Performance psychologist and neuroscientist Dr. Raymond Prior joins the Move The Chains Podcast to break down why &quot;just believe in yourself&quot; backfires under pressure, and what elite athletes and executives do instead. Drawing on decades of work with Olympians and high performers, Raymond explains the difference between stable and unstable confidence, why acceptance is the launchpad for action, and how to build a mindset that holds up when it matters most. In this episode: Why forcing positivity actually hurts performance The 5 sources of unstable confidence A-shaped vs. V-shaped thinking The RAIN method for managing anxiety: Recognize, Accept, Interest, Now Why mental performance is trained in advance, not summoned in a crisis The through-line: the best performers aren't the calmest: they're the ones who've learned to use their brain instead of fight it. &amp;nbsp; Links Golf Beneath The Surface by Raymond Prior Connect with Ryan Munsey Website Follow Ryan on&amp;nbsp;Instagram Subscribe to Ryan's&amp;nbsp;YouTube Channel Connect with Ryan on&amp;nbsp;LinkedIn Get Your Copy of&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;F*ck Your Feelings Audible Amazon Save 10% on your first melin hat, the world's best hats: Use the code&amp;nbsp;MoveTheChains10&amp;nbsp;at&amp;nbsp;melin.com Move The Chains Podcast | Unlocking Your Full Potential with Ryan Munsey http://ryanmunsey.com/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/42476685/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/42476685
