Have you noticed that prior to performance as an athlete, there are certain conversations going on in your head?

The conversations can range from performance related to seemingly inconsequential conversations that have nothing to do with performance.

According to my guest on the podcast today, all of this is mind chatter.

If you’re going to unlock new levels to your performance, you need to control your mind chatter.

Dr. Mitch Greene is a licensed clinical and sports psychologist who has mastered working with athletes through their mind chatter as well as other areas of their performance.

He is also the author of the book, Courage over confidence: Managing mind chatter and winning the mental game.

We’ve all seen the athlete who has an outburst during performance or the athlete who has what many term a mental breakdown while they are performing in sports.

For the outsider, the athlete is unstable and not in control of their emotions.

For the insiders, they understand how difficult it is to be an athlete and what goes into performance in sports.

So its totally ok for you as a young athlete to pray everyday not to have an emotional breakdown, not to have outbursts and to be totally in control of your emotions.

That’s where my guest on the podcast today comes in.

Dr. Jarrod Spencer is a Sports Psychologist with a focus on emotional health. The emotional side of sports.

He is also the author of the book, Mind Of The Athlete as well as other resources designed to help athletes perform to the best of their abilities. This is why many talented young athletes often find out later in their careers that there’s more to succeeding in sports than just having the talent.

In this episode, you’ll learn the tools that Dr. Jarrod uses in coaching athletes and what he advices them to do the most when it comes to optimizing their performance.

Succeeding in sports is all about the right blend of talent and the things talent cannot buy. We like to call them intangibles.

This is why many talented young athletes often find out later in their careers that there’s more to succeeding in sports than just having the talent.

We’ve seen athletes with the talent that haven’t gone far in their careers.

And we’ve seen athletes without talent who have gone on to do great things.

So it takes more than just talent. It takes a blend of talent and those intangibles I mentioned.

When you’ve spent the better part of the last 25 years coaching elite college athletes, you’ll know a thing or two about finding that balance.

That’s where Sherri Coale comes in. Sherri is a hall of fame basketball coach who coached at the University of Oklahoma for 25 years.

Many of her student athletes would go on to grace the courts of the WNBA.

She is now a speaker and author inspiring the world with her story and journey. Her book Rooted To Rise
