    In this episode of JAMODI, Coach Matt Sayman sits down with mental performance coach and licensed therapist Cortnee White, founder of The Athlete Mind, for a powerful conversation on confidence, anxiety, leadership, culture, and what today’s athletes truly need from coaches.

They discuss:🏀 Why athletes mirror the emotional state of coaches🧠 The real impact of anxiety in today’s athletes💪 Why confidence shouldn’t be the goal👥 Building stronger coach-athlete relationships📱 How social media has changed youth sports🔥 Helping athletes perform under pressure🎯 Creating clarity, communication, and psychological safety👨‍👩‍👧 Navigating parent pressure in youth sports📈 How coaches can motivate without controlling One of the biggest takeaways? Athletes don’t always need more confidence — they need the ability to move forward even when confidence isn’t there. Whether you coach basketball, lead a team, parent an athlete, or simply care about leadership and performance, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom and perspective.
