On today's episode of the Demystifying Mental Toughness Podcast, I was delighted to be joined by Dr. Bob Winters, an internationally recognised sport psychologist who has supported US Men's and Women's Open Golf Champions and many other elite professional and amateur athletes across a variety of sports. In the episode we discuss sport psychology in golf and the field as a whole. We also chat about grit and many elements of mental toughness and how they apply to our work in supporting golfers to get the most out of their skills and abilities. Key Learning Points: Anxiety and stress are always the killers of any type of athletic movement, especially in sports using perceptual motor skills such as golf.  For the Leadbetter Golf Academy at Champions Gate in Orlando, I provide a lot of information for all our academy golf instructors. My process is helping each person develop a personal playing philosophy. “The first question I would ask you, David, in relation to your golf - Are you good?” We need to get out of realistic thinking or probability thinking and look to encourage possibility thinking. Giving our best effort every day and on every shot is under our control  Every putt can be made, no matter the distance. Every putt deserves to be made.

Coach Tarman is a former Division I volleyball player at Kansas State who has been a head coach for Papillion La-Vista South high school for the past three seasons. The title of one of Meatloaf's songs fits her head coaching journey fairly well-Two Out of Three Ain't Bad! We discuss her journey as a former player, including one of her regrets. We discuss the last three seasons that have included two State Championships and how she trains them to max out when it matters the most. Her 2021 team went undefeated, and the success of that team will certainly stand the test of time and go down as one of the best in Nebraska's high school history. You will love her insights and the wonderful nuggets she shares to help high performers max out in life and sport.

In this episode, Coach Katie continues her series on how to be creative and bring a new perspective to a problem you may be facing.

This week's solo episode is part two where I build on last week's episode and share 4 more ideas and further resources to help footballers who come across the challenge of being released from football clubs.  It's a naturally difficult time for the player and their family where their motivation and mental health can be tested.  My ideas relate to how a mentally tough player would likely view the situation and how you can develop your mental toughness and bounce back positively from the setback.   Key Learning Points See yourself as a worthwhile person. If you have some unanswered questions for the coaching staff, make sure you ask them. Create some goals to work towards. Don't allow setbacks to distract you from your long term goals.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.   This   encourages a focus on achieving a clear sense of your own identity. It is an important part of mental toughness in that you create real clarity for yourself and those around you, about who you are and what you stand for. This self-awareness helps you develop some principles and boundaries that help you take control of your own destiny. Being a first-rate version of yourself builds your resilience. It helps you respond appropriately when you encounter situations that you are uncomfortable with. It provides you with an anchor when you feel lost or overwhelmed. Mental Toughness

In this sports psychology podcast, Dr. Cohn helps a soccer player understand the importance of team communication to achieve success. In addition, he highlights the mindset of moving on from past mistakes and staying in the moment of the game. In this episode, Dr. Cohn Answers a question from Lee who had to say this about this about his game: LEE: "I play goalie on my soccer league team. I am wanting to improve my inner game. Sometimes I have games where I shut down. I get quiet and don't communicate with my team well. I also make unnecessary errors that could be avoided if my mind was right.

Today, I sit down with the CEO of US Corporate Wellness who has completed 11 Ironmans, has PhD in Performance Psychology, was recognized as "The World's Fittest CEO" in 2016, and is a co-founder of the Catalyst Coaching Institute, Dr. Bradford Cooper. In our initial talk, Dr. Bradford exposes how he coaches his clients and explains what a wellness coach really does. He then shares his thoughts about "coaches" who only tell you what to do to reach your goal. Dr. Bradford also shares his experiences in working with different people which proves that there's no same solution for different persons. He emphasizes that results and solutions are completely individualized. Before we get to the last part, we touch down talking about the research he'd been part of about sleep and mental toughness for athletes. He also tells me what motivation interviewing and intrinsic motivation are. So hit the play button to learn more!

Like most critical aspects of health, stress can be a double-edged sword. It's necessary for physical and emotional growth, and we all know that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. However, too much stress can do far more damage than even a poor diet or a sedentary lifestyle. The trick seems to be embracing the right kinds of stress in the right doses, and under those conditions, it can be a catalyst for improved strength and resilience. ​Today for the second instalment of our Health Fundamental series, NBT coaches Megan Hall and Clay Higgins are examining stress and hormesis. They talk about simple biomarkers to help you measure your current allostatic load and then they discuss simple, practical things anyone can do to better manage emotional stress. They also discuss how to use hormesis - intentional and measured amounts of stressors like temperature, exercise, diet, and breathing, to boost your body's functioning while becoming better adapted and stronger. To get all the details and studies supporting the information in this podcast, be sure to follow along with Megan's outline for this episode.

The highest performers in all walks of life have taken full ownership. They got to where they are and have stayed there because they have chosen to establish, tweak and repeat positive habits. They understand that you can't be selective when it comes to excellence, that how we do anything is how we do everything.Sustain Your Game teaches you how to bring your A game to every area of your life.

Dr. Brian Glibkowski is an author and researcher passionate about the role of questions and answers in business and society. His journey started with his research on questions. He authored an article on questions that has been recognized by the Association of Human Resource Development as one of ten articles that will shape the 21st century. During his research on questions, one simple observation stopped him in his tracks. We know a lot about questions. We know very little about answers. In grade school we teach children about questions, not answers. Our children learn about the six wh-questions (why, what when, where, who, how) and they learn about open and closed questions. There is no typology of answers we teach our children. Journalists, physicians, sales reps, executive coaches, and almost all professionals are trained in questions, not answers. Business books with question in the title outnumber books with answer in the title 3 to 1. His new book Answer Intelligence: Raise Your AQ is nominated for a 2022 PROSE award which celebrates landmark works in professional and scholarly publishing.

Today, I'm joined by a former international cricketer and Senior Leadership Coach, Jeremy Snape.  We go on to discuss mental toughness in cricket, the pressures of playing at the international level in front of thousands of spectators, as well as looking at the relationship between sport performance and business. Enjoy tuning in! Key Learning Points: Our brains are built for safety, to keep us safe. Being calm, patient and instinctive are skills that can be developed and help us perform to our maximum. A “one ball at a time mentality” is helpful - focusing on making the next moment as high quality as we can. Counting and breathing techniques can refocus our mind. Consider setting transformational goals, to stretch yourself and others.

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker, one of the most reputable blood testing companies in the world. They were founded in 2009 by aging, genetics, and biometrics scientists to help you analyze your body's data and get a firm idea of how well you're responding to training. Understanding your body's biomarkers, from stress hormones to testosterone to Vitamin D, can help you figure out if you're over-training, under-training, optimally training, or if you have a health issue that might be affecting your running. But the best part is that they give you personalized optimal ranges for each of these biomarkers and a host of ways to improve these markers through diet, lifestyle, or exercise changes. I've personally gotten three Ultimate tests from them and the process is simple, easy, and very eye-opening if you haven't done a deep dive on your biomarkers yet.  Of all the investments you can make in your running, this one is like getting a detailed checkup or regularly scheduled maintenance for your internal physiology.  If you're ready to take control of your health and optimize your training, get 25% off any of their blood tests with code STRENGTHRUNNING at InsideTracker.
