Episode Summary:

In this episode, Ian Hawkins explores one of the most overlooked foundations of performance identity. Fresh from a workshop with young footballers preparing for their 2026 season, Ian unpacks how clarity of who you are and what you stand for transforms how you play, lead, and connect. Through real examples from the session, he shows how individual strengths, team values, and shared intent create the culture that fuels results.

Listeners will learn why identity isn’t a buzzword but the heartbeat of high performance. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or leader, Ian explains how self-awareness builds consistency, confidence, and resilience, and how embracing what comes naturally makes you magnetic to those around you. It’s a practical roadmap for aligning who you are with how you perform in sport, work, and everyday life.
