#106: How Champions Think | Dr. Bob Rotella, World-Renowned Sports Psychologist

Exceptional performers aren’t defined by talent alone—they’re defined by how they think. And in marketing—where uncertainty, pressure, and change are constant—the right mindset is a competitive advantage.

In this episode, Dr. Bob Rotella, one of the world’s most influential sports psychologists, joins Jason to explore the mental principles that fuel greatness in sports, business, and brand leadership. Bob has coached champions like Rory McIlroy, Nick Price, and Ernie Els—but his teachings apply just as powerfully to CMOs, founders, and teams navigating high-stakes decisions every day.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Confidence is a leadership skill—and marketers have to choose it daily
✅ Process beats outcomes: breakthrough marketing comes from consistent attitude, not periodic wins
✅ Optimism fuels resilience in fast-changing markets
✅ Exceptional teams maintain belief through uncertainty, noise, and shifting conditions

Memorable Moments:
💡 “Fear and doubt kill more dreams than failure.”
💡 “How you think about yourself has to match the dream of you—and the dream of your company.”
💡 “If you want to be exceptional, you can’t think like the middle.”
💡 “Blind faith is seeing success long before anyone else can.
