When you're in a match and not feeling that inner fire, the first thing to know is: you don’t want adrenaline. Adrenaline is a stress hormone. It dumps into your system in fight-or-flight situations—not in flow. The best athletes in the world—surfers, free solo climbers, world-class tennis players—don’t perform on adrenaline. They perform on presence. That inner fire you’re asking about? That’s not hype or panic—it’s your love of the game burning clean. If you want to spark that energy mid-match, start by breathing big. Bring in oxygen. Jump up and shake your body. Get present in your senses and give yourself permission to play free. That physical jolt can reignite the fire.

Now let’s go deeper. That inner fire? That’s passion. That’s the love of playing—not just the desire to win. Most athletes run on willpower: push harder, grind longer. But the great ones tap into something else—devotion. They play because they love it. They hit because they have to express. Fire doesn’t come from pressure—it comes from purpose. That’s what we train in our fourth mental skill: Heart. We help athletes move from external pressure to internal ignition. And inside the CP Portal, we have entire trainings and guided meditations to help you flip the switch—back to love, back to joy, back to fire.

The truth is, your attention is your fire. Wherever you place your attention, you pour your power. When you give it to outcomes, you burn out. When you return it to your breath, your body, your senses—you light yourself up. That’s what we train at CP: how to control your attention so no opponent, no scoreline, no “off” day can take that fire away from you. Join the Blueprint, explore the Portal, and book a call with Tim if you’re ready to play from the inside out—on fire, on purpose, and totally in your zone.
