In episode #35 of the All-Star Athlete Podcast, we’re joined by Gagandeep Singh — a behavioral psychologist, performance consultant, and founder of Hello Excellence Consulting. Gagandeep helps athletes, engineers, and executives elevate their leadership, communication, and emotional resilience through psychology-backed, human-centered coaching. Gagandeep’s journey is one marked by curiosity, challenge, and transformation. From growing up in India to pursuing graduate studies in the United States, he opens up about the pressure, loneliness, and panic attacks he faced early on — and the surprisingly simple grounding habit that changed his relationship with stress forever. His story is a powerful reminder that mindset is shaped not only by what we learn, but by how we practice presence and connection in the moments that matter most. We dive into the core principles of performance psychology, the differences between coaching athletes and highly analytical professionals, and why most people don’t realize they’re performing every day — whether they’re competing on the field or leading in the workplace. Gagandeep breaks down skills like scanning, rehearsal, reflection, and validation, and explains how world-class athletes like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo model the habits of elite mental performers. You’ll gain practical tools for staying calm under pressure, reducing uncertainty, improving communication, and preventing burnout — along with simple habits you can start using today to strengthen your mindset and build more effective relationships. Whether you’re an athlete, a leader, or someone striving to perform at a higher level, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and new strategies to elevate your mental game. 👇 Timestamps 0:00 – Introductory Clips 1:12 – All-Star Athlete Podcast Introduction 1:22 – Gagandeep Singh Formal Introduction 2:30 – Icebreaker – Sitting Outside in the Grass 6:08 – Gagandeep’s Journey to Mental Performance Coaching 10:42 – Most People Are Not Athletes 13:18 – Similarities & Differences of Coaching Athletes vs. Engineers 17:39 – Core Principles of Performance & Leadership Coaching 21:34 – Mental Performance Skills High Performers Use 28:34 – Lionel Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo – Inspiration From Each 31:57 – Strategies for Staying Calm, Focused & Effective Under Pressure 39:12 – Developing Effective Leadership Skills 48:05 – Influence of Mental Performance Skills on Communication 57:20 – Preventing or Managing Burnout 1:05:31 – Actionable Strategies You Can Start Using Today — 💥 Follow Gagandeep Singh 📸 Instagram: @hello_excellence 💼 LinkedIn: Hello Excellence Consulting 🌐 Website: https://www.helloexcellence.com/ — 💪 Follow All-Star Mindset: 📸 Instagram: @allstarmindset_ 📸 Instagram: @allstarathletepodcast 🎵 TikTok: @allstarmindset 🎵 TikTok: @allstarathletepodcast 🐦 X: @AllStarMindset_ ▶️ YouTube: @allstarmindset 💼 LinkedIn: All-Star Mindset 👍 Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if Gagandeep’s insights helped you rethink communication, leadership, or how you perform under pressure. 🎙️ For more, follow the All-Star Athlete Podcast!

In episode #34 of the All-Star Athlete Podcast, we’re joined by Rosanna Tomiuk — a former professional water polo player for Team Canada turned executive coach at Novus Global, where she helps elite performers, Fortune 500 leaders, and athletes go beyond high performance into what’s called Meta Performance™. Rosanna’s story is one of resilience, reflection, and reinvention. From chasing the dream of making the Olympics to discovering that true growth is a journey of character transformation, she shares what it really means to go after your boldest outcomes — and how to keep your identity intact when things don’t go as planned. We talk about the difference between high performance and Meta Performance, how curiosity can completely reshape your mindset, and why the questions you ask yourself are often more powerful than the answers you seek. Rosanna opens up about the lessons she learned as an athlete, the meaning behind her TED Talk “Your Greatest Moments Aren’t What You Think”, and practical tools for anyone ready to explore what they’re truly capable of.

In episode #33 of the All-Star Athlete Podcast, we’re joined by Anna Repetto — a former competitive gymnast turned fitness coach who’s been through just about every phase of health, from obsessive tracking and under-eating to finally finding balance, grace, and confidence in her body. Anna opens up about her early years as a high-level gymnast, how quitting the sport led to drastic changes in how she saw herself, and why chasing the “perfect” body eventually took a toll on her mental and physical health. From overtraining and extreme food tracking to losing her period, hair, and energy, Anna shares the wake-up call that led her to reimagine what healthy really means. We dive into the mental and emotional rollercoaster of comparing yourself to past versions, the myths of macro tracking and clean eating, and what it actually looks like to heal your relationship with food. Anna also offers practical advice for young women who feel lost in the gym, overwhelmed by pressure, or unsure how to begin again after “falling off.” Plus, we get into the power of manifestation, vision boards, gratitude, and how simplifying your approach to health can make you feel more aligned, not less disciplined. Whether you’re deep in your fitness journey or trying to rebuild from a place of burnout, Anna’s story is a powerful reminder that health and fitness should never feel like punishment. 👇 Timestamps 0:00 - Funny Intro Clip 0:40 - All-Star Athlete Podcast Introduction 0:51 - Pre-Episode Chat 3:05 - Discussing Age, Experience & Confidence 8:36 - Anna Repetto Introduction 10:11 - Anna’s Athletic Background & Story 12:21 - The Mental and Emotional Effects of Changing Body Types 16:32 - Tracking Food Isn’t Always Healthy 19:32 - Being Underweight is Just as Unhealthy as Being Overweight 23:43 - When She Knew She Had Gone Too Far 25:42 - Macro Tracking, Dieting & Eating Healthy: What Helped and What Didn’t 36:47 - The Struggle of Comparison to Our Past Selves 39:52 - Advice For Young Women Who Are Feeling Lost 43:37 - Discussing Negativity & The Stories We Don’t Hear About 45:18 - Manifestation, Vision Boards & Gratitude 50:36 - Is There an Easier Way to Achieve Your Best Self? 56:12 - It’s Okay If You Aren’t Where You Want To Be Yet 59:39 - Navigating the Complexity of Comparing Yourself to Previous Versions of Yourself 1:05:42 - Your Health & Fitness Should Feel Healthy — 💪 Follow Anna 📸 Instagram: @anna.marie.repetto — 💥 Follow All-Star Mindset 📸 Instagram: @allstarmindset_ 📸 Instagram: @allstarathletepodcast 🎵 TikTok: @allstarmindset 🎵 TikTok: @allstarathletepodcast 🐦 X: @AllStarMindset_ ▶️ YouTube: @allstarmindset 💼 LinkedIn: All-Star Mindset 👍 Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if Anna’s story helped shift your perspective on fitness, health, or healing. 🎙️ For more, follow the All-Star Athlete Podcast!

In episode #32 of the All-Star Athlete Podcast, we’re joined by Nico Arcata — a lifelong athlete turned endurance junkie with his sights set on completing an Ironman before he turns 30. Nico grew up playing every sport under the sun, eventually focusing on basketball before shifting into a self-driven world of running, strength training, and long-term mental growth. In this episode, Nico opens up about the evolution of his identity as an athlete, what drew him to endurance challenges like marathons and Hyrox, and how he's learned to train through self-doubt by building confidence brick by brick. We dive deep into his mindset tools, why focus and consistency matter more than motivation, and how working through tough times has reshaped his understanding of discipline. We also chop it up about real-life stuff — navigating social distractions, going out to bars, drinking in moderation, and even the mental game of approaching women. Nico shares how staying aligned with your goals doesn’t mean cutting out fun altogether — it just means being more intentional about how you show up. And of course, no All-Star Athlete episode is complete without some ridiculous rapid-fire questions — including favorite junk food, childhood stuffed animals, guilty pleasure TV shows, and more. Whether you're a competitive athlete or just someone trying to build more discipline and trust in yourself, Nico’s story will remind you that confidence is earned through action, and the work always works. 👇 Timestamps 0:00 - Funny Intro Clip 0:38 - All-Star Athlete Podcast Introduction 0:49 - Pre-Episode Business Conversation & Talking Shop 9:43 - Fun Pre-Game Question #1 - Go-To Junk Food? 11:39 - Fun Pre-Game Question #2 - What Celebrity Are You Switching Lives With For a Day? 14:44 - Fun Pre-Game Question #3 - Childhood Stuffed Animal or Blanket? 17:29 - Nico Arcata Formal Introduction 21:19 - Nico’s Athletic Background 25:04 - The Transition to Endurance Sports 28:39 - Talking About His Ironman Goal 34:39 - Addressing Self-Doubt 42:02 - Mid-Interview Business Discussion & Talking Shop 49:23 - Think Less & Do More 53:30 - Talking Drinking, Going Out, and Social Distractions 57:28 - Fun Halftime Question #1 - Guilty Pleasure TV Show 59:12 - Fun Halftime Question #2 - Who’s in Your Dream Hangout Crew? 60:28 - Fun Halftime Question #3 - What’s Your Cringey Theme Song? 1:01:39 - What Helps Nico Stay Locked In On His Goals 1:11:03 - Mindset Habits & Routines When Going Through Tough Times 1:16:03 - Examining the Definition of Confidence 1:24:03 - Nico’s Advice For Leveling Up Your Discipline 1:25:39 - Discussing Growth vs. Fixed Mindset 1:36:11 - In Pursuit of Something vs. Being In The Present Moment — 🏃‍♂️ Follow Nico 📸 Instagram: @nicholasarcata — 💥 Follow All-Star Mindset 📸 Instagram: @allstarmindset_ 📸 Instagram: @allstarathletepodcast 🎵 TikTok: @allstarmindset 🎵 TikTok: @allstarathletepodcast 🐦 X: @AllStarMindset_ ▶️ YouTube: @allstarmindset 💼 LinkedIn: All-Star Mindset 👍 Like, subscribe, and drop a comment if Nico’s story pushed you to rethink your routine, your goals, or your limits. 🎙️ For more, follow the All-Star Athlete Podcast!
