    #059: Mental Coaching in Streetlifting – Unlocking Competitive Performance ft. Inori Serre

    In this episode, I’m joined by Inori Serre – a sports psychologist, mental coach, and athlete with personal experience in streetlifting, calisthenics, circus arts, and competitive swimming. Together, we explore the often-overlooked mental side of strength sports and how mental coaching can become a game-changer — especially when it comes to handling pressure, building confidence, and staying focused under the bar. Inori shares her structured approach to coaching, including real-world tools like the 3R method (Register – Release – Refocus), which she used successfully with high-level athletes in competition settings. We also discuss:→ The link between mental fatigue, fear, and physical performance→ Visualization, self-talk, and focus techniques that athletes can start using today→ Why mental skills training should at least begin 2–3 months before peak competition→ How she supports athletes through injury recovery, plateaus, and overthinking→ And how mental skills developed in training transfer far beyond the platform Whether you're just starting to compete or preparing for a big championship – this episode will give you tools, inspiration, and insight into how mental performance can shape your next PR.

    In this episode, I’m joined by Adam Ahlberk, Swedish calisthenics athlete and founder of Provity, to talk all things supplements — what works, what doesn’t, and what actually matters when it comes to performance in Streetlifting and Calisthenics.

Adam shares his Top 5 performance supplements, gives dosage recommendations, talks about timing, and breaks down common myths in the fitness industry.
