Being ready to perform as an athlete is more than just being ready physically. Mental preparation is key to not just a successful performance but also key to coming back from a poor performance.
In this episode, Dr. Lennie Waite shares the importance of mental preparation for athletic endeavors. She talks about her own journey from childhood soccer to switching sports in college to running professionally and running at the Olympics in 2016. She shares how coaches influenced her mindset towards competition and goal setting.
We talk about the correlation between sports and life - how the ups and downs of sports can prepare us for the challenges that life brings. As Lennie says, it's about accepting the challenges that come up in order to reach the goal that's been set.
