wild energy

Raw, uncontrolled force

Wild energy is untamed, unrestrained vitality or enthusiasm—the kind that's hard to control or direct.

A child might have wild energy that needs burning off at the playground.

A performer channels wild energy on stage.

The phrase suggests something raw and potentially chaotic, distinct from calm focus or measured effort.
