In this episode of The Daily Drive, we explore the Einstellung Effect—a mental trap where past experience blinds us to better solutions. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or leader, relying too much on what’s worked before can limit growth and innovation. We break down real-world examples from sports, business, and everyday life, and share strategies to challenge your instincts, think differently, and break free from mental lock-in. Are you stuck in old patterns without realizing it? Tune in to find out how to see problems with fresh eyes and unlock new levels of performance.
