Your brain filters reality based on what you tell it matters, and once you understand this, you’ll see how much of your life is shaped by what you’ve trained yourself to notice. In this episode, Coach Antoinette introduces the Red Car Theory: the idea that whatever you focus on, obstacles or opportunities, is what your brain starts finding everywhere. Using examples like a hitter in a slump, a gymnast rattled after a fall, and a golfer spooked by a missed putt, she breaks down how the brain’s reticular activating system turns repeated thoughts into “evidence,” and why confidence isn’t about ignoring reality, it’s about training your focus.
