Kayaking (and life!) is as much about mindset as it is about skill. Fear, doubt, and that pesky inner critic will always show up — but the good news is, you can train your brain to respond with courage and clarity. In this video, I’m breaking down two of my mindset tools:

• Fact vs. Story → Learn how to separate what actually happened from the narrative your brain spins about it.

• Reframe → Discover how to shift your perspective and tell yourself a more powerful story.

These tools are part of my mental agility coaching, designed to help you:

• Build confidence on and off the water

• Face fear with clarity and courage

• Step into flow — in paddling and in life
