Pep Talks
Interrupt the spiral. Reframe faster.
Pep Talks give you a script when your inner voice turns against you. They help you pause, redirect emotion, and reconnect with what matters — effort, perspective, courage — before one bad moment hijacks your match.
Pep Talks help you:
- Pause & notice the emotional hijack
- Reframe the story you're telling yourself
- Reset your focus before the next point
- Reconnect with your competitive why
- Compete with steadier inner language
