Troy and Lannys emphasize the importance of the reinforcement phase in overcoming pressure in competition. The reinforcement phase is directly related to self-image, which affects one's opinion of one's ability to perform tasks correctly.

Focusing on solutions and reinforcing positive outcomes in the reinforcement phase can help reduce pressure and improve the probability of future success.

The key is consistently applying the three-step reinforcement phase approach: evaluate the task, reinforce the positive, or learn from the negative, then let it go and move on.

In this discussion, Troy Bassham and Lanny explore the primary reasons athletes struggle to win, focusing on overthinking and over-trying. They explain that overthinking complicates mental processes and creates doubt, while over-trying involves excessive effort that can hinder performance. Both issues are common among athletes, especially veterans, who may become over-informed by multiple coaching sources. The conversation emphasizes mastering a consistent mental process and execution over worrying about outcomes. They suggest that athletes should focus on their execution rather than the results to improve performance and achieve success.
