RISE & Shine

Does your Mindset change whether you are in an individual sport or a team sport? This week I sit down with National Team Softball Player, Eloise Tribolet. Eloise grew up in France competing in Rhythmic Gymnastics from the age of 4 until she began playing softball at 15. We often talk about out individual mindset but how does your mindset shift from being an invididual sport athlete (like a gymnast) to playing on a team? Listen to find out about Eloise's journey.

How do you define yourself post athletics? Does that definition relate to what you do, or who you are. On this episode, I sit down with Cory Camp, founder of Forever Athlete, and organization that exists to connect and nourish former athletes. through their digital community platform, captain led in-person events around the world, and Away Games. Cory focuses on what it means to be in a state of flow and how struggle is crucial to gaining skills. Just like a plant that needs to be uprooted because it grew out of its pot, humans continually do the same thing as we learn and grow.

Have you ever stopped to think of how you introduce yourself? Hi, my name is _________ and I do ___________.Most times we introduce ourselves with our name and what we do. We tie our value to the success we see in sport, work, or life. In this episode, Devon Brookshire, RISE Coach and Professional Basketball Player, shares her story about transition and burnout. She talks about how the best gage of adequate rest is the feeling of joy to be back in the game. We dive deep into what it means to be more than an athlete and how you can find your outlet both in and out of sport.

“I look at community as the oxygen that sustains someone's fire or passion for something. It's hard to continually be the one to pick yourself up so surrounding yourself with good community is important. A good community can challenge but also encourage you.” On this weeks episode I sit down with Maxime Rooney to talk about the power of community. We dive into the way that community in sport and outside of sport are so important to growth and life. Maxime also shares his perspective after retiring from swimming just a few weeks ago.

A soccer ball made from rubber bands and cloth, bare feet, a trophy made from bottle caps collected by the neighborhood kids - this is how Nobel's love for soccer began.

Imagine this. You stand on a podium, national anthem playing, the whole world is focused on you. For that moment, it's what you dreamed of, making it on the Olympic podium with a medal around your neck. You step off the podium and boom, you realize that your career is complete. This is familiar for Olympians Rebecca Soni and Caroline Burckle. But, what may seem like the end of a story was only just the beginning. This week we hear the untold story of RISE Athletes. What Caroline & Rebecca did as athletes that made them stand out from the rest didn't solely have to do with technique in the pool, but rather what was going on in their body and their minds. This journey is about RISING UP. And, we are proud to have a team that is on a mission to change the world alongside us.

There is a common misconception that the physical training and technique work in sport is the most important. It can be thought that how you play the game or win the race depends on your physical skill. On this week's episode, Mallory Comerford, professional swimmer & MindPower Coach, talks about her journey with mindset work and how it has changed the game for her both in and out of the pool. Mallory talks transition, identity, and about her experience working with athletes through RISE's MindPower Coaching Program.
