Most people don’t lose focus when things go wrong. They lose it when their attention leaves the moment that matters most.

In competition, high-pressure situations, and everyday life, performance doesn’t break down because of lack of preparation. It breaks down because the mind drifts—into the past, into the future, into overthinking what hasn’t happened yet.

In Live Where Your Feet Are, professional competitor, clinician, and author Marci Powell explores why staying present is not a personality trait, but a trainable skill used by elite performers when the stakes are high.

Drawing from real competition experience, neuroscience-informed insight, and years of working with athletes and high achievers, this audiobook shows why trying harder often pulls you further out of the moment—and how learning to stay changes everything.

Inside, you’ll discover why past- and future-focused thinking quietly erodes confidence, how elite performers train attention under pressure, why presence improves timing and trust, how to return to the moment after mistakes without judgment, and how staying present reshapes identity—not just performance.

Included at the end of the audiobook is a full reflection and practice workbook, designed to help you apply the concepts directly to your own life and performance. These guided sections allow you to slow down, notice patterns, and practice returning to the present in real time—where change actually happens.

This is not an audiobook about forcing calm, silencing thoughts, or positive thinking. It’s about learning how to stay—in the arena, in life, and in moments that don’t come with guarantees.

Because clarity, confidence, and steadiness don’t live in what already happened or what might happen next.

They live right here. Where your feet are.
