Gene Zannetti talks with Oregon state champion Ryder Sprague about starting mindset training after his freshman year when he was dominating in practice but collapsing in competition, how writing down his best moves and visualizing them shifted his confidence from blaming his skill to trusting it, losing the state finals as the No. 1 seed his junior year after letting fan mentality and rankings get in his head, and how shutting all that out senior year with sunglasses, headphones, and a no-rankings policy led to him winning the state title.
