In this week's episode I have brought on my dear friend and fellow coach, Angie Brown, as we discuss the power of belief systems and the astounding transformation that can occur when these are challenged. 

We explore the significance of nurturing affirmative beliefs from a young age, emphasizing the power of curiosity, questioning, and critical thinking to shape identity and behavior. Drawing examples from gardening and sports, we demonstrate practical methods to break down limiting beliefs, whether in a coaching scenario or parenting.

We also unpack Cognitive Behavioral Theory – the intricate web connecting our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Rather than fixating on surface-level actions, we call for a deeper understanding of the feelings and thoughts that drive behaviors. Reflecting on the identities assigned to us by our coaches or parents, we delve into their influence on our beliefs and outcomes. We challenge the concept of a 'slump' in softball, emphasizing the power of belief shifts to enhance performance.
