Slumps suck, don’t they?

Your energy’s there. Your effort’s there. Your commitment’s there.

But the scoreboard? It’s making you feel like you’re losing. That’s when the S word creeps in…“I think I’m in a slump.” Ugh. But here’s the question I’m asking on this week’s Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show:

Is it really a slump?

Because what I’ve learned from my own experience and from working with elite pro and executive athletes is this: Slumps stick when you start letting yesterday’s performance define today’s identity. And the fix?

It’s not grinding harder. It’s shifting your focus from yesterday’s outcomes to what you can manage today.

So in this week’s 5-Minute Drill, I’m handing you the exact strategy I use with my private clients to help them…

  • Regain momentum fast
  • Get their edge back
  • Stack WINs without waiting on results to validate them

This strategy is backed by science and grounded in Scripture. And it’s built for high-performers like you.

So, if you’re tired of letting numbers tell you who you are — then lock in to this episode.

Let’s get it!

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why using the word “slump” could be reinforcing the very thing you’re trying to escape
  • A simple 4-step strategy that helps you refocus and build momentum fast
  • How tracking process-based behaviors can reset your mindset and performance
  • The neuroscience behind small wins and why they chemically rewire your brain for motivation
  • A biblical truth from that affirms your ability to reset and start fresh every day
  • What most high performers get wrong when they hit a wall — and how to shift out of that trap for good

  • “Benchmarking your current identity against yesterday’s results is a trap.” – J.R.
