Have you ever, suddenly and without explanation, lost your ability to do something that you’ve done your entire life? What if that ability had come to define you, and had taken you to the pinnacle of your profession? Losing Control is a podcast about one of the strangest mysteries in sports: the yips, the twisties, or by whatever name you know it, when an athlete or elite performer suddenly loses their ability to do something that they could once do without even thinking about it. Told through conversations with athletes, coaches, scientists, reporters, and more, join host and mental performance expert Justin Su'a–current head of mental performance at the MLB’s Tampa Bay Rays–for ten episodes that examine what happens when athletes and elite performers lose control–and how they get it back. You’ll walk away with stories that empower you to constructively embrace the challenges that you face in your own life, on and off the field, and learn some of the mental skills and strategies that keep the pros on top of their game. It's Losing Control, a podcast about the yips, with Justin Su’a.
