Ep. 5: The Mental Game, Mentorship & Finding Your Zone with Justin Maass
8m 51s
In Episode 5, Justin Maass steps away from the arena and gets into the part of roping most coaches won't talk about: the mental game. Maass breaks down his coaching philosophy, explaining why he doesn't try to completely rebuild a roper's swing and why embracing your own style is often more productive than chasing someone else's technique. He also opens up about the one year in his 20-year career where everything clicked, what it felt like to be in the zone, and why he thinks the pressure to win was quietly working against him the whole time. From finding your trigger to the fine line between cocky and confident, this episode is as honest as it gets. If you've ever wondered why you rope better some days than others, this one is worth your time.
