How Olympic Athletes Overcome Anxiety with Sandy Cohan — Part 1

How Olympic Athletes Overcome Anxiety with Sandy Cohan — Part 1

In this episode of Time Billionaires, Rebecca speaks with Sandy Cohan, an elite performance mindset coach, global keynote speaker, and two-time bestselling author who has helped Olympic and NHL athletes, CEOs, and high-level performers overcome anxiety and build lasting confidence under pressure.

Together, they unpack how to overcome anxiety in high-stakes moments and why real confidence is the result of your belief systems and thought processes, not a goal in and of itself that we can arrive at. Sandy explains that confidence is the visible result, but belief, memory, and past evidence make confidence sustainable. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, performance anxiety, or imposter syndrome, this conversation offers practical tools you can use immediately.

Rebecca and Sandy explore:

  • The different thought processes between trying to convince yourself you can succeed vs. reinforcing belief through past wins.
  • How defining success with clarity and specificity reduces anxiety
  • Why vagueness feeds anxiety, and specifically, labeling your fears makes them more manageable.
  • How the same lessons elite athletes use to stay calm under pressure can be used by anyone in any stressful or high-stakes situation.
  • Easy ways to build momentum in under 5 minutes.

If you want to build confidence, manage anxiety, and perform at your best, this episode gives you actionable strategies rooted in performance psychology.
