If your mind could only hold one thought at a time, what would you choose before the biggest moment of your athletic career? In this episode, Coach Antoinette introduces the Law of Occupied Space: the idea that your conscious attention has limited bandwidth, so whatever you intentionally focus on becomes the loudest voice in your head. She explains why elite performers don’t have fewer distractions, they’re just better at redirecting attention back to what matters, and shares a simple practice tool athletes can use to fill their mental space intentionally.
The Mental Weight Room is also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you stream your podcasts.
