Summary
Most people think resilience shows up in the moment. It doesn’t. AJ and Johnny break down why resilience is a system — not a personality trait — and how top performers decide their responses before pressure hits. Instead of reacting emotionally, they use simple “if-then” plans, emotional regulation, and repeatable behaviors to stay grounded.
