    The Sport Psychology Lessons We Wish We Knew as Teenagers

    In this episode we reflect on the sport psychology lessons we wish we had known as younger athletes. Drawing from our experiences as certified mental performance consultants, and athletes we explore the concept of the Zone of Optimal Functioning and how understanding your unique mental state can unlock better performance. We also dive deep into the power of self-talk. How our internal dialogue can shape confidence, focus, and resilience. Our young selves didn’t realize how much our thoughts were influencing our performance. Join us as we break down how negative self-talk can quietly limit potential, how instructional self-talk can sharpen execution under pressure, and how learning to speak to yourself with intention can change the way you compete.
