In this episode of The Mental Performance Mastery Podcast, Brian sits down with 2024 MLB All-Star Cole Ragans of the Kansas City Royals for a deep dive into his mindset behind all-star level performance.

Cole shares his journey from being a 1st round draft pick, through two Tommy John surgeries, to earning an 2024 MLB All-Star selection — and the mental resilience required at every stage.

In this conversation, Brian and Cole unpack:

• The adversity that shaped his identity as a competitor

• Why he made the decision to invest in mental performance coaching

• His disciplined daily routine and preparation habits

• The power of using a Success Checklist

• Creating a Vision Board and Perspective Poster

• Mind Movies, mental imagery, and visualization

• Building awareness around sleep, recovery, and readiness

• The job of a pitcher in one word: Execution

• Shadow bullpens, in-game routines, and how he resets under pressure

This episode is a masterclass in commitment, preparation, and executing with intent when it matters most.
