The Habits Olympians Use to Stay Mentally and Physically Elite with Annie Kunz
Sunday, 15 March, 2026
In this episode of the Habits of High Performers Podcast, you’ll learn what it really takes to perform at the highest level when the pressure is relentless, the stakes are high, and there is no room to hide. Olympian Annie Kunz shares the mindset, habits, and systems that helped her go from talented athlete to Olympic heptathlete, and why mastering your inner world is often the true difference-maker. We break down the power of mindfulness, journaling, identity, gratitude, and daily repetition. Annie opens up about learning to surrender, how she trained her brain to believe she was an Olympian before it happened, and why your self-image shapes your performance more than you realise. She also shares how to reset after setbacks, stay present under pressure, and build systems that carry you when motivation disappears.Annie also reflects on life beyond sport, the identity shift that comes when a career chapter ends, and the deeper role faith, purpose, and perspective have played in her journey. She finishes with the habits that ground her each day and a powerful reminder that success is not just about talent, but discipline, commitment, and doing the little things well over time.Connect with Annie on IG here - https://www.instagram.com/annie_kunz7/If you’re interested in having me deliver a keynote or workshop for your team contact Caroline at caroline@jjlaughlin.comWebsite: https://www.jjlaughlin.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6GETJbxpgulYcYc6QAKLHA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JamesLaughlinOfficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jameslaughlinofficial/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/life-on-purpose-with-james-laughlin/id1547874035 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3WBElxcvhCHtJWBac3nOlF?si=hotcGzHVRACeAx4GvybVOQ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameslaughlincoaching/James Laughlin is a High Performance Leadership Coach, Former 7-Time World Champion, Host of the Lead On Purpose Podcast and an Executive Coach to high performers and leaders.
