It’s not about how you feel, it’s about what you do.

For readers of Atomic Habits and Inner Excellence, a practical guide to performing your best in the moments that matter most.

No matter what your job or goals are, everyone has decisive moments—the presentation, the pitch, the interview, the big game. Those high-pressure situations can make or break the paths we’re on, and it’s normal to struggle with the stress they bring. With guidance though, you can clear the mental clutter that can sabotage your most important days and create new, better habits for your toughest professional, and even personal, challenges.

In Dialed In, Dr. Dana Sinclair, a globally recognized performance psychologist, shares the practical strategies that she’s revealed to thousands of professional athletes, surgeons, and business leaders. It’s not about becoming fearless; it’s about crafting sustainable strategies, habits, and routines for those high-pressure situations, and peeling away the lessons that need to be unlearned about motivation and success.

In Part One, Dr. Dana shares her key concepts:
-the true nature of confidence (it’s overrated)
-the difference between effective routines and unhelpful superstitions
-helpful communicating vs. common bad advice
-why character matters more than talent, and much more

In Part Two, she takes us through her three-step process for making your own performance plans, with five helpful case studies to illustrate how it’s done.

The final section includes questionnaires about motivation, habits, fears, and more, and gives quick tips to help you develop your personalized performance plan for the specific challenges you face.

Straightforward, universal, and no-nonsense, this is a hands-on guide to get your best results when the pressure is on. Stress Management Personal Success Sports Psychology Personal Development Sports Career Success Career

Growing up with a father who coached in the NHL, I’ve always been fascinated by sports psychology, motivation, and performance. This book lays a clear foundation of tactics that work, whether in sports or in day-to-day work.

Two ideas really stood out to me:
• Invest in character — its power is often underestimated.
• Be process-oriented, not results-driven. Results are the consequence; the process guides what you do.

I recently applied some of these strategies during a half marathon, especially performance cues and breath work, and it made a real difference in staying calm and focused.

Whether you’re on the field, in the office, or just trying to perform at your best, this book is full of actionable insights to help you show up fully.
