Mike (2GALAG) ,

Phenomenal

Great insight into the mind of an athlete

kwilson98 ,

Highly recommend!

Listening to this podcast has given me some great ideas to use with athletes and has made me realize a lot of the common experiences that athletes share but often think they are experiencing alone. The casual, yet knowledgeable style of the episodes make it easy to listen to and feels like you’re just having a conversation with a teammate. Can’t wait for more episodes, highly recommend!
