    Faith Meets Science: Discovering the Intersection of Sport Psychology and Scripture

    In Season 15 of Building Championship Mindsets, Dr. Amber Selking delves into the intersection of sport psychology and faith. This season aims to explore how principles of sport psych can be understood through a theological lens, particularly from a Christian perspective. Dr. Selking emphasizes the importance of neuroplasticity, a scientific concept explaining the brain's ability to change and adapt based on experiences and thoughts. She connects this to Romans 12:2, which encourages believers to renew their minds for transformation. By integrating scientific insights with scriptural teachings, Dr. Selking hopes to empower listeners to harness these principles for personal growth and development.    About Building Championship Mindsets Welcome to “Building Championship Mindsets. | the Podcast!” From the LockerRoom to the BoardRoom, our purpose is to help individuals, teams, and organizations understand and leverage the power of Mindset and Leadership to drive results and achieve sustainable performance excellence.  As a leader in the field of sport and performance psychology, Dr. Amber Selking has been fiercely devoted to optimizing human performance in people and systems throughout her entire career.
