What if the key to competing with confidence wasn't pushing harder but laughing smarter?
If You're Not Laughing, You're Losing is a mental performance playbook for athletes who overthink, freeze under pressure, or take themselves a little too seriously. Written by Certified Mental Performance Consultant and international-level jiu-jitsu black belt Erin Herle, this book shows you how to use humor as a legit mental skill-not a distraction, but a weapon.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
Break the anxiety spiral before it wrecks your focus
Bounce back from mistakes without falling apart
Use humor to reset, adapt, and stay loose under pressure
Build real confidence without becoming a motivational zombie
Actually enjoy competing again
Whether you're a high-level athlete, a weekend warrior, or just tired of overthinking everything before a match, this book will give you the tools to compete like a human-with presence, play, and a smirk when it counts.
Includes the P.L.A.Y. Framework: a trainable system for using humor to shift perspective, loosen up, build adaptive confidence, and stay engaged when things go sideways.
You don't need to be a comedian. You just need to stop letting stress win.
