S2E32 | Psychology at Spurs: Dan Abrahams on Control, Chaos, and the Crowd

We’re joined by sports psychologist Dan Abrahams to talk about what’s really happening inside a player’s head when the pressure hits. Dan explains his “ANTS” idea (automatic negative thoughts), why mistakes snowball, and how crowd emotion can seep into decision-making. We also get into “game face” as a practical tool, the difference between high and low performance mindsets, and why culture matters if you want any of this to stick. Proper fascinating, and very Spurs-relevant right now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
