Episode 181 - Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

Poker On The Mind Podcast

Welcome to Episode 181! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Mindset Coach Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker strategy & mindset. In this episode, the hosts discuss a question sent in by Matt who wanted our advice on managing a downswing early on one’s poker career. Topics discussed include:

• Being able to assess ability and separate that from your results
• How to manage your thoughts, feelings, and responses to get the results you want
• The difference between our feelings of a situation and the facts of the situation
• The importance of being resilient so you can keep going
