone; it’s built in the quiet hours, in the routines nobody sees, and in the way you handle the challenges life throws your way.

Whether you’re a youth athlete, a parent, a coach, or simply someone chasing your next level, The MindsetU Playbook gives you the game plan to win on the field and in life.


Because what happens off the field shapes everything on it.

  • # 80 - Why I Work in the Dark - EQOS
    2026/01/29

    Keywords
    awareness, capacity, emotional intelligence, coaching, personal growth, chaos, order, blame, performance psychology, suffering

    Summary
    In this episode, Curtis Pelletier breaks down why awareness without capacity leads to collapse. He challenges the habit of seeking validation instead of building structure and explains how emotional intelligence functions as an internal operating system, not a personality trait. The discussion moves through chaos and order, blame versus responsibility, and the real role of a coach in developing capability. Suffering is framed as a teacher, not an enemy, and structure is positioned as the bridge between insight and resilience.

    Takeaways
    Awareness without capacity creates failure, not progress.
    Blame is avoidance dressed up as explanation.
    Balance is an ongoing correction, not a middle ground.
    A real coach builds independence, not dependence.
    Emotional intelligence governs behaviour under pressure.
    Structure prevents collapse when stress rises.
    Suffering refines character when it is faced directly.
    Chaos grows when responsibility is outsourced.
    Order creates freedom when applied properly.
    Growth is the repeated alignment of awareness and capacity.
