Ep. 135 Train Your Focus

You are always training something—so what are you training?
In this episode, we unpack why focus feels harder than ever and how modern life has quietly trained us to favor distraction. You’ll learn how to retrain your attention like a muscle, clear the mental clutter that keeps you scattered, and bring intentional focus back to your dancing and daily life.

Amber shares practical ways to strengthen concentration—both in everyday moments and on the competition floor—so you can stay present, connected, and in control no matter what’s happening around you.

Whether you struggle to stay focused in ballroom lessons, drift during dance practice, or lose presence when you compete, this episode will help you reclaim your attention as your most powerful tool.

You’ll learn:

  • Why distraction has become our default setting (and how to undo it)

  • How to train focus in your dancing like any other discipline

  • What physical, emotional, and mental factors quietly sabotage attention

  • Simple “focus reps” you can build into daily life

  • How to use focus to improve your practice and performance on the floor
