    Episode 22 - Ethics in Sport Psychology

    Episode 22 - Ethics in Sport Psychology In this episode, I share insights into the limitations of Sport Psychology and reflections on when an athlete becomes a patient due to psychological illnesses. This episode is inspired by the psychologist and sport psychologist Dr. Henrik Herrebroden and his keynote on ethics. I also share the elite referee Tom Henning Øvreboe's study on Norwegian Elite Athletes and their scores on psychological illnesses. His study from 2023 can be read here. I am also sharing reflections on solutions raising the common question: Should the Sport Psychologist Consultant stop the collaboration with the athlete with a psychological illness? Or should the Sport Psychologist Consultant continue the alliance? Listen and give me YOUR opinion.

Whether you’re an athlete, leader, or professional seeking growth, this conversation will help you shift from reaction to reflection — and turn every piece of feedback into an opportunity to get better. 🎧 Listen now — and learn how to turn critique into clarity, and pressure into progress. 🔗 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/danielosen ☕ Support the show: www.buymeacoffee.com/danielosen 🌐 Website: www.mentaltrenerosen.no 🎧 More episodes: Mind Set Go on Spotify

    Episode 17 - Mental Traning for High Readiness Professions

    In this episode of Mind Set Go, host Daniel Osen unpacks the science and practice of mental training in high readiness professions—drawing from his own bachelor thesis on performance psychology in the police. Why do elite athletes invest in psychological training, but many emergency professionals don’t? Daniel explores the transferable tools from sport psychology—goal setting, visualisation, relaxation, and self-talk—and how these methods can enhance decision-making, resilience, and performance under pressure. With real examples from police interviews and research collaborations in Iceland and Norway, this episode bridges theory and practice in a way that's accessible, evidence-based, and immediately useful—whether you're in uniform, in sport, or simply facing stress in daily life. 🎧 Topics covered: What mental training is (and isn’t) How police and athletes alike can benefit from it The PETTLEP model of visualisation Breathing techniques used by Navy SEALs and police patrol units The power of inner dialogue in stressful situations 🧠 Practical, grounded, and relevant for anyone who wants to perform when it matters. —Follow Daniel on Instagram: @mentaltrenerosenSupport the podcast: buymeacoffee.com/danielosen

    Episode 16 - The War Within: Takling Self-Criticism

    Why are we often kinder to others than we are to ourselves? In this powerful episode of Mind Set Go, mental performance coach Daniel Osen explores the psychology of self-criticism—where it comes from, how it sabotages us, and what we can do to change the internal narrative. From childhood comparisons and capitalism’s hustle culture to perfectionism and emotional self-sabotage, this episode digs deep into why we judge ourselves so harshly—and how to stop. Featuring insights inspired by Jordan Peterson, real-world metaphors (including babies on doorsteps and walking toddlers), and the latest research on perfectionism, self-compassion, and mental health. 🧠 Learn why accountability is not the same as blame💡 Discover the difference between healthy standards and psychological drowning🤝 Try practical tools like self-hugs, “dates with yourself,” and redefining your inner critic Supported by research from Smith et al. (2020), Gilbert & Irons (2005), and psychedelic therapy studies from Griffiths et al. (2016), this episode gives you both the science and the soul behind self-acceptance. 🔗 Support the podcast: buymeacoffee.com/danielosen📬 Connect with Daniel on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/danielosen📸 Follow on Instagram: @mentaltrenerosen Be kinder to your mind.

    Episode 15 - Follow Your Voice

    🎧 The Inner Voice: Competing for Yourself, Not for Them Why do so many athletes burn out, break down, or lose their love for the game? Often, it’s not the training. It’s not even the pressure. It’s the fact that they stopped listening to their own voice.In this episode, I explore why following your inner voice isn’t some fluffy self-help advice, but a performance imperative. We talk about identity, autonomy, parental pressure, and what it actually means to take ownership of your career. 🎓 Hosted by Daniel Osen – mental coach, PhD student in performance psychology.🔗 Connect: LinkedIn | BuyMeACoffee | Instagram
