Official Living in the Zone Podcast

The Living in the Zone Podcast, hosted by ZoneCoach® Jim Fannin, is a powerful and insightful exploration of peak mental performance, specifically through the lens of sports. Nobody sees sports the way Certified ZoneCoaches see them. Now, it’s your turn to learn how the best in the world think! The S.C.O.R.E.® Success System is at the heart of the podcast, with it being the only proven mental system to attract the ”Zone” mindset that is tied to peak performance. Drawing upon over five decades of coaching elite athletes across MLB, NFL, NBA, PGA, Olympic sports, and more, Jim and his coaches use real stories and case studies of champions to illustrate how the best athletes get into and stay in the Zone — that rare mental state of peak performance where everything flows effortlessly. In fact, the podcast often draws parallels between “game day” and “life day” — reinforcing that being in the Zone is a lifestyle, not a one-time event. If you’re passionate about sports, fascinated by elite performance, or ready to unlock your own greatness, Living in the Zone is your weekly locker room pep talk — plus playbook, strategy, and halftime adjustment session. It’s where champions learn to think less and do more, all by aligning with S.C.O.R.E.® and attracting the Zone — on the field, and in life.
