Performance Mindset : How To Feel Confident Under Pressure for Executives and Elite Athletes

My Conversation With Chris DeSantis

Your brain is a Trickster. (So is mine.)

I'm Megan Devito, a performance mindset coach working with executives and competitive athletes, and the conversation I had on The Swim Brief podcast with coach Chris DeSantis might be the most fun and compelling I've had yet about how to feel confident under pressure.

I've had this same conversation on repeat with clients, my swimmers, and even myself for years. We talked about why and what coaches, athletes, and executives can do NOW to feel more secure, think clearly, do the hard things, and actually enjoy what they've worked for.

How Your Brain Lies To You About Success

On this episode of Chris' podcast, we covered:

• The moment that changed how I think about anxiety forever, that opened doors to a life I never thought was possible for myself. 

• Why beginners are sometimes the best thing that can happen to a high-performing team -whether in the pool or the office

• The case for getting uncomfortable when you're learning how to become a new you.

• What swimming and business culture gets wrong about greatness.

How To Feel Confident Under Pressure

Remember, performance mindset coaching isn't about fixing what you think is broken, it's about training your brain to stop working against you.

Getting the promotion or the raise won't make you feel more secure.

Getting faster doesn't make athletes more confident.

It's what you think about who you are and how you feel.
