Warrior Techniques to Master Your Mindset with Chris Harris, EP 308
About this episode
We talk with Chris Harris, the Warrior Maker, an elite athlete, author and speaker, who has trained Navy Seals, Green Berets and professional athletes to have tough mindsets. He says it's about mastering the space between stimulus and response so pressure will stop running your life. We break down metacognition, subconscious habit change, and race ready mindset tools that help master swimmers stay resilient and perform on purpose.
• Chris’s turning point from homelessness to a mission of “sending down the rope”
• What “warrior” means as mindset rather than combat
• Slowing down the response and dropping the need for approval
• Metacognition as a tool for real time micro adjustments
• Autopilot behaviour and why fear based patterns feel automatic
• “Critical Carl” as the subconscious firewall that blocks unfamiliar change
• Getting into theta state through meditation, hypnosis, and planned repetition
• The MetaCue method using a future memory, gratitude, and a daily cue
• Resilience built on a clear why plus acceptance of inner rivals
• Ego, insecurity, and identity shifts that can derail performance
• Endurance racing as a long stimulus response gap that demands automation
• OODA (observe, orient, decide, act) loop thinking applied to sport and execution
Chris's book, The Book of Mindset is available on Amazon.
