Performance rarely breaks suddenly.

Long before collapse, injury, or visible failure, something more subtle appears — heaviness.

In this episode of The Unseen Discipline Lab, we examine why performance begins to feel heavy even when skill, preparation, and discipline are still intact, and why this sensation is often misunderstood as fatigue, pressure, or lack of confidence.

This is not a psychological or motivational discussion.
It is a diagnostic look at heaviness as a neural and organisational signal — what enters the system when timing is supervised, rhythm is lost, and effort quietly replaces coordination.

A short, precise episode for performers who have felt something change before anything visibly went wrong — and for coaches, directors, and leaders who sense collapse approaching but cannot yet explain why.
