Dr. Daniel Jacobsen is the founder of MindFit, helping coaches and parents build mentally tough athletes through proven sport psychology training. Daniel has spent 8 years working directly with high school, collegiate, and elite athletes not in a lab, not in an office, but on the court, in the locker room, and in the high-pressure moments that define seasons.On this episode Mike & Daniel discuss the impact of mental training on athletic performance. Jacobsen emphasizes the significance of meditation within teams, citing historical examples from the championship-winning squads of Phil Jackson, who employed meditation to enhance team cohesion and individual self-awareness. Jacobsen outlines the transformative process athletes undergo, not only in their sports but also in their personal lives, as they learn to prioritize their objectives and cultivate a diversified identity beyond athletics. Furthermore, he discusses the keys to achieving flow states in performance, highlighting the essential stages of struggle, release, flow, and recovery. Jacobson's insights provide invaluable guidance for athletes and coaches alike, aiming to foster both peak performance and personal development.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @hoopheadspod for the latest updates on episodes, guests, and events from the Hoop Heads Pod.Make sure you're subscribed to the Hoop Heads Pod on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts and while you're there please leave us a 5 star rating and review.

For nearly 40 years, Jeff Troesch has worked behind the scenes with NBA players, MLB All-Stars, Olympic medalists, and national championship programs.He's coached athletes at every Olympic Games since 1988, helped shape the mental systems at IMG Academy, and consulted for USA Track & Field.In 2025, he distilled 150 mental performance lessons into one book: One Day Better.Jeff doesn't preach positive thinking, he teaches neutral thinking. His approach encourages athletes to define what "one day better" looks like for each specific session, preventing the overwhelm that comes from fixating on long-term goals. Adaily decision, not a distant destination.Jeff's career path wasn't linear. After a marketing degree from Washington State University and four years as Media Relations Director for the Seattle SuperSonics, he returned to school for an advanced degree in sports psychology. He launched his performance career in 1987 as an NBA consultant, later expanding into MLB with the Mariners and Tigers."One Day Better" isn't a slogan: it's a system. Whether you're chasing an Olympic Trials qualifier, a high school PR, or just trying to stay consistent when life feels chaotic, the mental game is the game. You don't need to win the season today. You just need to win the day.Tap into the Jeff Troesch Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word“PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen.

Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes, host of the Female Athlete Nutrition Podcast, welcomes returning guest Dr. Kate Bennett, a clinical sports psychologist, licensed Way of Champions trainer, and multiple-time national champion, to discuss her new venture, Full Send Consulting. Bennett explains that while her mental health practice (Athlete Insight) continues, Full Send was created to address the systemic gap between education about eating disorders/RED-S and rising prevalence rates by shifting from individual treatment to team- and coach-focused culture change. She outlines the Way of Champions philosophy—rooted in Eastern thought, mindfulness, values, and transformational (rather than transactional) coaching—emphasizing psychological safety, purpose, belonging, and eliminating fear-based scarcity mindsets to help teams become protective factors for athlete wellbeing. Lindsey connects these concepts to nutrition, RED-S prevention, and team-wide fueling standards, sharing an example of value-based work with a university equestrian team. They discuss how teammates and coaches influence culture, the importance of trust and accountability, and how athletes—including alternates—contribute to team success through relationships. Bennett describes how Full Send Consulting works with teams and one-on-one with coaches in customizable formats (one-day intensives to season-long support) and serves youth, high school, college, and professional teams in person, virtually, and via travel. Kate Bennett, PsyD, is a clinical sport psychologist. She is the reigning 2024 Downhill Masters National Champion in addition to being a two-time national track cycling champion. Prior to her clinical training, Dr. Bennett was an athletic trainer and cycling coach. She combines her sport experiences and clinical expertise to treat athletes recovering from eating disorders, disordered eating, exercise dependency, and REDs. Dr. Bennett authored "Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders."

Dr. Brenna Chirby and Dr. Virginia Jones are licensed psychologists with over 20 years of combined experience in private practice. Dr. Chirby began her career as a Sports Psychologist at a major university athletic department. Together, they have built strong reputations helping teens and adults overcome mental health challenges.Drawing from both their clinical expertise and their personal experience as mothers of three athletic children each—who competed from youth sports through elite club and collegiate levels—they founded MindBalanceSPORT. Their unique approach combines traditional mental health strategies with practical mental performance training to help young athletes develop a healthier mindset and achieve optimal performance.After years of watching the intense “do more, be better, win at all costs” culture in youth sports—and noticing that no coach ever offered mental training across more than 20 teams—they created MindBalanceSPORT to fill this critical gap. They have seen far too many young athletes drop out due to stress, disengagement, lack of enjoyment, and injuries caused by overtraining.ParentShift course 30% OFF with the code TRIBE.

Fresh off Indiana's historic football National Championship, Moles is uniquely positioned to tell you what truly lies behind the “championship culture” you often hear discussed in the media.Embedded inside an athletic department, Moles occupies a rare hybrid role.

Pressure doesn't arrive politely. It doesn't wait for confidence. It shows up when something matters.For sports psychologist Dr Lisa Martin, the work isn't about removing pressure or silencing the mind. It's about understanding what happens when the moment tightens — and staying available rather than overwhelmed.Through her work with elite athletes, including Ironman champion Ali Day, she's seen how hypnosis, imagery, language, and expectation shape performance long before the moment arrives. The words used in preparation often become the voice people hear under pressure.Pressure doesn't ask you to feel ready. It asks what you've trained.2:00 Imagery with Ali Day & why language matters10:00 Hypnosis, pain, and what's misunderstood17:00 What “being ready” really means — and why most people aren't22:00 Pressure as a storm: run from it or step into it30:00 ACT vs CBT and why acceptance beats control38:00 Working with negative thoughts, values, and simple frameworks51:00 Why mental skills must be trained early — and simplified under pressureWatch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88llj5YVcO4&t=2sFind Dr Lisa Martin at: Level One Psychology — https://www.levelonepsychology.com/ LinkedIn — https://au.linkedin.com/in/lisa-martin-phd-506067a Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that overallemployment for Sports Psychologists is projected to grow by 7% from 2023 to2033, which is faster than the average for all occupations. On average, about13,000 job openings for psychologists are expected each year over the nextdecade. Many of these openings will stem from the need to replace workers whoare transferring to different occupations or exiting the labor force, such asthrough retirement. Sports psychologist Scott Goldman, PhD, consultingperformance psychologist for the Golden State Warriors,  highlights that while elite athletes arevaluable performers, they are also human beings like anyone else. “I see myrole as a psychologist within a sports organization as being an embedded360-degree resource,” he explains, serving athletes, coaches, and front officemanagers who are responsible for talent evaluation and staff onboarding. Goldman was one of the first clinically trainedpsychologists to become an integral part of both college and professionalsports organizations. His early full-time positions at the NCAA level includedroles at the University of Arizona and the University of Michigan. He has alsoworked with professional teams such as the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions,and has consulted for the Washington Wizards and Chicago Cubs. One of Goldman'skey achievements is the development of the Athletic Intelligence Quotient (AIQ)assessment tool, which measures the performance-specific cognitive traits thatcontribute to athletic success. He collaborated with James Bowman, PsyD, fromthe Albert Ellis Institute in New York City, on the AIQ for 15 years before itwas published in 2012. The test, described in a 2020 article in the New YorkTimes Magazine as “a comprehensive user's manual to an elite athlete's brain,”is utilized by the NCAA and various professional sports teams, as well asinternational clubs and first responder departments. Goldman's team defines intelligence as “the ability toacquire, process, and apply information.” Drawing from the Cattell-Horn-Carrolltheory of intelligence, Goldman and Bowman sought to define the cognitiveabilities that are most relevant in navigating the complex challenges ofsports: “We viewed sport as a constantly mutating puzzle and asked ourselves,‘What cognitive abilities are most impactful in solving that?'” Goldmanrecalls. Over the past decade, awareness of the importance ofprotecting athletes' mental health has significantly increased. Goldmancontributed to the 2013 National Athletic Trainers Association's consensusstatement on addressing psychological concerns among college athletes and waspart of the mental health task force that established "bestpractices" for the NCAA in 2016. In 2019, both the NBA and NFL beganrequiring teams to provide regular access to behavioral health clinicians attheir facilities, leading many NFL teams to hire psychologists for thispurpose. Goldman joined me this week to share more insights on these importantdevelopments. For more information: https://aiq.team/  Email: sgoldman@aiq.team LinkedIn: @ScottGoldmanPh.D
