Mindset Coach Academy Podcast: Recent Episodes
Lindsey Wilson
Welcome to The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I’m Lindsey Wilson, former pro athlete, high-performance mindset coach, and entrepreneur and here we’ll dive into everything mindset. I have lived all these mindset tools- as an athlete, a business owner, a mom, a human. And together, you and I will sit in the student chair and study mindset. We’ll work on our own mindset and even talk about how to build a mindset coaching business if that’s your thing. With experts in the field, athletes, coaches, and other high-performance individuals, we are going to nerd out on the mental side of the game.
This podcast is all about being a student of mindset. We believe mindset work isn’t about fixing or changing, it’s becoming more of who you were always meant to be. Here we work on our mindset. The good stuff, the hard stuff, the stuff most people won’t do.
We have officially changed our name from The Inner Game to The Mindset Coach Academy podcast because we are specifically looking to grow as coaches and students of mindset.
We’ll interview top experts in the field and high-achieving individuals about how mindset has brought them success, as well as dive deep into mindset training. New episodes will drop every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, as well as short 5-minute episodes every Mental Monday.
Our first two guests are badass female Olympians successful on the playing field and rocking it off the field as well.
We’ll start off with former Olympic Volleyball Player Courtney Thompson.
I used to dream of playing D1 basketball. I would lay awake at night, imagining myself wearing the uniform, doing the drills, and playing at that level… but it was just out of reach. I was nowhere near where I needed to be, and I knew the problem was in my head.
Then my mom hired me a mental performance coach, and everything changed.
This episode goes through everything - from my origin story as an athlete, to how I built my business.
I get into:
- How I went from underperforming in high school to playing professionally all over the world
- Life-changing wise words from my mentors throughout my career
- How I found my first clients and built my first mental training program
- The many challenges of being early in the field of mental training
- How failures became building blocks to my success
More than anything, this episode is about how mental training changed my life and set me on a path that I couldn’t be more proud of.

Critiquing vs. criticizing your performance is an essential part of getting better at ANYTHING.
But as athletes, so many of us are really hard on ourselves, and with that comes a huge resistance to really looking at ourselves. For me, watching film was excruciating, I did it anyway, but I was relentlessly hard on myself.
In today's episode, I'll share how you can create a system of critiquing without judgement. Without this system, I would never have played basketball at the level I played.

Are you carrying the weight of self-blame? I launch this Mental Monday with a quick mindset check-in.
A key characteristic of athletes and high performers is HIGH STANDARDS. These are the same high standards that fuel late workouts, final sprints to the finish, and fierce competitiveness. But the dark side of high standards is often shame. Shame when you miss a shot, don't make the starting lineup, or let down the team.
But what if it didn't have to be this way? What if you could have high standards without shame?
Enjoy this Mental Monday! And don't forget to subscribe to be alerted when new episodes drop!

Episode Bio
Stacey Dales has an impressive sports resume, playing for the Canadian National Team in the Olympics and earning all-american status at Oklahoma. Collecting so many awards along the way, she was drafted 3rd into the WNBA, and went on to expand her repertoire as a reporter for ESPN. This all-around powerhouse is currently killing it as a reporter for NFL network.
In addition to her iconic career in sports, Stacey leads with humor and kindness (I’ll give her a pass for a little gametime trashtalk). Although we met as opponents, I have always looked up to Stacey. She’s had her eye on the prize since I’ve known her and bleeds integrity into everything she does, making her an inspiration to myself and so many others. As a prominent sports reporter, this woman is paving the way for future generations of female game players and reporters, and I truly can’t think of a better role model.
From start to finish, Stacey’s interview is full of tough-love nuggets of wisdom, honest reflections, and refreshing humility. To have the opportunity to turn the tables on an expert interviewer and put her in the hotseat was an absolute pleasure.
You can follow Stacey on IG @staceydales and watch her kick butt as a reporter for the NFL Network!
Here’s a glance at this episode:
[3:08] Lindsey introduces Stacey Dales, former Olympian and current sideline reporter for the NFL
[8:04] “I believe that champions are made when nobody’s watching” and “confidence comes from demonstrated ability”. Stacey shares what both of these phrases mean to her and how her mindset training as an athlete informs her career today.
[10:18] Stacey describes how she’s learned to embrace fear and shares her process for preparing her mind for high pressure assignments.
[13:30] What’s an NFL reporter’s mental training routine like? From physical workouts, to memory hacks, and an intricate storytelling ritual, Stacey lets us in on her secrets to success.
[16:25] We all self-sabotage. It’s human nature. But once you have awareness around all the ways you self-sabotage, you reclaim your power.
[18:30] You can both expect greatness and expect that failure will happen. Learning to live with human imperfections and high expectations isn’t always easy, but learning to see your imperfections with grace can fuel greatness.
[22:25] Stacey makes a case for simplicity; i.e. creating guidelines and routines that reflect your natural strengths and support the success you want to see in your life.
[24:53] What are the most joyful moments of Stacey’s job? Her vulnerable answer includes the very real responsibility of telling other people’s stories and the pride she feels for being a woman in sports today.
[27:40] Lindsey and Stacey chat about kindness, putting in the work, and always delivering early. And wrap up their episode by discussing Stacey’s next steps in work and life and the importance of self-grace.

Despite what your badass, high-performance brain might want you to think, “effortless” is not a 4-letter word.
In this Mental Monday, I talk about the value of approaching change with a positive mindset. I challenge you to do more of what you're good at, and teach a simple thought exercise that will help.
If you want to make a change in your life, this Mental Monday will help you approach it with a powerful, positive mindset.

Last fall, I recorded an episode all about 5 things that bring me joy. It was an outlier of an episode, and one that I had to be convinced to record, but I got a great response. Many of you told me that you enjoyed learning more about my personal life and what goes on behind the scenes as a mom and business owner. It’s been about a year since that episode, so I figured it was time for life update #2!
This episode is centered around 3 things I’m into right now. As I chat about each one, some deeper themes come up, including:
- How creating things with your hands can make you feel empowered and safe
- How often the simplest way is the best way.
- How It can be hard to get back into something you were once great at - (and why the reward is worth the discomfort).
If a life update isn’t what you’re looking for, go ahead and skip this episode. But if you want to hear more about my life, press play and join me for a chat!

As social creatures, we want to stay with the pack and fit in with the people around us. It's an evolutionary quality, and something that has kept us (especially women) safe throughout history.
But this has a ripple effect. In some ways, it's positive, and in other ways, this need for belonging could be holding you back.
This Mental Monday will challenge the way you think about the everyday choices you make.

Despite goal setting becoming super mainstream over the last decade, most of what you hear about it just barely scratches the surface.
Sure, breaking down your goals, building vision boards, and learning to manifest is great, but what happens when you don’t feel like getting out of bed? What happens on weeks when you lose the spark and motivation to achieve your goals? Is the payoff of your goals really worth what it’s going to take to get there?
When you rely on mainstream goal setting techniques you leave yourself vulnerable to all the real life shit that makes it hard for anyone, even the most disciplined people in the world, to make real, lasting change.
So in today’s episode, we’re going to dig deep. We’ll talk about:
- Planning for discomfort (before you feel it)
- Emotional goals - and why they motivate your subconscious
- What it means to break down you goals into numbers (and why it matters)
- Negative visualization and the Worst Case Scenario exercise
- The #1 question you should ask yourself when you set a goal
-
- So much more.
If you have a big goal, whether that’s to start a business, make the Olympic team, or move out of the country, this episode breaks down 6 key questions that will give you the absolute best shot of taking your goal from a dream to a reality.
Listen to the full episode for context, and come back to these 6 questions whenever you need them.
8 KEY QUESTIONS FOR GOAL SETTING
Let’s say your goal is to get in shape, here’s how you might answer these 8 questions.
1. How will achieving this goal change your life? I’ll have more energy in the morning to play with my kids, I’ll feel strong and able to do the activities I love. It may help my mental health.
2. What is the (literal and figurative) cost of my goal? The cost of gym memberships, a workout program, and healthier groceries. The social cost of not going out for food and drinks as often.
3. What can I do to increase the likelihood of my success in this goal? Getting a trainer, planning ahead, getting friends on board, getting a babysitter, meal planning, joining a meal delivery service.
4:What are some numbers behind the goal? Are they realistic? # of hours I’ll work out every week, $ of a membership/training, # of months to achieve my goal, # on a scale.
5. What is the best case scenario and what is the worst case scenario? Will it be worth it either way? Best case is I hit my goal and I feel great! Worst is I try and don’t hit my goal, but I get closer to it, and I make some healthy changes along the way.
6. Who am I going to become in this process? I get to become the person who shows up for myself and works at what I want, I get to become someone who works hard even when I don’t feel like it. I get to become someone who sets an example for my athletes and my kids.
7. What will I need from others?I’ll need someone else to walk the dog so I can make a healthy breakfast, I’ll need someone else to make dinner so we don’t order out as much. I’ll need someone to pick up the kids so I can go to the gym.
8. What’s my plan when I get off course? When I get off course, I’ll journal about my goal and re-commit to it. I’ll reach out to my accountability buddy and schedule a workout.

This month in the Insider Program, we are going through a challenge that is designed to get us over our fear of rejection. It's about not letting our ego control our actions, and about interrupting thought patterns that work hard to keep us small.

One of my coaches used to have this thing he called "The 5 Minute Rule". I come back to this rule anytime I don't want to do something.
For example, when I'm feeling sluggish and don't want to work out, when I'm uninspired and don't want to work, or when I feel overwhelmed about cleaning my house. And 9 times out of 10, it snaps me out of my slump and gets me moving.
Tune in to today's Mental Monday to learn all about "The 5 Minute Rule"

Today I am diving into something called The Motivation Triad.
The motivation triad basically says that your brain won’t waste energy on something that it doesn’t believe is going to work out.
Now, this manifested in my own life recently in a silly way, where I was struggling to figure out a new app and gave up, not realizing the solution was right in front of me. And I see it manifesting in the lives of my students as they build their businesses. Honestly, you can see the effects of The Motivation Triad everywhere and in your own life, once you understand what it is.
I highly recommend you listen to the full podcast, and remember this key takeaway: Before you decide to give up on something, whether it’s using a new app, or building a business, or working on any new skill, remind yourself to keep looking for a solution, even if one isn’t obvious right away.
Because the second you stop looking for a solution, that’s the moment you stop being curious. And when you stop being curious, it’s over. your creativity will shut down and you’ll get stuck in your own blindspots.

What makes you feel STRONG?
What makes you feel powerful, like you can tackle anything, like you can take on the world?
Personally, for me, it's exercise. Specifically, it's pushing myself by lifting heavy weights. It not only makes me feel strong, it makes me feel sane.
Today on the podcast I'm challenging you to think about the thing that makes you feel strong and to make time to do it in your life more often.
Maybe for you it's exercise, or maybe, it's a deep conversation with your partner, eating healthy, intentional alone time, learning a new skill, doing something that scares you, or taking time for self-care.
For more on this, check out today's Mental Monday on the pod!

When people ask me "What's the easiest way to get started with Mental Training?" The mistake ritual is one of the first tools I recommend.
The Mistake Ritual is a lifeline for competitive athletes (and coaches). It's a way to center yourself in the middle of chaos - after a mistake, when the ref makes a bad call, when you're distracted by the weather or someone in the stands, etc. It's a very simple tool that can completely transform your mindset and your confidence in competition.
In today's Mental Monday, I'm sharing a story about a time I used the Mistake Ritual (and it made a massive difference). I end the episode with a full breakdown about how this tool works, and why it is massively important (and how you can implement it)
Mistake Ritual Magic Workshop: This course is a 30 minute online video workshop that will prepare you with everything you need to teach your athletes how to bounce back from mistakes in competition: www.positiveperformancetraining.com/mistake-ritual

My interview earlier this year with Positive Psychologist, Chris DeSantis was such a goldmine that I immediately asked him to come present to our Insider Mastermind to teach them about positive psychology.
In our first episode together, Chris introduced positive psychology, but we really just scratched the surface. I’m thrilled to say that this episode goes so much deeper and leaves you with so many actionable ways to better help your athletes.
In this episode, Chris dives deep into his positive psychology philosophies. As the first person to get his advanced degree in Positive Psychology, he has a unique, valuable, even revolutionary perspective on just about everything related to mental training. Chris shares personal stories and examples of his coaching, and shows what it’s really like to take a client through negative visualization. He even shares the script he uses with athletes so that you can start using this tool right away in your own coaching practice. And since we were live on a coaching call with The Insider Mastermind, he answers loads of real questions from real mindset coaches.
This episode is robust enough to listen to on it’s own, and is also a great follow up to our first interview together, so tune in and let me know on IG @lindseypositiveperform what you think of the episode!

Here’s a glance at the episode…
[0:55] Chris starts the episode by talking about some of the positive psychology concepts (like “growth mindset”) that have gone mainstream, and how these interpretations fall short.
[3:30] Classical psychology asks, “What’s wrong here, and how do we fix it? Positive psychology asks “What is the situation, and where is the opportunity?”
[6:06] Why do people practice visualization? Chris explains the value of visualization, and how it helps the human brain prepare for high stakes situations.
[8:46] There are a lot of unwitting disciples of BF Skinner, The King of Behaviorism. Chris believes humans are more complex than these studies are able to measure. Chris talks about how behaviorism feeds oversimplified assumptions about visualization.
[13:58] If your goal is to NOT think about something, you’ve set an impossible goal. Chris gives a “white bear” analogy that proves his point.
[17:54] Chris describes what’s happening in your brain during fight or flight, and how he helps to coach swimmers through the “worst case scenario”.
[20:15] Chris shares a specific example of working with an athlete and how he utilized negative visualization to help her move through her fears proactively.
[24:53] Sharing personal examples, Chris talks about a situation with a swimmer, one challenge of working with young athletes, and the importance of keeping everything in perspective.
[31:35] Bianca asks how Chris handles athletes who say “I don’t know” in response to his questions. Chris talks about his background in sports media and what it taught him about getting information out of athletes (like Michael Phelps).
[34:59] Lindsey shares a different way she has used negative visualization as an athlete, and the way she teaches it today.
[39:39] Lindsey and Chris discuss the role of negative visualization in calming the nervous system. Chris answers some questions from the group, starting with one student that asks if negative visualizations should be followed up with positive visualizations.
[45:40] The Insider Mastermind students are challenged to come up with a metaphor to help athletes release feelings after going through a negative visualization.
[47:36] Chris chats about his understanding of the relationship between Michael Phelps and his coach. A student asks how Chris finishes a negative visualization session with an athlete. Chris explains his intuitive approach, and relates to feeling nervous about using negative visualization as a coach.
[51:39] Lindsey wraps up the episode with a quick chat about fear of failure, how to anticipate obstacles, and how anxiety can increase by ignoring the worst case scenario. Chris shares his contact information and plugs his podcast, The Swim Brief.
NEGATIVE VISUALIZATION - SCRIPT
Ask your athelte to sit down and prepare to visualize. Then move through the following questions:
- What is the worst that could happen?
- How will I feel if that happens?
- What will happen next?
Continue to ask “what will happen next” until you get to the existential question.
The purpose of this exercise is:
- To be able to relay to the subconscious, “We’ve thought it all the way through, you don’t need to bring it up anymore”.
- To validate yourself emotionally by telling yourself, “It makes sense that I’m worried about this.”
- For you, as a coach, to understand the root of the issue to better coach them up.

Mental Mondays are designed to give you one tip, tool, or technique that you can implement this week.
Today, I dropped my daughter off at soccer camp. My daughter was nervous to go, which is normal for her on the first day of camp. This got me to thinking about FEAR, and when we should listen to it vs. when we should get over it.
Tune into today's episode where I'll share the advice I gave to my daughter. Moreover, I'll talk about how the same principle can be applied to anything you're afraid of.

How many times in your career have you really gotten support or structure to help you coach the mental game?
You have athletes that struggle with confidence. You have athletes that get injured and have to be benched. You have athletes that get super nervous before games. This is a normal part of coaching, and a huge part of your job. And as a coach, I know you’re doing your best. So many of us try to solve problems as they come up, but, even with the best of intentions, this can create an unhealthy and overwhelming dynamic where athletes lean on us more than they should.
If you feel like you are running around putting out fires, it’s time to set up a sprinkler system.
It’s time to help your athletes help themselves!
In today’s episode, I’m talking about the very real impact of coaching (which almost makes me tear up because it’s so freaking important). Most importantly, I am teaching you 6 foundational pieces to help you coach the mental game.
What I teach in this episode has the power to transform and strengthen your team. These foundational tools will help your athletes to manage their own nerves, confidence, disappointment, etc. so that they are more empowered, and you are freed up to coach at a higher level.
In case no one ever set you up for success with a mental training toolbox, I’m giving it to you today!
You can read a bunch of books, and listen to podcasts, and google topics on the internet, AND still have no idea what to teach on a Tuesday afternoon. My goal for this episode is for you to walk away with an understanding of everything you need to coach the mental game.
Because you deserve a system!

In this Mental Monday, I am giving you one simple question that you can ask yourself to help you take control of where you place your energy.
This is a question I've been asking myself constantly (thanks to my therapist!) and it has helped me a ton. I know it can help you too.
This episode is a reminder that sometimes the simplest mental hacks are the easiest to implement, and end up making the biggest difference.

In today's episode, I will explain the physiology of nerves and share 3 tips to help you manage your physical and mental response.

What can you do when you know your schedule is about to shift?
Perhaps you’re about to go into a season of chaos like a job change, summer vacation, the holidays, starting a business, or going back to school. Or maybe you’re about to quit your job, take maternity leave, or go on vacation and you know you’ll suddenly have a lot of time off (maybe too much time).
I’ve experienced both sides of this. As a former professional athlete and mom of 4, I will say, I’m much more comfortable with chaos than I am with days and days of free time. And when I don’t plan ahead and set myself up for success, I can come out of the other end feeling really s*.
If you are about to enter either a busy season without a plan, it’s really easy to end up in a shame cycle which can erode your confidence and make you feel like you don’t know how to manage your time. Planning ahead can totally change your experience and remind you that you are in control!
This is a marathon, not a sprint. And you’ll find that it’s way easier to stay steady and keep the momentum going by planning ahead.
Listen to the full episode for context, and come back to the 3 step outline below whenever you need it.
Step 1: Fight for your time. Don’t let decisions get made for you.
Q: What do I need to do to create space in my life this summer?
Q: What would having that time mean to me?
Q: How would it feel?
Step 2: Commit to less than you think you can actually get done. And overcommit to those few things. i.e. Come hell or high water, I WILL do these 3 things.
Q: What do you actually want/need to accomplish?
Q: What do you need to do to make sure it gets done?
Q: How will you mark your progress along the way?
Q: How can you clarify the path forward for yourself?
Step 3: Schedule mindset work. Your mindset work is the key to aligning your thoughts and your actions with what you want.
Q: How will regular mindset work help you?
Q: How will you feel at the end of this season when you’ve stuck to your plan?

I had the great pleasure of interviewing The Bodacious Brotherhood. The BB came together in The Mindset Coach Academy Certification when they were randomly assigned to the same small group.
I always say that you “get out of the small group what you put into it”, and these men showed what’s possible when you cut the bullshit, get vulnerable, and put it all on the table.
I first noticed this group had a special bond when they started calling each other out during our weekly big group calls. I knew I had to get this group of men on the podcast to talk about how they pushed past social norms to create this special group centered around radical honesty and vulnerability.
In the episode, we cover:
- The key moment early on that defined their team culture
- How rare it is to have vulnerable male friendships
- Advice for men wanting to develop deeper relationships
- The massive ripple effect of accountability and support
If you’re interested in joining The MCA Certification, see what’s possible! Take a peek inside one of the most valuable pieces of the program: The small groups!

Here’s a glance at the episode…
[1:02] Lindsey introduces The “Bodacious Brotherhood”, and asks each one of the members to introduce themselves.
[5:17] Brandon explains where their group name comes from. As a group, they started with “belief” and grew from there. Brandon talks about how a family emergency created intense vulnerability in the group early on and how he used The BRAVR Method.
[10:17] John-Austin speaks on how the group approached working on themselves from a holistic perspective; wanting to be better fathers, husbands, business owners, and coaches.
[12:54] Brandon tells a story about a time he froze in the spotlight, and how the BB held him accountable. The group talks about how they helped each other remember their strengths how that forged a bond.
[17:10] Jeff shares how he believed “Iron sharpens iron” in the group. Lindsey asks Ken about his experience as an ongoing MCA team leader.
[22:26] The BB talks about the key moment in the group that forged emotional safety. They go on to share specific examples of times when the group’s accountability and coaching made a big difference.
[25:41] John-Austin talks about how rare it is to have vulnerable male friendships, and what the group has meant to him.
[27:56] Societal norms around male friendships make it hard to connect. Jeff talks about his intentional approach to creating mens groups.
[31:55] The BB speak on how you “get out of it what you put into it”, and how that mindset shaped the value of their weekly team meetings. Lindsey asks how this experience will help them as leaders moving forward.
[35:30] Ken identifies the transformational power and value of the small groups in The MCA Certification and the group wraps up by sharing their advice for men wanting to develop deeper connections.

When it comes to mental training, 97% of young athletes need to learn a few core principles to totally transform their game.
They don't need customized game plans, they don't need you as their coach to reinvent the wheel and create a curriculum for them. Most athletes will benefit immensely from learning just a few core principles.
In this Mental Monday, I'll give you everything you need to help your athletes faster using tools that already exist and are proven to work.
Press play to get started!

[THE MENTAL GAME PLAN]
Midway through The Mindset Coach Academy Certification, a lot of students start feeling behind. And it can be really discouraging.
If you are feeling behind, whether that's in your career, or relationship, or life in general, I encourage you to ask yourself this:
"What if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be?"
How might this question shift the way you think about yourself and the way you show up?

Can you help people… and make money?
Can you be a good person… and make money?
Can you make a real difference… and make money?
Money comes up a lot with my MCA students. And it’s rarely about counting dollars and cents. Money is symbolic, and a lot of us have a complicated relationship with it.
There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to choose whether or not to charge money as a mindset coach, and today, I’m coming in hot with 3 reasons why I believe you absolutely, 100%, no doubt about it, need to charge money as a mindset coach. Because you playing SMALL won’t inspire others to play BIG.
If you are on the fence or feel guilty about making money as a mindset coach, I URGE you to listen to this episode.

I recently took a trip to LA with my longtime friend, Brianne. We came across a booth on the promenade where people were asking moms to give advice.
I don't normally do things like this, but In this case, I was inspired to sit down and share one bit of advice I would give to my younger self. Back when I was just becoming a mom.
In today's Mental Monday, I'll share what I said, and (more importantly) what I learned from sharing it.
____________________
Another piece of advice I would give to parents is to start teaching your kids visualization!

Do you need to work on giving people grace? I know I do.
Today's episode is a reminder to myself that I can never really know what other people are going through.
👉🏻 That server that is taking forever with your check
👉🏻 👉🏻 The parent that's losing their patience with their kids
👉🏻 The person that just cut you off in traffic
Your brain will always prioritize your own experience which means that giving other people GRACE is something that takes practice.
💡What's one trigger for you? When do you need this reminder?
I'll go first 👉🏻 I need this reminder when I'm on the phone, stuck on hold, in customer service hell 😅

Monday mornings are for nerding out on mindset work!
My question for you today is: Is your subconscious on board with your goals?
There are so many ways to use mental training to align your subconscious with what you say you want, but one that we don't usually talk about it to think about the downside of achieving your goals.
Don't get me wrong, it's very important to spend time thinking about the upsides, and getting pumped about future you.
But even the most exciting goals have a downside.
Today on the podcast, I'm getting into it. I'm getting into the science, and into the practicality of what it looks like to clear out mental clutter so you can go for your goals 110%.
Tune in!
If you want to go for your goals, you have to pay attention to your limiting thoughts (we all have them). We all know exactly what to say to ourselves to keep us playing small. It's time to confront your inner haters so that they can no longer stand in your way: https://www.positiveperformancetraining.com/thoughts-that-keep-you-small

The word ego gets a bad rap.
But I would argue that great athletes and high performers NEED ego. We may never have the belief in ourselves or the GUTS to go for what we want without our egos.
In today's Mental Monday, I talk about how ego can drive us forward, or hold us back. Most importantly, you'll learn how to use your ego for good (not evil :)

COACH: Discovering and defining your core principles can be a game-changer!

Today, I share our 5 core principles. I hope that they help you the way they’ve helped me. Please, take them, leave them, use them, change them, and make them your own!

Is your smartphone running your life?
Listen, these things are designed to grab and hold your attention. They're like having a buzzing, blinking, ringing casino in your pocket.
Smartphones are so great in so many ways, but, when left unchecked, they can eat away at your time, confidence, productivity, and focus. I've learned this the hard way (haven't we all?) When I have no shot clock (i.e. no limits), I can be on it all day.
Today, I'm getting PRACTICAL about the reality of phone use. The 5 tips I'm sharing have helped me immensely to stay in control of my phone use without wasting energy on willpower alone.
Try these 5 simple tips!

Today's Mental Monday explores the question, "When (if ever) does it make sense to visualize the worst case scenario?"
This is a HUGE topic, and one that I can't fully cover in this short episode. There is no simple answer (and that's what makes it fun to talk about!)
Let me be very clear, I don't think it's healthy to seek out obstacles, or dwell on the negative stuff. You don't want to be careless when it comes to mindset work.
That's why in today's episode, I'm telling you why I believe visualizing the "worst case scenario" can be very healthy, put your mind at ease, and actually help you move TOWARD your goals.
Most importantly, I'll teach you HOW to visualize the worst case scenario in a way that won't have a negative impact.

Today on the podcast, Chris DeSantis is talking all about Positive Psychology!
Chris and I met a couple months ago when I was a guest on his podcast, The Swim Brief Podcast, and we had so much to talk about that I had to stop him and tell him to save it for this podcast!
Chris is the first athletic coach in the world to get an advanced degree in Positive Psychology (in 2009). Chris is the definition of a pioneer in his industry, and has brought the power of positive psychology to sports. He has been a swim coach his entire adult life and has a unique perspective and application that is so complimentary to what we teach at The Mindset Coach Academy.
If you’ve ever wondered what Positive Psychology is, or how to apply it to sports, you’re in the right place.
The cool thing about positive psychology is that none of it is specific to any particular sport. I’m certain that you will be able to apply what you learn in today’s episode to improve countless other areas of your life.
In this interview, Chris digs into the history of positive psychology, how it was founded in the late 90s and how it evolved from the field of psychology that (at the time) only really looked only at what is wrong with people. Chris teaches and entertains with a ton of personal stories, including a time he pissed off Princeton’s swimming and diving team, how exactly to embrace your fear of failure, and the vital role of negative visualization.
Let’s dive in!

Here’s a glance at the episode…
[1:40] Chris reveals how he was the first athletic coach in the world to get his advanced degree in Positive Psychology.
[3:15] Lindsey and Chris dig into the question, “What is positive psychology?” Chris explains why he’s excited about the question, and how the term can be misleading.
[6:51] The field of positive psychology has to work in tandem with pathology. Chris talks about the difference he’s noticed in his business from pre-covid to post-covid and how the world has started to embrace sports psychologists.
[11:03] Lindsey asks Chris to share some actionable things coaches can do to work positive psychology into their curriculum. Chris shares an experience he had where he turned something he loved into a miserable experience because of his fear of failure.
[16:14] Chris explains where ‘fear of failure’ really comes from. And why he’d love to have “a team full of athletes that fear failure.”
[21:47] Chris shares an example of a time he pissed off Princeton’s swimming and diving team. He then talks about why he believes we were all born with a ‘negativity bias’.
[26:30] What comes after ‘reframing’ failure? Chris makes the case for “negative visualization” and shares how it can actually calm your brain and prepare you for success.
[33:05] Failure creates empathy for the athletes you coach. Chris talks about a time that he failed during a presentation, and what he learned when he reached out to the coach for feedback.
[37:43] “If you’re a coach who wants to push people really hard, then positive psychology can really help.”

I think most of us would agree that jealousy is a negative thing.
When we feel it come up in ourselves, we either push it down, or dwell on it, or come up with reasons why that person's life is better because of their upbringing, or opportunities, or intelligence, socioeconomic status, genetics, or dumb luck.
I recently listened to this podcast by Jenna Kutcher who was interviewing communication specialist, Dori Clark.
She talked about how you can use jealousy in a healthy way. That episode is what inspired today's Mental Monday.
Listen to the episode to learn:💡the 1 question you need to ask yourself next time you feel jealous. And 💡 how you can actually benefit from the feeling of jealousy IF and only if you have the tools to navigate it.

Do you remember morning conditioning? Waking up at 5 AM to get yelled at by your coach and run sprints with your team in the rain (why was it always raining?).
Imagine all the energy it would have taken to wake up and do morning conditioning on your own. No team, no coach, just you relying on sheer willpower to create a workout plan, show up on time, and push yourself through your entire workout.
I don't care how dedicated you are, it is SO much harder to do it alone.
This is true for morning conditioning and it’s also true for entrepreneurship, parenthood, professional development... etc. etc.
Today on the podcast, I’m talking about the importance of finding community, especially in an area of your life where you want to excel.
After I left basketball, I didn’t even realize how much I missed having a community of people to lean on as I took on my next challenge of building a business. Finding a team is not easy outside of competitive sports. It’s not that you can’t build one, it’s just that it's not obvious how to go about building one.
Not only that, but when you don’t have a team, it can leave a void that you may not even notice.
In today’s episode I talk about:
- What happens in your brain when you’re surrounded by like-minded people.
- The time I spent $25,000 in search of a team (and what I learned)
- How I plan to bring mindset coaches together in 2024
- The unique challenges of entrepreneurs (+ how loneliness can derail you)
- The difference between friendships and teammates
It's time to get real about your support system, find out where you have an 'energy leak' and create community around your goals so that you can maximize your energy.
How do you think team plays (or has played) a role in your growth (or struggle) as an entrepreneur? Tell me about it on Instagram. And if you’re a mindset coach looking for community, I hope to see you in The Mindset Coach Academy!

I started playing hoops again.
You're going to be hearing a lot about this in the upcoming weeks because this is kind of a big deal to me.
And as a former professional athlete who hasn't played competitively in a while, it was really really humbling to get back out there and play.
It took a lot of reflection on my part to realize I was avoiding doing this thing that I devoted the first part of my life to. Because I knew I would be bad at it.
I talk more about this whole experience on today's Mental Monday podcast, so I hope you'll check it out, ask yourself, "What am I avoiding?" and feel inspired to do what you love, even if it's uncomfortable at first.

As a parent, I’ll take any help I can get. Period.
Today on the podcast, I am absolutely thrilled to introduce you to Jeanine Mouchawar, a parenting coach and certified life coach who works specifically with parents of teenagers.
If you are a parent of a teenager, you’re likely feeling growing pains. What worked for you before doesn’t work anymore. Your teens are craving more independence,
navigating social stresses, and juggling real world pressures and responsibilities. They might even be starting to do things that scare you.
If you have kids of any age, or coach teen athletes, stop what you’re doing and press play. You guys, this episode is absolute gold.
Jeanine created a 5-step framework to help parents like us guide, influence, and support our teens. Today, she’s breaking down each one to show you how to bridge the communication gap with your teen to transform your relationship.
Jeanine is an absolute superhero because she gives parents the lifeline that they’re looking for. She teaches strategies to navigate difficult conversations, become your teen’s go-to person, and actually enjoy the teen years.
What I love about this episode is:
- As a parent, I’m always hearing about the infamous teen years, and frankly will take all the help I can get. I learned SO much from this interview.
- This 5 step framework comes from Jeanine’s personal experience raising a challenging teenager who was engaging in risky behaviors. Her system really works, and she’s living proof of that.
- Jeanine gives parents so mant actionable ways to transform patterns of communication right away AND long-term.
Stop the parent-teen battles, stop feeling helpless, start taking actions that bring you and your teen closer together, and create the calm and peaceful home you so deserve.

Here’s a glance at the episode…
[1:59] Jeanine starts off by introducing herself as a parenting coach for parents who are either trying to navigate a tough relationship with their teen or hoping to prepare for the teen years.
[4:29] Parents often approach parenting teens by trying to stop a certain behavior that is making them worried. Jeanine explains how that creates a negative cycle.
[9:12] Teens need different parenting than they did when they were young. We can’t parent through force. Lindsey draws a parallel with being a sports coach.
[11:21] When your teen does something that scares you, your nervous system gets flooded. Step 1 of Jeanine’s 5 step system is about regulating your own emotional system before you talk to your kids. Shame plays a big role in you teen’s reaction.
[15:20] Jeanine and Lindsey chat about how you can calm your nervous system quickly using more ‘surface level ways’ for quick wins right away.
[17:48] Step 2 is all about zooming out and observing the behavior. Jeanine warns not to get into what she calls ‘mommy fast forward brain’ and what happens when you do.
[21:31] Getting curious is step 3 in Jeanine’s framework. What is your teen thinking/feeling/or causing them to make that choice?
[28:55] To meet your teen where they’re at, you have to normalize their feelings so they don’t feel alone. Tell them “YOU are not the problem, it’s you and me against the problem”. This is step 4. Jeanine offers some examples of healthy ways to chat with your teens, leading with empathy.
[31:45] Jeanine dives into step 5 which is all about helping your teens solve their own problems. Jeanine explains the importance of buy-in before offering advice.
[34:18] Lindsey and Jeanine chat about how coaches can apply this framework to sports, and how the parenting and coaching emotional framework has evolved over time. Lindsey asks “How do you approach disciplining your teen?”.
[39:27] Lindsey and Jeanine end the episode with a discussion on “natural consequences”, why they’re important, and how to know when it’s time to step in.
Today's Mental Monday episode is inspired by calls I've had with Mindset Coach Academy applicants. I find it so fascinating to meet and talk to people who are making a decision about whether or not to join my program.
The psychology of it in particular is really fascinating.
Because taking a big jump, putting money and time and energy toward the thing that you say you want is HARD. And it's something that a lot of people don't have the guts to do.
In this episode, I'm asking the question: What happens if you DON'T take action? Does the "hard" go away? Does doing nothing make it easier?
This episode may just change how you look at your goals and the risks you're willing to take to get what you want.

One of the best things I’ve done as a parent is to teach my kids mindset tools. Simple, uncomplicated exercises that they can reach for when they need a little extra help.
Skills like identifying, communicating, and regulating your emotions are LEARNED skills. So as a parent who is also a mindset coach, I am always finding ways to teach my kids age-appropriate mindset tools.
Because I want my daughters to know that they are not their emotions. Their mindset can change their reality. They have control.
If you work with young kids as a coach, a parent, or a teacher, this is a game-changer.
I’ll start by saying I have 4 kids, all under 10. My kids are young. And trial-and-error is just part of the package deal right now. I’m not a fan of the ‘throwing spaghetti at the wall’ approach when it comes to coaching older athletes, but with kids, sometimes you have to try stuff and figure out what works for each kid.
I tell myself, if I can get it right 50% of the time, I’m doing okay.
In today’s episode you’ll learn tools to help your kids:
- Regulate their fight or flight response
-
Understand what you’re telling them on a deep, psychological level
-
Move through tough emotions like disappointment, fear, or anger.
-
Feel seen, validated, and understood
As a professional mindset coach, here are three mindset tools I use with my kids.
P.S. What mindset tools are you teaching your kids? Come on over to Instagram and tell me about it! I’m always adding to my toolbox, getting it wrong, trying something else, getting it right occasionally.

I just went to a mastermind where they started the session by asking us about our 'why'. And I tried not to roll my eyes.
I already know my why, I've done a lot of work on it already. Isn't this prompt a little cheesy and overdone?
I didn't really want to talk about it in the mastermind, but I did it anyway. And I'm surprised I'm saying this but I'm really glad I did.
Not because it taught me anything new about myself, but because it gave me a new perspective about the question.
Today on the podcast, I'm talking about why your why matters and why it's time to say it out loud AGAIN. I'm also giving you a bunch of journaling prompts, and sharing my why.

I don't want to talk about business today, but I do want to talk about selling.
Because we're all 'selling' something. You're selling yourself in your career, you're selling your spouse on the vacation you want to go on, you're selling your kids on going to school.
Today, I'm chatting about the psychology of selling, and teaching you one small but mighty mindset shift that will help you hear 'yes' more often.

Some of the best, most valuable coaching you can get from anyone is to learn about all the ways they f-ed up. As students, we’re always looking for someone to save us from mistakes. Save us valuable time, resources, and energy. To teach us the shortcuts so that we can get to where we want to be faster.
I’ve been a full time mindset coach for over a decade, and did mindset coaching on the side for much longer than that. So I can confidently tell you that I’ve made a ton of mistakes. Today, I’m going to share with you my top 10.
These are 10 ways I self-sabotaged throughout the years. By devaluing my own time, by thinking I could do this on my own, by overcomplicating, and by skipping really fundamental steps. Steps that would have helped me build a stronger foundation faster.
Please, for the love of god, learn from my mistakes.
Mistakes are an inevitable part of any big, brave journey. My mistakes are where so much of my learning as a business owner came from, and a big part of what got me to where I am today, which make them some of the most valuable things I can teach you.
Let me know which mistake resonates most with you, and tell me about a mistake you made in YOUR business.

Today, I'm talking about the downside of gratitude. I wrote about this concept recently in my newsletter, because, at the age of 42, this is a new concept for me.
A lot of us here have similar traits. Traits that helped us be successful in sports. But sometimes, these strengths in sports don't serve us in other areas of our lives.
I'm really good at sucking it up. When something goes wrong, I am really good at minimizing it, shifting my thoughts, and focusing on all the good things in my life. That's a strength of mine in so many ways. But there's also a dark side to gratitude. And that's what I'm getting into today on The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast.
I'm so curious if you relate to my message today, so listen to today's Mental Monday episode to learn more and let me know what you think!

I am loving how much emotional learning is going on in school these days. I am constantly impressed by so many of the things that my kids are learning about identifying and regulating their emotions.
For example, my kid's public elementary school has a calm space for kids to go when they're feeling overwhelmed. And they're learning how to label and identify their feelings with colors and something called a "mood meter".
And, you know what, I am HERE for it.
Side note - If you are a teacher who teaches this stuff to young kids, THANK YOU.
All that to say, today's Mental Monday lesson comes from my 3 year old. It's a little mental exercise you can teach your kids, AND use yourself. It works at any age.

I want to talk today about advanced degrees in the mindset coaching industry.
If you are thinking about joining The MCA Certification, you might be wondering if you should go back to school to get your degree instead.
This is a question that comes up all time, and it’s one that I fully believe you should be asking. Because if you’re really serious about becoming a mindset coach, you should explore all your options.
With 18 years of experience as a mindset coach, I have seen people go through my program both with and without degrees, and what I’ve learned is that an advanced degree does not determine whether or not you’ll be successful in this field. There are many other factors at play.
If you choose to go down the advanced degree path, I don’t want you to do it just because you think that’s what you SHOULD do. I want you to do it for the right reasons, knowing exactly what you have to gain by doing it.
The goal of this episode is to show you the big picture when it comes to advanced degrees so you can decide if you need one.
I won’t give you the answers, but I will give you the questions you should be asking so that you can make a decisive, informed decision, one way or another.

I bring a lot of hypnotism principles into what I teach. Now, because of all the preconceived notions around the word "hypnotism", I prefer to use broader words like visualization, metaphors, and breathwork. At its core, it's all of these things.
On today's Mental Monday, I'm sharing an exercise that I've been working on with my hypnotist, Dr. James Hollingsworth. This exercise has helped me settle my thoughts in time of stress and calm my nervous system when I'm feeling fried.
If you are going through something now, or just want to feel more equipped next time you're struggling, I really encourage you to listen to today's Mental Monday podcast and practice this exercise.
The more you practice it, the stronger it will get. Personally, I've been using it multiple times a day because it really does work.

Today's Mental Monday episode begins with a little story. The best thing about stories is that they're open to interpretation, and you can take what you need.

Although the holidays are long behind us, this story (like all good holiday stories) has a lesson in it for all of us.

I want to take a moment to demystify the topic of visualization.
If you've been following me for a while, you've heard me talk about visualization. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan. I've used it to achieve my goals, on and off the field, and I've seen firsthand the life changing power of visualization over and over again. I believe visualization is one of the most powerful tools to help you get what you want.
That said, it's not uncommon to feel a little lost when it comes to visualization, maybe even a bit intimidated, or worried you'll do it wrong.
So today, i'm telling you exactly how you can start practicing visualization TODAY. You don't have to figure it out on your own, I've got you.
Press play to get started!
How do you use visualization? Tell me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindseypositiveperform

This episode is about obstacles. Ironically, I had so many obstacles when I tried to record it. Funny how that happens, isn’t it?
To be more specific, this episode is about ANTICIPATING obstacles. Which may seem a little counterintuitive. Let’s say you have a big, scary, new goal and you decide to go for it. So many of us think we need to just focus on the positive stuff. We need to believe in ourselves to get momentum, we need to think happy thoughts, etc. etc. etc.
It often feels wrong to jump into something while thinking about all the ways it could go wrong. But today I’m going to explain to you why it’s absolutely necessary to think about that stuff.
Anticipating obstacles is not manifesting the worst case scenario. Anticipating obstacles prepares you to be successful. Because when you don’t anticipate obstacles, you WILL be surprised by them, and that can lead to feeling overwhelmed, stuck, discouraged, or it can cause you to turn to what’s comfortable in the moment.
Anticipate obstacles gives you a chance to create a plan and solve for things ahead of time. This sets you up for success.
In this episode, I cover:
- How to anticipate tangible vs intangible obstacles
- How our feelings about obstacles impact everything
- How I solve for one of my biggest obstacles as a business owner
- A common obstacle that’s easy to overlook
- One exercise you can do today

I am a coach through and through. And as a coach, I am constantly wanting to help other people level up in their life.
But with this skill comes this urge to tell people what to do... regardless of whether or not they asked for it.
Does anyone else relate to this?
Today, I'm diving into the very important issue of consent in coaching, why it matters, and how to navigate it as someone who wants to offer help.

Initially, I was a little hesitant to do a life update on the podcast. But then I remembered something my husband told me before I recorded my first episode. He told me that the best podcasts are the ones where people stay open and let people in. And I agree. I love hearing more about the people I follow.
So today, that’s what I’m doing. I’m letting you in, and sitting down with you like we’re having a turmeric latte (my latest favorite beverage) or going out for a walk around Greenlake. I’ve had a tremendously difficult 6 months, and while I can’t go into everything today, I do want to talk about some simple things that have been bringing me joy and helping me move through the tough stuff. I need more casual chats with friends in my life, and maybe you do too.
So if a life update isn’t for you, go ahead and skip this episode. But if you want to hear more about my life and, let’s face it, my ongoing obsession with birdwatching, press play and join me for a chat.

They say that when a butterfly is in its chrysalis, you shouldn't help it get out. Why? Well, because if you help it, you rob it of its ability to strengthen its wings in the way nature intended.
This little science fact is the premise of today's Mental Monday.
I'm taking about going through tough times, the push and pull of opposites, and the ultimate goal of becoming stronger, deeper human beings.
Listen to today's episode for this honest discussion.

My guest today is Confidence and Mental Performance Coach, Shay Haddow! A few weeks ago, I was a guest on Shay’s podcast, The Alpha Girl Confidence Podcast, and now it’s her turn to take the hot seat.
Shay, like many of us, found her passion for mental training through her own personal struggles as an athlete. Shay talks openly about tearing her ACL at the age of 12, reckoning with that physical and emotional trauma at such a young age, and going on to grapple with her confidence as a player until she reached a boiling point her junior year.
Now, Shay is a badass coach who has dedicated herself to helping female athletes strengthen their self-belief to play and live confidently. Her keystone program is a 4 month group coaching program for middle school and high school female athletes.
Building her business from the ground up, Shay is open about experiencing burnout as a business owner, and what it took for her to move through it and come out better on the other side.
I really admire Shay for being so open about her ups and downs as a business owner. Being an entrepreneur is all-too-often a lonely experience, so Shay’s vulnerability and storytelling in this episode is a powerful reminder that you are not alone.
Before we even sat down together, I knew this interview would be full of nuggets of wisdom for mindset coaches, so I invited some of my students to join to give them a chance to learn from Shay firsthand and ask her questions.
Their questions included:
- “What is the ideal age to start mental training?”
- “Do you have trouble getting kids to accept responsibility because parents are playing the blame game?”
- “Knowing what you know now about hustle culture and burnout, would you do things differently?”
Shay is one to watch - so listen up and take notes!

[1:20] Shay starts off the episode by introducing herself and sharing the 3 main ways she works with athletes. She tells the class about the pillars of her core program, “Beyond the Athlete”.
[5:10] Shay shares how the question, “Raise your hand if you feel the pressure to be perfect all the time” creates space for athletes to feel connected.

[40:25] Lindsey and Shay wrap up the episode with a few rapid fire questions. Shay explains how she’s simplifying and spending more time in nature, writing a new book, finding joy with her dog, moving every day, and quitting her side hustle to go all-in on her business.

NOTES:
Shay Haddow - 3 big ways they work with athletes
- Confidence and mental performance coach
- Only for female athletes - high school and middle school mostly in a small group setting
- Program called beyond the athlete.
- 4 month group coaching program
- Book/podcast
- Shay was a soccer and basketball player. At 12 she tore her ACL - trauma mentally and physically. She also had anxiety in general as a kid. So being out for 9 months at that age after being a confident athlete was really tough.
- Coaching is such a great form of accountability for coaches cause it keeps you honest on how you’re living what you teach.
- Mindset of abundance, recovery from burnout
This week, I got to sit down with Sales and Leadership Coach, Casey Jacox. With over 25 years of business experience, Casey has won in sales by prioritizing relationships over transactions. He is a father, husband, coach, podcaster, speaker, and business leader who prides himself on his curiosity, positivity, and authentic way of approaching all facets of his life.
Over the years, Casey has earned a glowing reputation across the board. After achieving record-breaking sales at his company 10 years in a row, Casey went on to write his debut book, “Win the RELATIONSHIP - Not the DEAL”. He’s now the founder of Winning The Relationship, LLC, a consulting firm that provides executive sales leadership and coaching, and he hosts the podcast, The Quarterback DadCast, which offers advice for fathers.
What makes this episode so powerful is that Casey is no stranger to adversity, and has continually bet on himself over and over again. Not only has Casey lived a lot of lives, he is a living, breathing example of turning stories of failure into stories of success. With a rich background in both sports and sales, Casey is relatable, sharp, and knows exactly what it takes to crush any big goal in front of you.
This episode is rich with entertaining sports stories, and lessons from failure, positive self-talk, tough-love pep talks, persistence, and the importance of relationships over everything.
Casey starts off the episode by introducing himself. He chats about his kids as well as his background in sports and sales. He introduces his book, his podcast for dads, and his meaningful work as a sales coach.
[3:45] Self-belief can be hard to come by when you’re a teenager. Casey’s shares his high school to college football journey, and how he suffered a season-ending injury.
[8:40] Casey shares his dark inner thoughts in the aftermath of his injury, and how he found new purpose after asking his coach for advice. This journey ended up leading him to sales.
[11:35] Lindsey tells Casey about how she used to believe that not making the WNBA disqualified her from becoming a mindset coach. Now she knows that this “failure” actually qualifies her. Casey shares how he came to the same conclusion and quotes Tony Bennett, “Adversity is life’s golden ticket”
[15:28] When writing his book, Casey talks about how he had to work on his own self-talk and execute a “training plan”, similar to when he was an athlete.
[18:09] Casey never expected to become a coach. He tells Lindsey the story of a no-bullshit pep talk that changed everything. When pitching for his first coaching job, he told his employer, “Someone’s gotta bet on me”.
[22:00] Lindsey and Casey discuss the importance of self-belief before others believe in you. From journaling, to self-talk, to visualization, Casey and Lindsey chat about the very real psychological work that goes into maintaining your confidence.
[26:37] Casey brings up the importance of curiosity. He talks about his daily ice bath routine and how it reminds him that he can do hard things.
[28:52] These 5 “swear words” create anxiety, negative space, and overwhelm. The phrase, “I will”, puts you right back in the driver’s seat.
[31:28] What does a typical day look like for a high performance sales coach? Casey shares his daily routine which includes ice baths, coaching, “throwing boomerangs”, and showing up for his kids.
[33:40] Lindsey wraps up the episode by asking Casey a few rapid-fire questions. Casey talks about his love of reading, podcasts, and creating purpose and vision for his clients and his kids.
When everything goes wrong, what do you do?
Today I'm sharing about a recent upset in my life that caused me to realize that sometimes the 'silver lining' mindset is an excuse to avoid tough feelings.
Listen to today's Mental Monday for my insight on how gratitude can sometimes hurt you.

When was the last time you intentionally sat down and worked on your belief?
We know it’s important to work on our health, our habits, our breathing, etc. but we often overlook the need to work on our BELIEF. Today, I’m making the case that belief work is some of the absolute most important work you can do.
Why?
Because our brains are hardwired for survival, and because of that, we won’t put time and energy toward things that we don’t believe will work out. So if we want to do big things in our life, we have to override our brain’s natural desire to avoid risk. The only way to do that is to work on our belief.
If we’re not intentional about this piece of the puzzle, doubts start to creep in and, over time, our hopes and dreams die.
Listen to this month’s extended episode of The MCA Podcast for more on why belief work is important, 4 ways to actively work on your belief, and one BONUS exercise you can do every day that will catapult you toward your big dreams.

One of the best things we can do as mindset coaches is work on our OWN BELIEFS. Beliefs about the power and importance of mental training and beliefs about our own abilities to scale our business and be successful.
Belief work is especially important when you first start your business because you don't have a lot evidence that it's going to work.
Today I am breaking apart what I call "The Motivation Triad": A term that describes the 3 THINGS your brain is working on at any given moment.

🌱 Mentally preparing for a job interview
🌱 Getting yourself ready to coach
Visualizing that something is possible gives your brain mental reps that what you want is safe, comfortable, and right in front of you.
This is WHY we visualize. In today's episode, I'm going to tell you HOW to make your visualizations more powerful.
Let's dive right in!

Today’s episode is all about “sales” - i.e. that little word that so many of us avoid.
Specifically, we’re going to be talking about how to sell mindset and mental performance coaching. But really, these principles can be applied to anything.
I used to hate sales, in fact, I would go out of my way to avoid it. Whether it was selling campfire mints or fundraising at school, I didn’t want any part of it. But when I started my business, I really had to get to the root of it and do some deep mindset work around my aversion to sales. It's the only way I was going to make my dreams happen.
Over time, everything changed.
And now, I’m super excited to share with you 6 tips that completely transformed my own mindset around selling.
If you’re here, you’re probably either a mindset coach already, or are considering becoming one. Regardless of where you’re coming from, I want to be very clear about one thing: Even if you don’t think selling is for you, it is.
Because learning to sell is less about money and more about learning (and owning) your worth. And when you do that, you force yourself to step up in a bigger, more impactful way. So whether or not there’s a money exchange, It’s still really important to go through this process and learn these skills.
One of my favorite things about building a mindset coaching business, is that you are your first client. Practicing what you preach is the key to moving forward. From building self-belief, to visualizing your success, when you directly apply mindset work to your business, you’ll see a direct impact on your own life and your ability to coach your clients.

We all have good days... and bad days. And sometimes our bad days catch us by surprise.
But starting the day on the wrong foot doesn't mean you have to end it that way. And the same goes for "high vibe" days. Those don't have to feel random and out of your control.
🌞 If you're operating at a high vibe, what can you do to keep that momentum going?
🌙 If you're a low vibe, what can you do to turn your day around?
In this Mental Monday, I'll coach you through it.

Allow me to introduce you to mental performance coach, and the author of your next favorite book, Dr. Rob Bell.
As a fellow trailblazer in the world of mental performance training, Dr. Rob Bell has accomplished so much, personally and professionally. He is a remarkable endurance athlete and an ironman, and has a passion for sports like golf, swim, ping pong, and chess (yep, we’re calling chess a sport). Rob has also devoted his life to helping others through training teams, organizations, and coaches on mental toughness.
I’ve admired Dr. Rob Bell’s work from afar for many years, but somehow it took recording a podcast episode to get us to finally sit down and have a real conversation. And I can tell you honestly that I’ve never had a conversation quite like this one before.
I asked Rob to join me today because he just finished up his eighth, yes, EIGHTH book, I Can’t Wait To Be Patient . I can’t recommend this book enough. The main theme of his book (and our episode) revolves around (what Rob calls) “the next big topic in mental training.” And that is… PATIENCE. Why it matters, how to practice it, and how it impacts confidence and long-term success, etc.
One of my favorite moments from the episode is when Rob said this: “I think we look at patience as something that is very passive. But that’s not the case at all. It’s about knowing when to be urgent and how to be patient”.
It was hard to choose just one quote, this episode is so dang quotable.
Rob is not only as cool and nice as I hoped, he’s so generous with his time and knowledge, and he has this calm and focused way of bringing clarity to abstract ideas that don’t often get talked about in mental training. The work Rob is doing and writing about is pushing this industry forward, and I can’t wait to see all the conversations and research he inspires.
Enjoy the episode, and make sure to get your hands on his book, I Can’t Wait To Be Patient by Dr. Rob Bell.

Here’s a glance at the episode…
[2:55] Rob just released book number 8. He starts the episode by chatting with Lindsey about his book-writing process and shares a quick, snapshot description of the book’s main theme.
[7:48] Rob argues that our perception of time has to do with supply and demand, which changes over time.
[12:46] Lindsey asks Rob what his “transitions” are like, in a practical way so that he can toggle between work and life.
[16:48] “We have to play the game, not the context” Rob shares some background on working with golfers and how he coaches his athletes to use mental training from the start of practice.
[19:15] What is the fallout of being “Urgent towards the wrong things?”. Lindsey shares how she sees athletes struggle with this concept every day. Rob explains the problem with the way most people think about patience.
[24:10] “Show me someone that’s confident, and I’ll show you someone that’s patient”. Rob explains how confidence and patience are deeply intertwined and what farmers can teach us about it.
[29:05] Lindsey asks Rob to share some practical tips for coaches who want to be patient, find a rhythm, and trust the results. Hint: It all comes back to time.

In todays Mental Monday, I'm calling myself out and challenging listeners (like me) who are really good at taking action.
Give me a to-do list and I will knock things out. This approach is a strength in so many ways. I could argue that it's the athlete in me.
But, like anything else, there can always be too much of a good thing.
Tune in!

How much can nearly two decades of experience as a mental coach really teach you?
When I first got into mindset coaching, Facebook was barely a thing, Tik Tok didn’t exist, most people hadn’t heard of sports psychology or mindset coaching, and the sitting president was George W. Bush.
So yeah, It’s been a JOURNEY.
On this extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I’m boiling everything I learned down into 5 basic principles to help you build a solid coaching practice from the jump. These principles are not based on trends, they are timeless.
From making my first workbooks on powerpoint slides, to what certifications I chose to get (and why I chose them over a masters in sports psychology), I’m putting it all out there.
The reason I made this episode is because I know that many of you are sitting on the sidelines wondering which steps you should take. Or maybe you’ve started your own business and it’s a lot harder than you thought it was going to be and you’re getting frustrated.
Press play to get clarity about where you’re wasting time, energy, and resources, AND see a path forward to reach your goals. Whether that’s 10k, 100k, or your first million, it doesn’t really matter, the same fundamentals apply.
Whatever your goal is, I hope this episode awakens a belief in you that you can do this.
Let’s dive in.

I want you to imagine with me for a moment that you could collect your energy... like money. Just scoop it up and stick it in your pocket.
Now, what would happen if you collected all the energy you use wishing things were different and spent it on something else?
How much more could you do with your day, your week, or your life?
Today on the podcast, I'm challenging you re-frame and re-invest your energy.

There’s something super special about getting to interview someone you knew as a kid. Especially when they’ve grown up to absolutely crush it in this industry. For me, that’s Dr. Britt Gonsoulin, MD, MPH.
Dr. Britt and I met playing basketball together on our high school team (I have the oversized jersey pic to prove it :). She went on to play D1 basketball while majoring in Kinesiology & Exercise and Sports Sciences, then continued her education at Tulane University School of Medicine. There, she graduated AOA with a dual doctorate and Public Health masters degree in Health Systems Management.
Dr. Britt has collected over 15 years of clinical experience as a Sports Psychiatrist and provides comprehensive in-person and tele-health care from her practice in Bainbridge Island, WA.
To put it plainly, her professional resume is so freaking impressive. So much so that I did something I’ve never done before and invited my MCA students to join us for our interview!
I love this episode because my MCA students got a chance to ask their own burning questions like:
- “How can we help an athlete filter against an outcome-focused parent or coach?”
- “How you incorporate cognitive behavior therapy with clients of different ages?”
- “How do you help kids who are afraid to be honest with their coach because of how it might affect their playing time?”
- “What’s the difference between Sports Psychology and Sports Psychiatry?”
- “When should you enlist the help of a Sports Psychiatrist?”
Dr. Britt is so passionate about the psychiatric side of sports, and working alongside people like her is so vital to this industry expanding.
Thank you Dr. Britt for letting us pick your brain!

Here’s a glance at the episode…
[4:50] Lindsey and Dr. Britt have known each other since they were teenagers playing basketball together. Dr. Britt explains the difference between Sport Psychiatry and Sport Psychology.
[9:20] When should you enlist the help of a Sport Psychiatrist? When should clients be referred to one during coaching?
[13:32] Since the pandemic, there’s been more public dialogue about mental health, and mental health issues appear to be more prevalent. Dr. Britt weighs in.
[19:30] Dr. Britt shares what exactly led her to her career in Sport Psychiatry.
[21:20] Performance anxiety is consistent across industries, Dr. Britt shares how she breaks apart, analyzes, and treats athletes with performance anxiety.

[36:27] Lindsey asks Dr. Britt to explain how her experience as a D1 athlete informs her work as a Sport Psychiatrist.
[38:00] Pete asks, “What can we do to help young athletes overcome the amount of stress that’s put on them?” Dr Britt talks about how she coaches her 10 year old kid to keep what really matters in perspective (Hint: The Harlem Globetrotters might help)
[44:25] Dr. Britt argues that the tough environment of sports can actually be a tool to help young athletes develop emotional resilience and emotional intelligence sooner.
[45:04] Lyne asks, “What is the impact of injuries to athletes and their mindset?”. Dr. Britt explains how the body and mind’s response to physical trauma is widely varied and unpredictable. The group discusses the importance of mental health resources for injured players.

Part of being an entrepreneur is knowing that there is an ever growing list of things to do. And it's easy to get sort of lost in it. We feel super overwhelmed, spend entire days working (without really getting anything done) and end up moving a hundred things an inch.
It's time to clear the clutter and commit to one thing.
In today’s Mental Monday, I’m telling you why “Simplify and Focus” is my coaching mantra this year and the key to making a real difference in your mindset coaching business.

As athletes, it’s so easy to get into patterns of doing what has always worked when we want to de-stress.
For example, lots of us turn to exercise when we’re feeling stressed. (Sound familiar?)
On today's Mental Monday episode of The Mindset Coach Academy, I want to encourage you to try something new. Something that forces you to be present but affects your nervous system in a different way than you're used to.
💡 What can you do today that will force you to be present?

Today, I’m talking about The Mindset Coach Academy Certification. This episode is for anyone who is curious about what it’s really like to join The MCA Certification. I’m answering questions like:
- What does a typical week look like in The MCA Certification?
- How does this certification differ from others?
- What is the value of joining The MCA community?
- How will I be supported after I graduate?
- What tangible resources will I receive during this course?
- Is this certification right for me and my business goals?
- What is a Performance Visualization Specialist?
- What will this certification qualify me to do?
I created this certification to equip people who are passionate about mindset coaching with the tools they need to start a fulfilling, profitable, business with real impact and results.
To help people like you bring mindset coaching into the world so that you can teach others the mental skills we all need to achieve our biggest goals, in and out of sports.
If you follow me, you might know all of this already.
But something I haven’t talked a lot about is what it’s really like to be a student in The MCA Certification.
From the application process (and why we have one), to the very real benefits of joining a community of aspiring mindset coaches, and the practicalities of how we equip you to work with teams long after graduation, I’ll lay it all on the table.
I believe wholeheartedly in our certification. I have years of evidence to support that the MCA Certification takes people to a place where they can work with clients, build a profitable business, get results, and create value in the world.
I hope this episode gives you clarity about whether or not The MCA Certification is right for you.
Our next MCA Certification course starts in October. I hope to see you there!

In The Mindset Coach Academy, we’re practicing saying yes to something that scares you.
Some students are speaking on stage, doing a daily cold plunge (like me!), having a tough conversation with a loved one, trying a new hobby, or joining a dating app. You get the idea.
Beyond the obvious, saying ‘yes’ to something that you wouldn’t normally do has this awesome ripple effect. It breaks the ‘no’ habit and rewires your brain in a way that is so incredibly healthy long-term.
Listen to the episode to learn what I did just this week to break the ‘no’ habit.

"Everyone needs mindset coaching!"
I believe this and maybe you do too.
But this belief can lead to thoughts like: - Why don't people understand that they need this? - Why isn't there a line out the door for my services? - It's my responsibility to share mental training with everyone - I need to give mental training away for free!
Today on The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I'm talking about the not-so-great side of being truly passionate about mental training.
If you've found yourself thinking any of these thoughts, or feeling frustrated at the people around you, this one's for you.
How to Become a Mental Performance Coach: Our latest and greatest FREE ultra-simple guide will show you how YOU can make mindset coaching your full-time career or part-time hustle. (Even without your PhD!). Take the first step to becoming the mindset coach you've been dreaming of: https://www.positiveperformancetraining.com/guide
It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Amy Oliphant and Ken Bizup. Both of my guests today are PPT Certified Mindset Coaches and current Team Captains for The MCA.
Amy is the founder of Transcend Mental Training in Chicago. She works with athletes, hockey players, swimmers, and, as she puts it, “any athlete that crosses my path”. She is also starting to do presentations for corporations and small groups. Amy was the first coach we recruited to be a Team Captain, and we are so thankful to have her. We’ve interviewed Amy before, so you might recognize her!
Ken Bizop has been working as a mental performance coach for over 10 years, and joined The MCA Certification just 1 year ago. As Ken explains it, “I needed a recipe for success and MCA was clearly the next course of action.” Today, he continues to run his company, Athletes Mental Trainer, where his goal is to “unlock true athletic potential” by training the mind.
As MCA Team Captains, Ken and Amy are responsible for mentoring small groups of MCA students as they progress through the program. They hold bonus weekly coaching calls where they connect with their team to offer additional help, answer questions, and build relationships with coaches who are going through our program.
These breakout groups have been proven to be one of the most valuable parts of our MCA Certification. They’ve led to lifelong friendships, business opportunities, and invaluable emotional support. Students from the breakout groups have gone on to coach one another’s kids, hire one another, brainstorm marketing tactics, share advice on offerings and proposals, and, most importantly, learn from one another in a safe and welcoming space.
As entrepreneurs, this level of community is so hard to find and part of what makes The MCA the best mindset coaching program in the world.
Enjoy this episode with two of my favorite people, our incredible coaches, and kickass MCA Team Captains, Amy and Ken!

Selling is a topic I don't talk about lightly. (Before you scroll past, hear me out.)
I know that people have a natural resistance to selling. Perhaps you struggle to charge for something you really believe in. Or you feel like an imposter. Or you don't think anyone will actually want to pay for what you can offer.
Today on The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I'm challenging you to think about selling differently. My hope is that this episode will help you see that selling is about so much more than making money.
Do you feel weird about selling? Press play!

The other day, I was talking to MCA graduate and fighter pilot, Tammy Barlette, who told me that so much of what I teach are mental skills that she’s been practicing her whole life. She just didn’t know she was doing them, and certainly didn’t know how to teach them.
If you’re a coach, I bet you can relate.
Chances are you have lots of have mental skills and habits you naturally fall back on to:
- Prepare for competition
- Recover from a mistake
- Move on from a tough game
- Settle your nerves and focus when it matters most.
If you’ve competed throughout your life, you probably picked up many of these skills along the way. But just because you might know how to do it, doesn’t mean you know how to teach it.
Today I am sharing a 6-step mental training framework that is, frankly, game-changing. I dare to say, life-changing.
Each step is easy to understand, easy to explain, and a quick win that builds the mental skills foundations that your athletes need to be successful in sports and in life. The beauty in this framework is that each step is so simple and easy to implement and can be infinitely built upon as your athletes progress.
90-95% of athletes and coaches need to hear this message. It’s proven and it works.
Instead of wasting precious time going down the rabbit hole and throwing spaghetti against the wall trying to see what sticks, press play and tell me which of these 6 steps you need to work on the most.

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
Bianca Campbell is an example of what is POSSIBLE!
Working with aspiring mindset coaches over many years, I’ve had the pleasure of coaching and cheering on some of the most inspirational people in this industry. And even in a room of high achievers and entrepreneurial badasses, Bianca Campbell stands.
As a former collegiate and professional basketball player, Bianca founded RISE Mindful Performance to help athletes use mindfulness and mental skills training to embrace and navigate the demands of their sport. Her goal is to help athletes improve their well-being, have more fun, and perform at their highest level - in sports and in life.
When Bianca first joined The Mindset Coach Academy, she applied the same unquenchable passion and take-no-prisoners attitude that made her successful in sports into moving through fear and doubt to build her business from the ground up.
In this episode, Bianca shares how she came to Mindset Coaching through countless hours of studying, researching, and manifesting. How (and why) she pushed herself to join The MCA as a brand new mom, and where she found the money to make it
happen. She opens up about the various emotional ups and downs, and her very relatable self-sabotaging thoughts such as, “I can’t live my dream AND be a good wife and mother”.
As she told her MCA class, “I just know that I am not meant to be mediocre”. It’s this relentless seeking of excellence that palpably inspires those around her. Bianca has a unique way of making you believe that anything is possible, and reminding you that you have a responsibility to live the highest representation of yourself.
Join me in celebrating Bianca’s journey!

Here’s a glance at the episode:
[1:13] From a life in basketball to founding her company, Rise Mindful Performance, Bianca begins with a quick, passionate overview of her journey as a leader. Her goal is to build a 6 figure business and do mindset coaching full time.
[5:38] Bianca talks about her desire to “live the highest expression of who I am before I die.” And how she pushed herself to join the MCA in spite of (maybe because of) becoming a new mom.
[8:54] Bianca shares how she found Positive Performance Training and The Mindset Coach Academy in her search for something more (shout out to Amy Oliphant and Breanne Smedley!) using manifestation exercises, cold calls, and boots-on-the-ground effort.
[12:19] Money is only an obstacle if you let it be! Bianca shares how she found the money for The MCA Certification. Lindsey comments that Bianca’s take-no-prisoners attitude is a learned skill.
[17:03] Lindsey and Bianca talk about how being mothers impacts the way they show up for themselves. The bottom line: You’ve got to work on learning to trust yourself AND have compassion for yourself.
[22:15] In Lindsey’s words, if you are pushing yourself, you will have self-doubt. Bianca shares a personal story about her feelings of overwhelm with juggling her family, kid, full time job, and trying to build her business, and how she moved through it.
[27:41] “I believed that I couldn’t live my dream AND be a good wife and mother”. Bianca shares how she navigated self-sabotaging thoughts with some help from the PPT Insider’s Group.
[32:58] Bianca reflects on the time she almost quit LIndsey’s program and how she gained clarity and confidence when she needed it the most.
[39:24] For a mindset coach, creating that first offer or program is a huge step.
[43:29] Lindsey asks Bianca, “What’s next for you?” In Bianca’s words, “The effort is becoming more effortless [...] I’m enjoying the hard [...] and I’m really proud of myself”.

Do you need a formal degree to become a mindset coach? If so, which one?

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
Are you passionate about what you do?
Chances are, if you’re a coach, mindset coach, or entrepreneur, your PASSION is what motivates you to do what you do. To put yourself out there, kick ass, and take no prisoners. All for the greater good.
But that’s an episode for another day.
THIS episode is about that moment when we, as passionate leaders, realize our clients aren’t matching our passion. This can be a brutal wakeup call. Because, while there’s a lot that we CAN control, the one thing we can’t control are other people’s actions or how they show up to be coached.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how great your leadership is or how much you want your clients to succeed. Sometimes, something is just not working. And this can lead to feelings of frustration, resentment, failure, blame.
In today’s extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I’m taking an honest look at the negative feelings that you might have toward your clients or athletes. And shining a light on how these feelings can impact the way that YOU show up.
Here’s what I cover: :
- The caring/impact dichotomy. Hint: Sometimes caring MORE isn’t the answer.
- How to have a deep and lasting impact AND stay positive
- The 1 thing that you might be doing that 100% won’t work
- Real life examples of how these negative thoughts manifest in myself and my mindset coaching students
- How the confirmation bias makes it hard to see what’s really going on.
- A mindset exercise that can actually change things for the better.
If you’ve ever secretly thought: “I hate my clients” (or athletes), I’m here to tell you that is ABSOLUTELY NORMAL. This episode is not about adding more shame or guilt or gaslighting your feelings of frustration. This episode is about helping you move forward so you can continue to be proud about how YOU show up.

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
As an athlete, I knew I wanted to play basketball professionally, and I also knew that in order to play professionally, I’d have to start with making my high school team. Only then could I hope to make play college, then finally professionally.
In sports, the steps are laid out, there’s no rushing them. You do them one step at a time, you don’t expect to skip steps, and you don’t feel impatient about the amount of time it takes to achieve that goal. You understand that it is a process.
So why is it that we expect immediate success in business?
One of the biggest mistakes I see my mindset coaching students make when building their business is going too big, too, fast, and expecting immediate results.
But let me tell you something: Rushing things puts you on a fast track to NOWHERE.
In today’s extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy, I’m coaching you to do the work to reach 100k in your mindset coaching business. I’m sharing the strategy I use with MCA graduates to help you hit that first BIG money milestone in a calm. measured, and focused way. In a way that allows you to make decisions based on growth, not panic.
If your goal is to hit 100k in your business, press play and take notes! THIS is the work.

MINDSET COACHES: Who is your target audience?
If you can’t answer this question plainly, you need to niche down. Because if you’re not speaking to a specific person, you’re most likely getting lost in the noise.
The good news is, you don’t have to do any of this blindly.
Today, Lindsey is teaching how to niche down wisely and strategically. Using what she knows about sales psychology and pulling from her boots-on-the-ground experience, Lindsey asks the hard-hitting questions to help you find your target audience.

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
On this very special episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I got to sit down with 3 time best selling author, speaker, and Mindset and High-Performance Coach, Byron Morrison.
Just a few months before its much-anticipated release, Byron is promoting his upcoming book, “Maybe You Should Give Up”. This book is a counterintuitive guide that helps readers identify and break through seven mental barriers that are stopping them from living the life they want.
In this interview, Byron takes us through each one of the seven mental barriers. One thing I love about this interview is that Byron takes the time to give so many real-world examples that perfectly illustrate each point and make this interview SO engaging and actionable.
From counteracting worst-case-scenario thoughts, to helping you rise above reactivity, Byron offers cycle-breaking techniques to empower you to get out of your own way.
It’s clear that Byron is a living, breathing example of what he teaches. I can say with certainty that if the book is anything like this interview, it’s a gold mine.
As you listen to today’s episode, I challenge you to consider all seven mental barriers, then start working on the two or three that trigger you the most.
Listen to my episode with Byron Morrison, listen to it again, maybe even three times (it’s that good) and order your advance copy of his book, “Maybe You Should Give Up”, available everywhere on June 27th, 2023!

[0.:32] Byron introduces himself with a brief overview of his experience and an overview of his latest book, “Maybe You Should Give Up”.
[2:53] Byron explains why living your life in a state of reaction is a damaging habit. He offers a few tips to help you rise above reactivity and tells a personal example involving a noisy group of kids on a train.
[6:52] Every new level of success will require you to overcome mental roadblocks. Lindsey and Byron discuss what happens in your brain when you challenge self-limiting thoughts.
[10:01] Byron teaches an actionable mental exercise when you notice “worst-case-scenario thoughts” and shares a real world example of this coaching in action.
[13:17] It’s uncomfortable to invest in yourself, or train hard, or try hard enough that you could epically fail. Byron explains why he believes your goal has to be bigger than consequence of doing it.
[18:23] Are you worrying too much about problems that haven’t happened yet? Byron’s 4th mental roadblock in his book dives into the importance of bringing your focus into the present moment.
[20:15] Social Media is a highlight reel, it never shows the whole picture. Lindsey and Byron urge you to break the cycle of comparison with a targeted mindset shift.
[25:25] The 6th mental roadblock in Byron’s book relates to self-worth and self-compassion. Speaking directly to high achievers, he explains why the solution isn’t always ‘trying harder’.
[31:55] Are you putting off your happiness? Byron talks about why his 7th mental roadblock is the goal of everything else in his book.
[33:25] “Maybe You Should Give Up” explores 7 ways we self-sabotage and how to get out of our own way. Lindsey gives a quick review of each of the 7 mental roadblocks.
[34:26] Wrapping up the episode, Lindsey asks Byron five rapid fire questions. Byron shares his goal of speaking globally on the heels of his book launch and talks a bit about his family.

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
Ever heard of a little thing called the confirmation bias?
The confirmation bias is a fancy way of saying that your brain is always looking for evidence that you are right.
In his famous quote, Henry Ford said it well, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't – you're right,”
As mindset coaches, we see this all the time: From the athlete that believes their coach ‘has it out’ for them to the colleague who deep down doesn’t really think their business is going to be successful. We’ve all seen the confirmation bias limit and sabotage. But did you know that the confirmation bias can just as easily create opportunity and help you succeed?
All it takes is some targeted mindset work.
In this extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy podcast, Lindsey is coaching you through feelings of overwhelm, confusion, inadequacy by training your confirmation bias to work FOR you instead of against you. With a few simple mindset tweaks, Lindsey will help you change your thoughts to experience a positive ripple effect. As she
reminds you in the episode, “productive thoughts lead to better emotions, actions, and results.”
Do not let yourself become a victim of your circumstances, press play, follow along, and experience an immediate shift.

Does anyone really love watching game tape after a loss?
It's hard to critique fairly without letting emotions cloud your judgement, but critique without criticism is SO important if you want to grow.
In today’s episode, Lindsey shares a piece of her post-competition routine. These 3 KEY QUESTIONS will help you evaluate your performance fairly. Use them to learn from both failures and successes and move forward with INTENTION.
Ps. If you're NOT an active athlete, this episode is still for you. All three evaluation questions are great for sales calls, presentations, performances, webinars, etc.

Please welcome my guest today, Nate Daniels!
As a former Professional Football Player, Collegiate All-American, Ferrum College Hall of Fame Inductee, and Fairfax High School Sports Hall of Fame Inductee, Nate knows what it takes to be successful at the highest level of sports. He has over 20 years of experience coaching and mentoring athletes and is passionate about helping the next generation of “athletes, parents, and coaches navigate their sports journey off the field/court so they can dominate on it.”
Today, Nate is the proud owner of a physical training center, Daniel’s Sport Performance, and a mental training center, Next Level Athletes. In this episode, Nate talks all about why and HOW he made his Mental Training business OFFICIAL.
What I love about this interview with Nate is that this man lives and breathes what he teaches. His is an agent for change within the sports world and passionate about his mission to help others with mental training. He shares real life details about how he started, how he packages his services, what he charges, and so many other boots-on-the-ground details that are invaluable to up-and-comers. Most of all he’s proof that you can help people AND make money.
If you are an aspiring mindset coach, this interview will help you peek behind the curtain and see what it really looks like to run a thriving business in this space.
A huge thank you to Nate for being vulnerable and sharing his story. I have no doubt it will inspire so many other mindset coaches to follow their passion.

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
High achievers LOVE goals.
But often, the goal we focus on is big. We want to quit our job and start a company, get in shape, go back to school to finish our degree… etc. But hyperfocusing on a big goal (that may take many many years to achieve) can get a little stale, even discouraging. Even the most disciplined of us can’t function long-term on willpower alone.
Have you ever tried to run up a big hill from a dead stop at the bottom? Yeah, it’s like that.
This month in The Mindset Coaching Collective, I gave my students an assignment. And today, I’m giving the same one to you. It’s super simple, something you can start today, and unbelievably powerful. Why? Because this assignment will give you something that every one of us can benefit from…
MOMENTUM!
It will remind you that you are type of person who does what they say they’re going to do. That you’re someone who is brave enough to make commitments and keep your commitments, and that you are powerful, disciplined, and more than capable of achieving your biggest goals.
If you love actionable episodes with clear takeaways and easy wins this one’s for you!

Please welcome Keenan Curry Jr. to today’s episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast!
I met Keenan when he joined one of my first Mindset Coach Certification cohorts! Keenan has coached nearly every level of basketball and has his Masters in Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. From college coaching, to his work as a recruiting coordinator, to managing summer camps, and doing elite student athlete development, Keenan has tons of real-world experience that influences his coaching today.
With a lifetime in sports, Keenan has a deep level of knowledge and wisdom which has helped him tremendously as he’s built a business from the ground up.
Today, Keenan is the founder and lead player development coach for FEED Your Game Academy. This program offers basketball player development and mentorship to athletes of all ages. Keenan believes that what works for one athlete won’t necessarily work for another; so he takes a customized approach to coaching with emphasis on the mental game.
In this episode, Keenan shares his approach to mental training, which he believes has helped to set him apart from other skills coaches in Oaklahoma, what he means when he shouts “Jungle mentality!”, why he believes “You have the answer already within yourself”, and why parents and community are a huge part of his philosophy as a coach.
It was so fun to catch up with Keenan and hear about how he’s used his MCA Certification to help him build a thriving business. This guy is a FORCE.
Enjoy the episode!

[0:28] Keenan introduces himself with a brief overview of his work at Feed Your Game Academy. He also explains why he joined The Mindset Coach Academy after nearly 10 years of college coaching.
[4:11] Keenan talks about most “fun” skill he highlights with athletes and how he balances athlete training, business development, and parenthood.
[11:15] Drawing from a recent conversation with a parent, Keenan explains how exactly he would work with a new athlete client struggling with the mental game - starting with the initial conversation.

Lindsey is recording from the parking lot of a Costco today. Why? Because she's hustling to get s*** done. Which, un-coincidentally, is the point of today's podcast.
For many of us, being productive is easy... if you catch us on the right day. But we all have bad days where we wake up on the wrong side of the bed and struggle to pull ourselves out of it, much less get anything done.
Today, Lindsey gives actionable tips to help you reverse your next slump, and reminds you that your mindset is always in your control.

The mental game is the game.
I know, I know, I’m preaching to the choir.
Chances are, YOU KNOW that the mental game IS the game because you’ve seen it AND you’ve lived it.
You’ve seen your best athletes crumble under pressure, your championship team go on a losing streak after one bad game. Chances are, you yourself have struggled to get your mind right for competition.
But it’s one thing to know that the mental game IS the game, and a whole other thing to train it. Training the mental game can feel daunting and confusing and it can be hard to know where to start, especially if you have limited time, money, or resources.
That’s why I recorded this episode!
Today, I’m teaching a super simple and very impactful outline for any brand new or seasoned mindset coaching program. I’m telling you the 3 most important things you should be doing with your athletes to build a hard-hitting mental training program in a way that just makes sense. It’s everything you need (and nothing you don’t) to build your program from the ground up and teach your athletes that they have control of their thoughts.
This episode is VITAL for coaches, athletes of every level, aspiring mindset coaches, and really everyone who wants to show up better.
Resources mentioned in this episode:
- The BRAVR Method: The first step in your mental training routine. This hard-hitting, 5-minute mental training exercise helps your athletes get in the right headspace to perform, regardless of the uncontrollables. The BRAVR Method incorporates breathing, affirmations, visualization, and mindfulness to be a powerful, all-in-one, pre-practice mental training tool for athletes of every level.
- The Mistake Ritual Magic Workshop: When your athletes turn the ball over, dribble it off their foot, strike out, or miss a penalty kick, do they have the tools to bounce back? Teach your athletes to recover from failure in the moment with The Mistake Ritual Magic Workshop.
- The Psychology of Competition: Our online certification course that teaches you how to help your athletes build pre-competition, in-competition and post-competition routines, so they approach every competition calm, focused and prepared.

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
My guest today is my friend and PPT community favorite, Betsy Butterick! Betsy is a coach and communication specialist with a history of coaching D1-D3 college basketball, and the WNBA. Today, Betsy is opening up about her choice to leave it all behind for the never ending adventure of being her own boss. Betsy works with individuals and teams that are ready to improve. Her work spans the locker room to the boardroom, and is applicable to every area of life.
Anytime I get the pleasure of sitting down with The Coaches Coach herself, I leave with renewed motivation and nuggets of wisdom that I take into my own coaching.
One thing I admire about Betsy is how she’ll do anything to push toward that next level. In this episode, she talks about using her part-time job at an airport to get her business off the ground, and how sitting at a children’s hospital helped her practice being uncomfortable. Beyond being one of the best-spoken people I’ve ever met, Betsy is honest, vulnerable, and relatable. Her successful business didn’t happen overnight, and she’s not afraid to peel back the curtain.
This episode is full of practical wisdom and is super encouraging, especially for all my aspiring mindset coaches out there. In her words, “I’m a normal and average person [...] If I can do it, you can do it!”

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[0:58] Betsy introduces herself. She was a college golfer, then coached college-level basketball, eventually making her way to coaching in the WNBA. She identifies the exact moment she realized coaching existed outside of sports, which soon brought her to her current career coaching coaches as a communication specialist.
[5:27] It was not an easy decision to make the jump from leaving a great coaching job to building a business from the ground up.
[9:58] Shared experience and relatability goes so far in coaching, and it’s a great way to counter Imposter Syndrome. Betsy shares a tip for aspiring mindset coaches that helped her get her foot in the door. She also introduces her ACT video series.
[15:20] Right out of the gate, Betsy wanted to work with the people that she understood the best: Coaches. In her opinion, offering value before you’re asked is one of the most valuable things you can do to be successful in the field.
[19:25] “Don’t measure your success by what you don’t know. Put out into the universe what you know is good and of value, and do that consistently.” Lindsey and Betsy discuss the unique challenges with marketing via social media and the importance of staying grounded in what you know and who you’re targeting.
[24:33] It can be hard to be your own boss and remain confident; Betsy digs into her own relationship with confidence and trusting the process. She opens up about how being a mom has changed her life.
[30:27] Lindsey asks the question “How did you suspend the how?” Betsy’s answer includes 2 stories that illustrate how she learned to “sit with suffering”.
[36:04] After she left coaching, Betsy landed her very first client that she describes as, “The best first client I could have hoped for… because she was so skeptical”. Betsy takes Lindsey through how she landed her first client and took advantage of the right opportunities.
[40:37] The HUSTLE is all about getting creative. Betsy talks about how she worked on her skills, made the ask (even when it was intimidating) and even worked part-time at an airport in exchange for flying standby anywhere in the country.
[44:13] Betsy jokes about her “beer meeting” and how she’s worked on her money mindset. In her words, “People can’t accept what you don’t offer”.
[47:33] “We can criticize ourselves for the things we didn’t do, or congratulate ourselves for the risks that we take”. Betsy explains the very real reward of starting a business, pushing through the fear, and seeing it through.
[52:18] Wrapping up the episode, Lindsey asks Betsy how people can learn more about her and the good work she does.

I am thrilled to once again welcome everyone’s favorite co-host Courtney Thompson!
I LOVE sitting down and chatting with Courtney; she is a fountain of wisdom and has lived out everything I teach when it comes to Mental Training - on the BIGGEST NATIONAL stages. Courtney is a 2-time Olympic medalist with a professional resume that goes on for miles. She’s also an advocate for mental training, a natural teacher, and she credits mindset work for a lot of her success, on and off the court.
I am so excited to announce that Courtney has agreed to join me as a regular co-host on this podcast. That’s right, you’ll be seeing a lot more of her here in 2023!
Today, Courtney and I are asking the question: “How can we allow things to be SIMPLE?”
As high achievers, we take a lot of pride in working hard. For many of us, it’s our comfort zone; It makes us feel good to work hard. And, don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of pride to be had in working long hours, training hard, hustling. After all, as Courtney puts it, “If you’ve never been burnt out, or trained too hard, or crossed that line, are you actually pushing yourself?”
But oftentimes we take it too far.
The problem comes when we become so accustomed to working hard that we make things harder than they need to be.
In today’s episode, Courtney and I talk about the “dark side” of working hard.
We talk about:
- What it means to “allow” things to be easy
- How self-sabotage masquerades as hustle
- Why the thing you SHOULD be doing is often the thing you avoid the most.
From Courtney’s experience in setting up her new business to my new-and-improved approach to family laundry, this concept is so applicable to everyone in so many different parts of life. In this episode, both Courtney and I have real breakthroughs, and we’re confident that you will too.
Let’s dive in!

Today's message is one all high achievers need to hear: It's okay to be imperfect, it's okay to mess up, it's okay to see the opportunity for growth.
Many high achievers would rather bury their head in the sand than look their failures square in the eye.
Today, Lindsey talks about what it was like for her to watch tape as an athlete, and what she learned from making space for the cringe-y moments.
If you're a perfectionist, this one's for you!

Today, I am thrilled to welcome TWO (yes TWO) badass mindset coaches to join me on this very special episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast!
Amy Oliphant is the founder of Transcend Mental training and a Positive Performance Certified Mindset Coach. Fun fact, Amy was actually in our very first MCA Certification course, and has been a Team Captain for us over the past 4 years. When she joined us, she had no intention of starting a business. Now, she’s getting paid to be a mindset coach and scaling her business, with plans to expand in 2023. In her words, “If you run towards that fear, the possibilities are endless”.
Nikki Dieball does it all. As the Associate Head Volleyball Coach at Southern Nazarene University and the owner of RISE volleyball club, Nikki has set up her mindset coaching business to scale however and whenever she needs it to. Wearing so many different hats and being a mom to a 10 year old and 2 month old at the same time, growing her mindset coaching business on the side has allowed Nikki tremendous flexibility and peace-of-mind.
If you are thinking about joining us for our Mindset Coach Academy Certification program in the spring, or simply want to know what it’s like to become a Mindset Coach, this episode is a must-listen.
A huge thank you to Nikki and Amy for being my guests today and being so open about what it’s really like, on a day-to-day basis, to be a mindset coach. Juggling kids, adult responsibilities, and other jobs, these two are real, raw, and don’t hold anything back.

[1:00] Amy gives a quick intro about her business, Transcend Mental Training, and Nikki gives a quick intro about her job as an Assistant Volleyball coach at Southern Nazarene University and owner of RISE volleyball club.
[6:45] “Either decide it’s gonna be a hobby or jump in with both feet”. Amy talks about the importance of intentionally choosing your path as a mindset coach.
[8:30] Nikki was fortunate enough to be introduced to mental training at a young age. She shares how her passion for mental training led her to finding Lindsey and joining The Mindset Coach Academy. .
[12:55] “I can make it as big as I want” Nikki talks about the peace of mind that comes with having a side hustle that can scale whenever she needs it to (while helping people).
[15:30] What’s a day-in-the-life of a Mindset Coach really look like? Amy talks about her own mindset routine. She also shares some personal wins - getting her first corporate client, launching a group subscription program for hockey players (and eventually swimmers), and prepping for end-of-the-year presentations at highschools.
[17:45] Athletes today are faced with unique challenges. Nikki is seeing a ton of confidence issues and overwhelm with schedules, mental health, pressure to perform, and learning to “win” without a scoreboard.
[20:27] The ripple effect of mindset coaching is REAL. In Nikki’s words, “It can’t help but bleed over into every aspect of their life [...] the classroom, relationships…”
[23:09] Both Amy and Nikki agree they used to “frankenstein” their training programs from scratch. Now, Amy’s created a choose-your-own-adventure “mental performance roadmap” and reminds us there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits all. Nikki’s created a structured-yet-unscripted program that’s tailored to each client.
[27:22] The Mistake Ritual is one tool that both Amy and Nikki use consistently. In Nikki’s words, “It can change things for them in an instant”. Amy believes most athletes have no idea what they’re thinking. She shares about the one tool she uses to help them get their inner thoughts to work FOR them.
[31:21] Amy and Nikki share their favorite metaphors for creating custom visualizations for clients. Then, they share what’s next for them and their businesses.
[34:33] Nikki talks about her new project that is tailor-made to help athletes navigate the recruitment experience; including dealing with rejection.
[36:15] How does a mindset coach grow their own mindset? Both Nikki and Amy talk about the importance of weaving mindset work into their daily routines. They both agree that lists, organization, and time management is key!
[39:44] Wrapping up this episode, Lindsey asks Nikki and Amy to share what they would say to someone who is thinking about joining The MCA Certification. From the incredible community, to the learning environment that challenges you and builds your confidence, In Amy’s words, “I wouldn’t be where I am without it”.

If you're a coach, you probably coach others on and off the field; from students, to friends, to colleagues, and perhaps even strangers in the grocery store. You probably find yourself coaching others even when you're not thinking about it.
But if you really want your advice to be heard and you really want to create a space for ownership and teachability, Lindsey encourages you to ask for permission FIRST.
Why? Well, you'll have to listen to the episode to find out!

What does it REALLY take to become a mindset coach?
I’ll let you in on a little secret… you don’t need to spend 60k+ getting your Sports Psychology PhD, become the most successful athlete on the planet, or learn how to run every part of a business.
You just need ONE thing (that not everyone has) and that is PASSION.
Let’s rewind 15 years or so… When I started out, Sports Psychology was a fringe term, and one that not a lot of people bought into. I had no idea how to do sales or marketing, how to build a website, or how reach my target audience. I didn’t even know if it was possible to help people AND make money. The one thing I knew is that SOMEONE out there needed to hear my message.
If you’re here today, there’s a chance you feel that same pull.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it takes to be a mindset coach; from investing in your education (in the ways that actually MATTER), to landing your first client, and setting up your business to make money. Better still, I’ll give you everything you need to start working with your first client TODAY..
If you have a pull to become a mindset coach, LISTEN TO IT. All you need is the “why”, the inner belief that will move you forward. You don’t need to know the “how”, I can teach you the “how”.
Because your athletes - the ones whose lives will change once they hear your message- THEY don’t need you to be perfect, they just need YOU..

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
My badass guest today is PPT Certified Mindset Coach and founder of The Elite Competitor Program, Breanne Smedley!
When I first met Breanne in 2019, she had just taken out a new credit card to pay for the MCA Certification. Now, Breanne is making $500k per year AS A MINDSET COACH.
Yep, you read that right.
After graduating from The Mindset Coach Academy, Breanne went on to start The Elite Competitor Program with her sister-in-law, Kristina. Their focus is to give female athletes the mental skills they need to navigate the normal pressures of their sport AND give support and accountability tools to their moms. Today, their business is expanding in every direction with no signs of slowing down.
What I love about this episode is how Breanne takes us through her evolution. She didn’t go from $0 to 500k overnight. Her path to 500k was riddled with self-doubt, failure, dead ends, and general hard stuff. Her success comes from her determination to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Today, she’s giving us an inside look at her mindset and business journey to 500k.
If you are considering joining us for our Mindset Coach Academy Certification program in the spring, or simply want to know what it’s like to become a Mindset Coach, this episode is a must-listen. Breanne is one of our most successful students, and a living example that it is possible to do good work in the world and make money.

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[1:00] Breanne gives a quick intro about her business, The Elite Competitor Program. She talks about why she chose to take the leap and join MCA Certification as new mom, high school teacher, and volleyball coach in 2019.
[7:13] While going through the MCA Certification, Breanne started to feel a responsibility to share mental training with her community. Although she didn’t have a clear vision at the time, she made the choice to put one foot in front of the other.
[13:34] Lindsey and Breanne discuss how she scaled from $60k in 2020, to $120k in 2021, to $500k in 2022.
[17:00] Failed launches, zero enrollments, and messy marketing are all part of the process. Breanne shares her one regret: Not trusting herself more from the very beginning.
[21:09] Breanne talks about about her failed launch in 2020 and how that failure helped her pivot her business and forge the right path. Lindsey and Breanne talk about what it really looks like to “fail forward”
[28:00] Neither Breanne nor her business partner, Kristina, had any experience in business. Lindsey and Breanne get into the importance of both action AND mindset. Breanne talks about finding her niche as a Mindset Coach for female athletes and their moms.
[31:50] Lindsey asks Breanne about the future of The Elite Competitor Program. From a Costa Rican retreat to expanding their business to include training for coaches, Breanne shares what’s next.
[33:00] Wrapping up this episode, Breanne encourages moms of female athletes to reach out and talks a bit about her podcast, The Elite Competitor Podcast.

Today’s episode takes on a different format. It’s messy, it’s real, it’s raw.
In “3 Steps to Turning Regret Into Power”, I asked an old friend, Courtney Thompson (Olympian and mindset advocate), to help me process a personal trauma involving a relationship between myself and my 40 year old coach when I was in high school.
I knew I needed to record this episode with Courtney because, in all honesty, I really, REALLY didn’t want to. But I’ve learned in recent years that telling my story is really liberating. For years, I didn’t talk about it. And by hiding it, I gave it so much power.
Using the steps outlined in the book, The Power of Regret, Courtney did an amazing job of holding space for me. She affirms my process, graciously navigates the grey areas with me, and asks me questions that help me move through my story in a new way and identify new themes.
I feel so grateful that Courtney was willing to coach me through this. My hope in sharing this is that it helps you navigate through a difficult experience or regret that you’re feeling “stuck” on. This is an exercise that I do with my coaches in MCA Insider Mastermind, and every time I do, it creates room for self-forgiveness, healing, and growth.

BONUS Journaling exercise based on “The Power of Regret”
Start by choosing a situation from your past that you regret. Then, journal the 3 step process below.
STEP 1: Self-Disclosure: Relive and Relieve - Talking about your regret takes power away from it. Tell someone you’ve never told before and that you trust.
Journal: Who will you talk to and when?
STEP 2. Self-Compassion: Normalize and Neutralize - Talk to yourself as though you were your best friend.
Journal:
- How can you forgive yourself for what happened in the past?
- What might be another way to think about it?
- Has anything positive come from this situation?
STEP 3: Self-Distancing: Analyze and Strategize - Once you’ve talked about the experience with someone else and cultivated self-compassion, you’re ready to create a plan of action.
Journal:
- How can you grow from this experience?
- How might this help you help someone else?
- How might this experience actually benefit you?
- Is there any part of this experience you’re grateful for?

It’s double the guests, double the good stuff on today’s very special episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast!
Today, I am thrilled to be joined by two Mindset Coach Academy graduates, Bryan Price and Tammy Barlette, for this month’s expert interview! Both of these incredible human beings are badasses in their own right with a common history in military service. Bryan served as a Lieutenant Colonel and an Attack Helicopter Pilot while Tammy served as a Lieutenant Colonel and Fighter Pilot.
Drawing from their individual experiences in the military, we dive into topics like pre-flight jitters, nerves, perfectionism, failure, and handling pressure. AND the very important skill of mistake recovery because, as Tammy puts it, you can't pull over in a cloud! They share a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the mental side of high-risk roles in the military with sharp, clear takeaways that will stick with you.
As natural leaders, self-made experts, and living examples of what they teach, both Bryan and Tammy are some of the most impressive humans I’ve ever met. Their mindset of excellence in all they do has given them wisdom that spans all industries.
I am so proud to say that Bryan and Tammy have gone through our Mindset Coach Academy Certification and have put our teachings into practice to help them build their coaching businesses. I love them as mindset coaches, humans, and students, and I’m so proud to have been a part of their success. They’ve been such a pleasure to have in our community and have taught me so much over the years.

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[1:04] Lindsey asks for a quick intro from Bryan and Tammy. Born and bred in “God’s country” i.e. New Jersey, Bryan shares a very quick version of his very colorful past and what brought him to mindset coaching.Tammy talks about her past in athletics and experience in the Air Force, and what brought her to mental coaching.
[5:30] “I’ll fail out before I ever bail out” Tammy talks about how the military’s “can’t quit” attitude in pilot training was a big motivator for learning to be mentally tough.
[11:35] Bryan talks about what it means to “get your butterflies to fly in formation”. He shares one mindset trick to help him get out of his head and anchor himself to his ultimate purpose.
[16:55] Tammy talks about learning to harness her confidence and handle stress as a pilot. She teaches a simple Air Force process that she still returns to: Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.
[21:25] You update your phone software right away, but when was the last time you updated your mental software? Bryan gets real about some of the challenges facing his students today.
[26:00] Tammy talks about her choice to go to weapons school with a 3 month old and 18 month old. She explains how this tough choice made her more brave, quicker to ask questions, and less afraid of appearing foolish in front of her peers. Bryan expands on how fear of failure and perfectionism stifles teams and organizations.
[31:35] Fear of failure never goes away! With this in mind, Bryan explains why he believes the Navy SEALs are such a good team. Tammy asks the question, “What if you do have failure? What do you do with it?”

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
Praising progress over the result takes intention. Because, when you’re a high performer, you love bringing home that W. So for many of us, letting go of the result takes a lot of practice.
Like, a LOT of practice.
I was at my kid’s soccer game the other day, and she scored two goals. Now, the competitor in me, wanted to cheer, swing her around, and make a huge deal out of it, but I also knew that if I wanted my daughter to praise progress over result I had to be careful about how I celebrated her in that moment.
My daughter knows that I’m proud of her; not because of her two goals, but because she played hard. Because of her EFFORT, not the OUTCOME.
I want my daughter to ask herself, win or lose, “Do I know - in my GUT - that I did my very VERY best?”
In this special extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I explore:
- What does praising progress really look like?
- What’s the ripple effect of praising progress over outcome?
- How can we instill this idea in the people we coach, our kids, and ourselves?
- Is it important to care about results? How can you strike a balance?
Listen to this extended episode and join me as I praise progress over outcome!

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
Today I am joined by Christen Shefchunas, former D1 swimming head coach and current professional Confidence Coach.
Working 1:1 with some of the greatest athletes and teams in the world, Christen coaches Olympians, World Champions, NCAA All Americans, and even high school athletes in their confidence to help them to seize their potential. From what to do in ‘pressure-to-perform’ moments to how to handle daily stressors and fears, Christen is on a mission to help guide a new generation of confident female athletes through her business, Coach Christen.
In addition to her boots-on-the-ground coaching, Christen is the creator of Confidence Nuggets, a bracelet line designed to remind women of their strength, and she’s the author of 30 Days to Confident, a month-long confidence challenge for female athletes.
Christen is a living breathing example of confidence. In this episode, she shares a lof of really simple things that can transform the way we show up in the world. One of my favorite moments from this episode is when Christen talks about the power of normalizing fear. This episode is full of advice that so many of us (dare I say, ALL of us) can benefit from, especially those of us who are women in sports, coach female athletes, or parent female athletes.
Couldn’t we all benefit from having more confidence?
Christen is here to help! Press play, and let me know what you think of my episode with Christen Shefchunas!

And remember to rate, review, and share The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast with your friends, teammates, and colleagues.
Here’s a glance at this episode:
[0:35] During her 16 years of coaching, Christen noticed that women were never the priority. Now, she’s on a mission to build up female athletes through confidence coaching.
[5:18] Christen explains how both fear of failure and social risk can impact an athlete’s performance. Lindsey asks the question, “Do athletes self-sabotage for the sake of fitting in?”
[7:53] How does a confidence coach stay confident? Christen gets vulnerable about what makes her nervous and how she’s trained her own brain to courageously face her insecurities.
[13:29] “You are in control of your life”. This is the phrase that launched Christen’s transition from coach to business owner. Taking us through the ups and downs of her first few years, Christen reminds us that building a business doesn’t happen over night!
[18:05] The moments right before you perform are often the moments that hold you back. Christen doesn’t buy into the idea of being “fearless”, but she does believe in getting honest, facing your fears, and making sure your words match your deepest beliefs.
[22:16] Oftentimes, athletes feel that they’re alone in their fear, but Christen’s never met an athlete without it. She openly talks about a time in her career when she messed up as a coach.
[28:06] Christen shares one fundamental thing she teaches all her athletes to help them accept their pre-competition nervousness and move past it to perform. She chats about her new book and her bracelet line.
[32:57] Lindsey shoots off a few rapid fire questions to get to know Christen. With each question, Lindsey peels back the curtain back on Christen’s personal routines, what she’s reading, what she’s creating, what she’s looking forward to, what she consumes, and what brings her joy.

Run towards failure!
If you want to be successful, you have to become familiar with failure. It’s part of the deal.
No successful business owner has gotten to where they are without a bad launch, no professional athlete has gotten into the big leagues without a bad game, no actor has landed an award-winning role without being told NO a hundred times before. I’m certainly no exception, and neither are you.
Failure is a precursor, inevitability, a rite of passage to success.
In this special, extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I dig deep into the psychology of failure and the big questions surrounding it.
For example:
- Why do we avoid failure? Hint: It has to do with our caveman/lizard brain
- How do the stories we tell ourselves about past or future failures define us?
- How can our fear and avoidance of failure act as a mirror?
- What becoming familiar with failure do to our brain?
- Psychologically speaking, what’s the best way to “run toward failure”?
From failing in the WNBA to failing in business, I talk openly about the times I let myself down. I share the stories I used to tell myself about failure, and how they’ve changed over the years. Finally, I give you tons of actionable tips to help you reframe the way you think about failure.
Listen to this extended episode and join me as I run towards failure!

Today I am so grateful to be joined by the one and only Jake Thompson!
Jake’s resume is impressive, to say the least. He is an author, keynote speaker, coach, business man, and (best of all) an example of everything he teaches. In his trainings, team building workshops, and one on one coaching, he inspires everyone he works with to build grit, accountability, and compete every day for success.
In this episode, we talk about what’s good, what’s hard, and what has worked for him. We get into the problem with trying to be “fearless”, the magnetic influence of the 5 people you spend the most time with, and how to break down your big goals into bite-sized pieces. One of my favorite teachable moments in this episode is when Jake talks about “can’t-see choices that turn into can’t-miss results.”
Coming off of this interview, I feel like I just got a personal coaching session!
Whether you’re an athlete, coach, parent, or a mindset nerd, this interview with Jake Thompson is sure to get you fired up for your goals. Better still, it will help you stay on track making small, meaningful choices every day to achieve those goals and become better athletes and humans.

Are you asking for permission?
…to start your business, to call yourself an expert, to be paid for your skills, to take that vacation, to allow things to be easy, to step into the life that you really want?
Asking for permission is one of the easiest ways to get in your own way and postpone your success. Why? Because, chances are, you’re not immediately surrounded by people who will give you permission.
They may not…
- See or understand your vision
- Believe what you want is possible
- Have an affinity for action
- Have big dreams of their own
- Know how to hold space for you
- Even know you need support
And when you leave it up to outside forces, you may never get the permission you’re looking for. In today’s episode, i talk about the importance of giving YOURSELF permission.
I dig into:
- Where the habit of asking for permission comes from (think: kindergarten)
- Why we often surround ourselves with the wrong people (and why it’s human nature)
- How our inner beliefs can make things harder and hold us back.
- Why change is so hard, and what you can do about it.
Listen to this extended episode to give yourself permission, once and for all!

Today I am thrilled to be interviewing my dear friend (and overall badass human being), Jenn Starkey!
Jenn is an author, a mindset coach, and a softball coach. She’s best known for putting on events for adolescent softball players that “challenge what most people believe is possible”
I absolutely love this interview with Jenn because she is not afraid to put it all out there, and I mean put it ALL out there. Jenn has been through so much in her personal and professional life, and she has learned to harness the messy parts of herself in a way that makes her, her athletes, and everyone around her BETTER. Jenn is earnest, optimistic, and truly one of the toughest people I know.
In this interview, Jenn talks openly about how she spent a year of her life training in Brazillian Jiu Jitsu as a way of processing pain and trauma from her past and starting a new chapter. She shares that she’s in the process of reinventing herself, and approaches this conversation with the kind of openness that takes an interview from good to great. Forged through the fire, Jenn has grown into a strong, vulnerable, person, amazing step mom, and kickass coach that is more than worthy of the spotlight.
Don’t we all love a good comeback story?
This is one of my very favorite episodes to date, and a reminder to all of us to invest in OURSELVES first.

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
Is it fair to say that we (as a society) have worn out the word “confidence”?
Sometimes it feels like such a buzzword that it becomes hard to think of it in a new way. But today, I’m going to do my best to shed new light on this keyword.
For the next few minutes, I want to challenge you to think of confidence as the antidote to fear. As an action that we have the power to take in response to our fear. I want you to think about confidence as a verb.
If confidence is a verb, then it’s something you can stop waiting around for. Something you can actively grow and cultivate in your own life, something within your reach regardless of how you feel today or in any given situation.
In our cornerstone blog, 5 Myths About Confidence, we talk about the origin of confidence, the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic confidence, and finally, we debunk 5 common myths about confidence.
In this special extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I’m going through each myth, one at a time, and sharing personal examples along the way to help me show you why you shouldn’t believe them.
Here are the 5 myths about confidence in question:
- Confidence is a result of success
- You have to feel confident to take action
- Faking it til you make it doesn’t work
- Confident people are confident all the time
- Some people are just born confident
In this episode, I explain why confidence is always in your grasp and offer you simple ways you can cultivate it. I share examples from my own life and give you advice to help you (and your team) build real, bulletproof, lifelong confidence that is based on internal belief and self-alignment, not on conditions or fragile ego.
Press play to be on your way to better confidence!

“I love Lindsey’s straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”
In today's Mental Monday, Lindsey is encouraging you to give your body what it really needs: Sleep.
Drawing from her personal experience, Lindsey reminds you that oftentimes, the answer to feeling your best really is that simple.
In this first Mental Monday of August, we are talking about how the body processes STRESS.
Everyone experiences stress, it's just part of life. But what many of us don't know is that just handling the thing that is causing us stress (like paying that stressful bill, or cleaning your house) may solve the problem on the outside, but it doesn't actually cleanse stress from the body.
In this episode, Lindsey shares a proven technique for helping your body process and recover from stress.

Today on the podcast, I am joined by founder and CEO of Master Your Mindset, sales psychology expert, and former two-sport, D1 athlete, Collin Henderson!
As a 7 time author, podcast host, Fortune 500 speaker, online course creator, and regular contributor to Russell Wilson’s Limitless Minds, Collin’s innovative ideas bridge the gap between athletes and high performers in business. Collin brings his athlete mindset to everything he does, and provides insight that is truly global and applicable to everyone.
Oh, and did I mention he’s a husband and father to 5 great kiddos? This man truly does it all.
Collin’s is truly a story of transformation. From wrestling with crippling anxiety to finding high level success in sports, sales, and in life, Collin is a living example of everything he teaches. His willingness to teach, unique and grounded perspective on mindset work, lightheartedness, and refreshing vulnerability made my episode with Collin truly memorable and 100% worth a listen.

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[3:25] Collin begins with his ‘why’. He shares about a memorable moment in his early sports career and how a sales mentor helped put him on his path to becoming the confident and successful person he is today.
[11:17] What does the roadmap look like for starting a business? Collin shares an overview of his GPS business-building model and why he believes in giving your “best stuff” away.
[14:42] Collin gets vulnerable about his lifelong relationship with anxiety. From practicing public speaking through Toastmasters to doing free mental training consultations at Starbucks, Collin built his business with a growth mindset, dedication to his craft, and champion-level bravery.
[17:54] “Sales psychology beats sales strategy” Collin explains how his background in sales launched every other part of his career. Then, he launches into his ideology around making a sale. His first piece of sales advice? Be a human.
[27:12] Lindsey and Collin chat about the importance of finding the right clients and why, as Collin puts it, “The person with nothing to prove is the most dangerous person in the room”.
[32:37] How do you become more comfortable being on camera and being in front of people? Collin makes the case that “different is better than better… and boring will put you out of business”.
[41:12] Your self-image comfort zone directly reflects how much you charge. From bringing engaging activities to assigning pre-session homework, Collin explains how you can make yourself stand out, add immense value to your services, and create recurring customers with just a little extra effort.
[43:57] Lindsey shoots off a few rapid-fire questions to get to know Collin. With each question, Lindsey peels back the curtain back on Collin’s personal routines, what he’s reading, what he consumes from a content perspective, and what brings him joy.
[47:49] What’s your story? The brain learns through stories. Whether you’re a teacher or a coach, you will increase your impact tenfold by simply reframing your lessons as stories and metaphors.
[50:16] Lindsey and Collin wrap up their episode by talking about Collin’s latest (and favorite) book he’s written, “Quiet Mind”. And finally, Collin offers a quick explanation of his cornerstone exercise for kids and adults, The BEST Method.
Welcome to Mental Monday!
Today, we are taking a good, hard look at the fork in the road; the one that gives you the choice to either take action toward a situation or change the way you think about that situation.
Lindsey shares what's been going on in her own life and how her choices have helped her stay grounded during a chaotic time in her life.
How do you feel about your to-do list? Do you treat it like a giant brain dump or are you really intentional about what you put on it?
Lindsey talks about the importance of making commitments to yourself (even when nobody's watching) in today's Mental Monday.
What’s your big goal right now? Great! Now take that goal and 10x it.
Yes, really.
In today’s podcast, I’m talking about confidence in a new way; one that is personal to me as I work to grow my business and set big monetary goals for myself.
As I work on my own mindset around my big goals, I’m reminded time and time again that goals are not a matter of self-discipline, they’re a matter of confidence.
Why?
Because nobody works toward something that they think is impossible.
But despite what you may think, being confident isn’t believing 100% that your goals are achievable. Being confident means waking up every day and focusing on what is in your control. Being confident means living like your big goals are achievable. Living like the person you want to become. The person who makes 10 million dollars, or writes 10 novels, or wins 10 superbowls.
Who are you? What do you want to accomplish with your life? What do you tell people is important to you? Are your actions in line with that?
Take your big goal, 10x it, and start living like you’ll accomplish it.
In today’s extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I’ll share:
- How to create powerful affirmations to help you achieve your stretch goals
- Why shrinking your goals is never the answer (and what to do instead)
- My big 10x goal & how it influences my day-to-day routine
- A bunch of resources to help you and your athletes become more confident

Today on the podcast, I am pleased to introduce the founder of Changing The Game Project, author of two #1 best-selling books, podcast host, and internationally known speaker (including TEDx and The U.S. Olympic Committee), John O’Sullivan!
John and I go way back; we’ve spoken at conferences together, we’ve done booths together, and we’ve learned from one another. He’s someone I respect, admire, cheer for, and look up to in the sports world. John is known for his wealth of practical, hands-on knowledge, and his passion for helping parents and coaches show up for their athletes in ways that really matter. He believes in creating a player-centered environment and tough-love coaching with compassion.
What makes this episode stand out as being particularly relevant to parents and coaches is that John talks in-depth about how we can support young people RIGHT NOW, as the ripple effects of COVID-19 impact our world today. He gives sage advice about how you can support your athletes, push your athletes, and also hold space for their unique mindset challenges during this time.
After being a guest on John O’Sullivan’s Way of Champions Podcast, it was so fun to put him in the hot seat and sit in the student’s chair.
I love this conversation, I learned a ton, and I’m sure you will too.

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[4:32] John begins by telling us about his upcoming virtual conference and its impressive line-up of speakers, including Steve Kerr, Dave Aranda, Trevor Ragan, and Ron Adams.
[8:22] How can we support athletes in a COVID-19 world? John talks openly about the importance of addressing athletes’ mental health. He points to a notable increase in eating disorders, anxiety, and divorce. In his words, “in the last two years, the amount of kids I know in [these situations] are probably equivalent to the previous 25 years combined.”
[15:12] When athlete behavior changes, there’s usually something going on behind the scenes. John suggests asking one key question to get the conversation rolling, and shares how at-home stress can manifest on the field. Finally, John explains how he actively works to create a safe and joyful space at practice.
[23:28] John answers the question, “How can you hold athletes to a high standard while they’re struggling?” He likens cognitive injuries to physical injuries and encourages coaches and parents to treat them with compassion while holding them to a ‘rehabilitation plan’.
[29:53] Burnout is REAL. John believes the best way to prevent burnout is to put yourself first, and sometimes that means hitting the brakes. If we can’t take care of ourselves, we’ll never be able to fully show up for others.
[37:12] Peeling back the curtain on his own practice with mindfulness, John knows from experience that just a few minutes a day of mindfulness can be life-changing.
[41:36] John and Lindsey wrap up our episode today with 5 rapid-fire questions. With a quick discussion about Atomic Habits, John’s favorite outdoor activities, his family, and his love of coaching, John leaves us a few final nuggets of wisdom to end the episode!
Unless you're the most zen person in the world, chances are, meditation isn't always easy for you.
In today's Mental Monday, Lindsey insists that you are not alone.
This episode is designed to help you in your own meditation practice and give you tips as you guide others through their meditation and mindfulness journey.
If you're ready to make mindfulness a bigger part of your life, check out The Mindful Competitor Project. This snob-free course is full of mindfulness exercises that are specifically designed to help athletes better navigate their unique challenges: https://www.positiveperformancetraining.com/mindful-competitors
In today's Mental Monday, we are choosing to take action before we feel "ready".
It's easy to get stuck in perfection purgatory, feel overwhelmed, and procrastinate until some magical future date when you think you'll have it all figured out. But Lindsey argues that the better choice is to do a shitty first draft, get it out, and grow from there.
Let’s say your athlete sucks at free throws.
As a coach, you know what to do. You know to take a look at their form, correct anything that needs correcting, and have them spend lots and lots of time practicing free throws.
But what if your athlete is great at free throws in practice, but totally falls apart in competition. Then what?
I think we can all agree this scenario is a little trickier.
While coaching the physical side of competition is pretty straightforward, coaching the mental game is often abiguous. And sadly, even the best competitors are not always good at teaching others to be great competitors.
Many great competitors come to it naturally. Some are born with natural competitive instincts, and some simply play long enough that they eventually figure it out (but never really break it down into a teachable formula). As a coach, maybe you fall into one of these two categories.
If you’ve ever struggled to teach your athletes how to compete, you are not alone.
I was fortunate enough to have a teacher show me how to compete, and it’s my joy to pass their wisdom along.
Today, I’m breaking down my 3 part formula for creating better competitors (featured in my course, The Psychology of Competition). I believe that consistent routines lead to consistent results, so my system is built on time-tested, hands-on routines that you can bring back to your team and easily integrate into practice and competition.
In this episode, I’ll teach you:
- Pre-Competition Routines - How you can help your athletes reframe their nerves, reflect on past performances, pay attention to their physiological mindstate before competition, and coach them through simple exercises to help them compete at their best.
- In-Competition Routines - Learn about our hard-hitting Mistake Ritual that will help your athletes re-set and re-center during competition when they need it most.
- Post-Competition Routines - Including one powerful critiquing exercise your athletes should be doing after every game, win or lose.
Today’s extended episode will give you real-life, actionable tips to help you create relentless competitors.

Lindsey gets vulnerable in today's Mental Monday as she shares one mindset shift she practices to help her through the toughest times.

Today on the podcast, I am joined by author, podcast host, founder of Train Ugly and the Learner Lab; my friend and fellow lifelong student, Trevor Ragan!
Working with best selling authors, Olympic coaches, professional athletes, renowned professors, and thousands of coaches, teachers, students, and players from all over the world, Trevor is (in his words) “On an adventure to understand the science of how to become a better learner”.
Due to his years and years of research, boots-on-the-ground, and behind-the-scenes, Trevor has a special ability to dissect and synthesize really complicated concepts and research into exercises and ideas that you and I can implement. He’s a man of science and great insight beyond his years.
In this episode, we get deep into the topic of fixed vs. growth mindset, how to run towards fear, and how your beliefs ABOUT your emotions actually shape your experience. He shares stories of middle school “anti-talent shows”, talks about the need for psychological safety in teams, and even opens up about being diagnosed with cancer.
When I first started my podcast, my husband told me, “interview people that you want to learn from”, and Trevor was high on my list. If you hear the scratch of my pencil in the background, It’s because I was scribbling notes the entire time.

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[5:06] Trevor talks about how he got here; from creating basketball programs, to creating programs for prisons. Lindsey and Trevor discuss the learning curve for new mindset coaches, failing on a public stage, and what Dave Chappelle has to do with it.
[12:21] Starting with the quote, “If you want to change a behavior, attack it at the mindet and environment, not just the behavior” Trevor explains how he (personally) runs toward fear. He also talks about the science of stress, and gives tips to help you shift the way you think about stress and other “negative” emotions.
[17:06] Struggle feeds a fixed mindset. But if you can start to see stress as physical preparation and a necessary part of growth, you can build a growth mindset and increase your capacity for discomfort..
[22:36] How does your understanding of nerves affect your experience? Trevor points out the problem with toxic positivity, and explains in great detail how you can make room and process difficult human emotions.
[25:16] Psychological safety is “The feeling that I can be myself, take risks, and ask questions”. It’s also the key to great teams (and the science backs it up). When you don’t feel psychologically safe in a group, the learning centers of your brain shut down, and you’re less likely to engage in learning behaviors.
[30:19] What can a middle school “anti-talent show” teach us about psychological safety? Trevor shares his experience to illustrate his belief that modeling behaviors of vulnerability and bravery and failure builds safety.
[33:28] Trevor talks about his audiobook (linked above) which includes guest voices and sound effects to give the listener an immersive learning experience.
[38:46] We all want to be the best, right? But Trevor asks the question, “Do you really need to be a master at something for it to have a massive effect on others?” Trevor makes his case for settling for “B+ work” and talks about how he uses storytelling as a cornerstone of teaching.
[45:20] Trevor speaks vulnerably about what it was like to be diagnosed with cancer and what he learned during and after the experience.
[52:41] Lindsey and Trevor wrap up their episode with actionable ways to grow your mindset and be more intentional about learning. Trevor believes in creating small, sustainable routines to create long term change and growth.

I’m sitting on my office floor. Pregnant. In the middle of a construction zone. And in all the chaos, what I really want to talk about today is JOY.
Any college athlete can tell you that sometimes the team just needs a break. Maybe you’re all burnt out after a long tournament, maybe you’re in the middle of a losing streak, maybe you’re about to go into finals week.
When my team needed a break the most, you know what my coach would do? He wouldn’t cancel practice. He wouldn’t give us an easy practice. He would have us play indoor soccer (and he’d play it with us).
Let me remind you that this was my BASKETBALL coach.
And you know what? The simple act of doing an activity that we were all pretty bad at changed EVERYTHING. These indoor soccer practices were so much fun. The room would be filled with laughter, we would be playful, joyful, and totally lose track of time. We would let go of our egos and try to bounce the ball off our coaches head.
And guess what? The next day at practice would be so much lighter.
Which brings me to my big question today: How are you carving out space for joy in your life?
As competitive athletes, we are hard workers. It’s second nature to us to put in the time, put our heads down, and grind. But this type of mindset can have diminishing returns. Sometimes, the answer isn’t to work harder. Sometimes the answer is to invite joy, fun, and playfulness back into your life.
Today’s extended episode will give you real-life, actionable tips to help you pursue joy. Listen to the full episode for:
- How to train your brain to attract joy in your life
- Tips for making today more joyful (+ the ultimate reward)
- What it looks like to create a positive feedback loop
- A quick life update from Lindsey
When was the last time you checked in with your body? Like, really checked in.
If you're feeling frazzled, tired, or stressed, sometimes the answer isn't to push yourself into doing more. Sometimes, what you really need is to make your nervous system a priority.
Here's how.

Today on the podcast, I’m chatting all things mindset with a leadership development coach, author, mental performance expert, and your next favorite Instagram follow, James Leath!
James and I, in many ways, grew up in the mental training world together (since, ya know, before it was cool). And as much as he is a colleague, he is also a friend and an inspiration to me and anyone in his path.
A lifelong student (in and out of the classroom), James has a Bachelors in Communication, a Masters in Performance Psychology, and almost 20 years of coaching experience. He has worked for companies like IMG Academy, USA Swimming, Positive Coaching Alliance, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Chicago Bulls organization.
As you’ll see in our episode, James is a captivating keynote speaker, a true gift to every team and individual he coaches, and an endless source of knowledge regarding sports psychology. And through his many lives as a coach, an actor, and an entrepreneur, James ties all his success back to his mindset.
Throughout the episode, James is a natural teacher and visionary, effortlessly sharing hard-hitting stories and metaphors that beautifully illustrate themes like integrity and perspective, and other topics that are often hard to pin down.
What makes James such an amazing guest on this episode is the fact that he lives what he teaches, and he creates everything with intention and follow-through. He is equal parts inspiring as he is witty and entertaining. With an infectious attitude that will leave you absolutely pumped up and ready to run through a brick wall, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[4:40] James opens the episode by sharing how he brings mental training to athletes today in a plug-and-play, intentional format.
[9:13] Lindsey asks the question, “What advice would you give a coach who wants to start mental training today?” James believes time doesn’t need to be a barrier; instead, he believes you just need to carve out space for athletes. James shares one of his favorite analogies for defining integrity, and discusses the unique challenges facing athletes today.
[13:38] What can the kids game, Zip, Zap, Zop teach us about failure? James reminisces about two exercises he taught his team that helped them lean into silliness and play without fear of failure. As he puts it, “If we’re playing a game and we’re having fun, the winning takes care of itself”.
[19:19] What is James focusing on right now, and what does mindset have to do with it? James shares all about his newest book, inspired by the children’s tale, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, (only, written from the perspective of the wolf.)
[25:05] James shares what’s on his reading list (hint: you probably wrote a book report about it), and tells an offbeat tale about how Jillian Michaels changed his life.
[30:15] Doing the work isn’t easy; it takes, energy, time, space, and intention. And when it comes to holding space for athletes, James and Lindsey acknowledge that it’s messy. Oftentimes, holding space for athletes means going against your high-performance, action-oriented instincts.
[38:05] As a coach, you have to think about your athlete’s experience and remember that, however trivial their pressure, disappointment, or stress might seem, it’s valid. James believes that Mr. Rogers’ lived out this example of empathy beautifully.
[41:30] James ties his cold plunge practice to deep mindset work. He explains how he uses positive self-talk and body language to influence his body’s experience.
[44:02] Lindsey and James wrap up their episode by disucussing the psychological power of storytelling. Want to better understand the psychology of the kids you coach? James leaves you with two fiction book recommendations.

(TW: Cursing)
Who in their right mind jumps into a freezing cold lake in the middle of March?
She asks, soaked in lake water and shivering through her teeth
The short answer? Because it’s brave. And because doing brave things reminds us that we are strong.
This week in The Mindset Coach Academy, we all made a commitment to do something that scares the s*** out of us. Some coaches chose to sing karaoke, join a dating app, sign up for an improv class, or have a difficult conversation with a loved one. I chose to run into a 43° lake.
As humans, we are wired to run from fear. It’s our survival instinct at it’s finest! But there is real, physical danger, like fighting off a bear or doing something stupid on a skateboard, and there is perceived danger, like asking someone on a date, having stage fright, or cold water. And your brain doesn’t really know how to distinguish one from the other.
That’s why exercises in bravery are so important. When we do brave things, we practice overriding our natural fear instincts. And all of this creates a dramatic ripple effect throughout our entire lives.
Today’s extended episode will give you real-life, actionable tips to help you run towards fear.
Listen to the full episode for:
- The best time to do something scary
- Tips to help you choose your brave activity (+ the ultimate reward)
- What happens in your brain when you do something scary
- 5 actionable steps to help you run towards fear
Are your actions aligned with who you want to be?
When it comes to pursuing our life goals, motivation comes and goes. And that's why it's absolutely vital to anchor yourself to your "why".
As a coach, you have to sit in the student's seat FIRST, so press play, listen to the episode, and get to work defining your "why".

In our final Mental Monday of March, Lindsey gives you permission to put yourself first.
She offers one simple mindset hack to help you reframe what it means to be 'selfish' to ultimately invite more joy, purpose, and fulfillment into your life.

You might recognize my highly esteemed guest today as one half of what was once called “the greatest beach volleyball team of all time”
With three (yes THREE) Olympic gold medals and one Olympic bronze medal to her name, Kerri Walsh Jennings is a Beach Volleyball legend and a force to be reckoned with.
What makes Kerri such an amazing guest on this podcast is the fact that she truly lives what she teaches. Not only is it evident on the scoreboard, it permeates every part of her life, on and off the court.
Juggling her elite career with being a wife and a mother of three, Kerri shares deep, internal wisdom about the importance of choice, cultivating joy, and what it takes to earn the mindset of a champion. She is vulnerable, honest, eloquent, and an endless fountain of wisdom for all things sports and motherhood.
Through commentary about Mikaela Shiffrin at the 2022 Winter Olympics, stories of family and coaching her son through a loss, and awesome quotes that somehow come to her at the perfect time every time, Kerri proves time and time again that she is a gifted storyteller and a natural teacher.
This interview is one I know I will return to time and time again.
About Platform 1440:
P1440 was founded by Kerri Walsh Jennings and her husband (and fellow Beach Volleyball legend), Casey Jennings to engage, equip, and encourage beach volleyball athletes to pursue their dreams. P1440 gives athletes direct opportunities to compete and grow alongside a dedicated community of high performers and big dreamers.

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[4:24] Lindsey and Kerri discuss the fallacy of perfectionism and Kerri’s relationship with failure through her younger years. She discusses her crushing disappointment at Rio and what it took to push through it.
[9:21] “Our job is to show up and do our best.” Kerri relates her experience at Rio to Olympic Alpine Skiier, Mikaela Shiffrin, and encourages athletes like her to reframe the way they think about failure.
[12:54] What does the phrase “Play so hard to win that it hurts so bad to lose” mean to an Olympian?
[16:06] Purpose and self-love through the ups and downs are essential to being a successful athlete and happy human. In Kerri’s words, “If you don’t love yourself because you’re in a funk right now, you’re literally playing for the other team; you’re fighting against yourself.”
[17:53] Quoting Andrew Huberman, Kerri insists we need to be having conversations with children about the power we have within to create our outside environment. And we have to understand that greatness takes time.
[19:39] Not unlike the lion and the gazelle, how we interpret stress actually impacts how our bodies respond to it.
[24:44] Kerri remembers a conversation with her Sports Psychologist that changed everything.
In summary, the words you choose MATTER because every word you speak is MOMENTUM.
[30:39] What does it look like to be an Olympic athlete and a mother of three? Kerri’s vulnerable answer includes an acknowledgment that It’s messy.
[38:04] “If you’re committed, you have to commit through the good times and the hard times…” Kerri describes her complex pursuit of greatness and her commitment to her purpose, as an athlete, a wife, and a mother.
[45:30] Kerri describes a few surprising ways in which becoming a mother helped her in her career. She makes a case for defining your life pillars and filtering your actions accordingly.
[50:11] Kerry shares a relatable story about coaching her son through a big loss. She reminds him, “The truth of who you are is unafraid”.
[55:42] Lindsey and Kerri wrap up their episode by outlining Kerri’s mental training routine - on and off game days. From sleep, to cold plunging, to journaling, to talking it out, being where your feet are, and choosing what feels good, Kerri believes in creating sustainable routines that last a lifetime and cultivate joy.
In today's Mental Monday, Lindsey introduces a straightforward concept that will change the way you view your priorities.
She explains how you can create more joy in your life with a simple mindset shift and a few expert tips!
Are you carrying the weight of self-blame? Lindsey launches today's Mental Monday with a quick mindset check-in.
A key characteristic of athletes and high performers is HIGH STANDARDS. These are the same high standards that fuel late workouts, final sprints to the finish, and fierce competitiveness. But the dark side of high standards is often shame. Shame when you miss a shot, don't make the starting lineup, or let down the team.
But what if it didn't have to be this way? What if you could have high standards without shame? Without beating yourself up when you fail?

The hardest part of real life is not having a scoreboard.
This truth hits athletes hard. Because unlike in sports, in the REAL world, feedback isn’t always at your fingertips. It’s sort of like playing a game and not knowing until you’re winning or losing until the buzzer.
Whether you’re starting a business and trying to get your first client, starting a new workout plan, interviewing for a new job, or throwing yourself into the dating game, you often don’t know how close you are to success until it happens.
And, truth be told, so many people quit right before that big reward hits.
Putting yourself out there and really hustling toward your goal is hard. And when all you hear is crickets, it’s just human nature to want to pull back or retreat altogether.
Today’s extended episode will give you real-life, actionable tips to help you keep going and see the path forward… even when you don’t have a scoreboard.
Listen to the full episode for:
-
The role of community in achieving your goals

When we have a to-do list that goes on for miles, most of us freeze in place. Like a deer in headlights, unable to make progress or prioritize.
In today's Mental Monday, Lindsey offers her tried-and-true mindset tips to shake out of analysis paralysis and take action.

It's Mental Monday! And today is all about the controversial belief that fear isn't always a bad thing.
Lindsey teaches about the science of fear and offers a few questions you can ask to help you discern between fear that limits you from your potential and fear that protects you from real harm.
Our very special guest today is Stacy Dales!
Stacy has an impressive sports resume, playing for the Canadian National Team in the Olympics and earning All-American status at Oklahoma. Collecting all the awards along the way, she was drafted 3rd into the WNBA and went on to expand her repertoire as a reporter for ESPN. This all-around powerhouse is currently killing it as a reporter for the NFL network.
In addition to her iconic career in sports, Stacy leads with humor and kindness (I’ll give her a pass for a little game-time trash-talk). Although we met as opponents, I have always looked up to Stacy. She’s had her eye on the prize since I’ve known her and bleeds integrity into everything she does, making her an inspiration to myself and so many others. As a prominent sports reporter, this woman is paving the way for future generations of female game players and reporters, and I truly can’t think of a better role model.
From start to finish, Stacy’s interview is full of tough-love nuggets of wisdom, honest reflections, and refreshing humility. To have the opportunity to turn the tables on an expert interviewer and put her in the hot seat was an absolute pleasure.
You can follow Stacy on IG @stacydales and watch her kick butt as a reporter for the NFL Network!
Here’s a glance at this episode:
[0:28] Lindsey introduces Stacy Dales, former Olympian and current sideline reporter for the NFL
[6:04] “I believe that champions are made when nobody’s watching” and “confidence comes from demonstrated ability”. Stacy shares what both of these phrases mean to her and how her mindset training as an athlete informs her career today.
[8:18] Stacy describes how she’s learned to embrace fear and shares her process for preparing her mind for high-pressure assignments.
[11:30] What’s an NFL reporter’s mental training routine like? From physical workouts, to memory hacks, and an intricate storytelling ritual, Stacy lets us in on her secrets to success.
[14:25] We all self-sabotage. It’s human nature. But once you have awareness around all the ways you self-sabotage, you reclaim your power.
[16:30] You can both expect greatness and expect that failure will happen. Learning to live with human imperfections and high expectations isn’t always easy, but learning to see your imperfections with grace can fuel greatness.
[20:25] Stacy makes a case for simplicity; i.e. creating guidelines and routines that reflect your natural strengths and support the success you want to see in your life.
[22:53] What are the most joyful moments of Stacy’s job? Her vulnerable answer includes the very real responsibility of telling other people’s stories and the pride she feels for being a woman in sports today.
[25:40] Lindsey and Stacy chat about kindness, putting in the work, and always delivering early. And wrap up their episode by discussing Stacy’s next steps in work and life and the importance of self-grace.
Do you believe that you can outrun failure?
While Lindsey is a firm believer in learning from others' mistakes, and avoiding unnecessary failure, she reminds her students that failure is inevitable and anyone who takes risks will, at some point in their career, experience failure.
Lindsey examines the difference between outrunning failure, expecting failure, and the false expectation you will never fail.
"Emotions shape, they don't just describe"
In today's Mental Monday, Lindsey challenges you to think about the language you're using to describe the world around you and how your words shape your experience.
This episode is a firm reminder that your experience is never objective, and that can be a good thing!
Borrowing the above quote from Brene Brown, Lindsey will teach you to reclaim your story with the simple practice of reframing the way you talk about it.

As high performers, many of us fool ourselves into thinking we can achieve our goals just by gritting our teeth and getting to work. We like hard work, It makes us feel like we’re earning our success. But that ‘no pain, no gain’ mentality often causes us to make things much harder than they need to be.
We overestimate the importance of hard work, and we underestimate the cost of figuring out the ‘how’.
It’s like showing up to the gym without a planned workout. We spend half our time wasting valuable energy just trying to figure out what to do.
But the truth is, when you rely on hard work alone without a roadmap, you make every mistake in the book and burn through your initial momentum. You get discouraged and blame yourself when it doesn’t pan out the way you hoped.
But your work ethic isn’t the problem. The problem is that you haven’t allowed yourself to ask for help. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: Not allowing yourself to get a coach or a guide can be a significant sign that you’re self-sabotaging.
Taking shortcuts, asking for help, and finding resources to support you does not invalidate your hard work. It doesn’t mean you’re lazy. It means you understand that if you want to achieve big goals, you’re better off doing it with support.
Let someone else provide your roadmap so you can show up and work hard at what matters the most. So you can save time, avoid unnecessary mistakes, and gain confident, momentum, and resilience.
Break the cycle now, and get yourself a coach!

3 Qualities to look for in a coach

What happens to your brain when you hire a coach
Despite what your badass, high-performance brain might want you to think, “effortless” is not a 4-letter word.
In today's Mental Monday, Lindsey talks about the value of approaching change with a positive mindset. She challenges you to do more of what you're good at, and teaches a simple thought exercise that will help.
If you want to make a change in your life, this Mental Monday will help you approach it with a powerful, positive mindset.
Today's lesson begins with the question: Where can you save your energy?
High performers and athlete-minded people like you are willing to do the work, whatever it takes, to get where you want to go. But many accept unnecessary difficulty along the way.
In today's episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, Lindsey challenges you to focus your energy on what matters most as you push yourself toward that next level.
Listen to this Mental Monday episode for real life examples and actionable tips.

When I locked down an interview with Courtney Thompson, I might as well have taken home the gold.
Not only is Courtney a 2-time Olympic medalist with a professional resume that goes on for miles, Courtney is an advocate for mental training, and credits mindset work for a lot of her success, on and off the court.
A champion on multiple levels, Courtney is living proof of the power of mental training, and has dedicated her life to giving back to the sports world and making real, meaningful change in her athletes.
She’s a fountain of wisdom and a total badass.
In this episode, Courtney talks vulnerably about human things like self-doubt and imperfection, even at the elite level. She talks about how she cultivates confidence and inner wisdom, and shares her experience coaching a new generation of college athletes at Stanford University. She ends the episode with an actionable mental training nugget: The exact mental exercise she practices to help her let go of the uncontrollables.
It’s not every day you get to be coached by an Olympian.
Through stories of how she practiced mental training before she even knew what it was, to a comical anecdote about getting the yips in front of her athletes, Courtney is equal parts entertaining and inspirational.
From start to finish, my interview with THE Courtney Thompson was an absolute delight. And I can say with confidence that there’s something in this episode for everyone.
Let’s dive in!
Here’s a glance at this episode:
[0:00] Lindsey introduces her first guest on the podcast, two-time Olympian, Courtney Thompson!
[4:06] When Courtney joined the Olympic team, she was taught, “There are 3 things you can train as a human, your body, your craft, and your mind.”
[6:50] Although the benefits of mental training reverberate through your whole life, you still have to train and retrain your mind in every context; in and out of sports.
[9:06] Before she learned mental training, Courtney often used daily habits and superstition to try to recreate the mental magic she felt on the days when everything just flowed.
[13:01] Why responding positively to failure doesn’t make you a worse athlete, it makes you a better one, according to Courtney.
[14:46] Courtney describes her ‘aha moment’ when she decided to change what she was doing and start training her mind.
[17:51] What’s an Olympian’s mental training routine like? Courtney shares the details; now, and back when she was a competitive athlete.
[20:09] Courtney shares the very mental training exercise she practiced as a pro athlete to help her let go of the un-controllables before she stepped on the court.
[26:22] Why front-loading mental skills is a game-changer because you can’t always “think your way out of” your fight or flight response.
[30:09] Courtney shares the way she now approaches in-the-moment mental training as a coach with her athletes.
[33:43] Lindsey asks, “How do you prepare yourself to be successful?” Courtney responds with a discussion about her relationship with meditation and the inner wisdom it cultivates.
[36:51] Courtney shares the hard-hitting questions she asks her athletes to help them be more aware of their internal thoughts, self-talk, and mindset.
[40:56] We are all in the pursuit of being our best, and mindset work is a continual practice.
Part of being a coach is going through feelings of pressure, failure, resistance, and self-doubt; that part never goes away.
[48:48] Why is it important to be vulnerable as a coach? It takes a lot of confidence to admit that we’re scared, but there’s not an athlete in the world that hasn’t felt that way.
[51:06] Courtney shares the ONE THING she would tell someone who was just starting their mental training journey.
[54:31] Lindsey and Courtney wrap up the episode by discussing how Courtney hopes to grow her mindset in 2022, including one (semi-surprising) mindfulness practice rooted in buddhism.
Don’t let another year go by feeling overwhelmed or distracted by a goal that you aren’t fully committed to.
Today's Mental Monday is about auditing your goals and paying attention to areas of friction in your life.
So before you set new goals, listen to this podcast for a valuable, goal-setting exercise that will help stay honest with yourself and move forward with purpose.

High-Performers often think that if they just apply enough self-discipline to a goal, they'll achieve it. And sometimes that works. But is that the best option? Absolutely not.
In today's Mental Monday, Lindsey shares a lesson she learned when she was training to become a hypnotist. The technique she shares today will enable you to achieve anything you want in 2022 more effortlessly, simply by using the power of your mind.

So allow me to be the first to say…
Welcome to The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast!
I’m Lindsey Wilson; former pro athlete, high performance mindset coach, and entrepreneur. Here, we will dive into all things MINDSET.
Every single mindset skill I teach here I have personally worked on; as an athlete, a business owner, a mom, and a human. Together, you and I will sit in the student chair and study the art of motivation, visualization, focus, bravery, and high performance. We will work on our own mindset and even talk about how to build a mindset coaching business from the ground up (if that’s your thing).
