Live Your Personal Best  -  Workout Motivation and Routine Building For Current and Former Athletes

38. Taking What You Learned in Sports into Life


Listen Later

Mistakes are a part of your success journey. Did you know that you’re more likely to succeed when you make mistakes than when you don’t? You need to change your mindset and see failure as part of your success process by mastering your mental game either as an athlete or in any other profession you’re in. 

 

In this episode of Girls Gone Healthy, I have Bryn, a mental skills coach who’s been helping high school, college, and professional athletes to master their mental game over the last several years. She’s a former divisional athlete in the tracking field and high school basketball player who has first-hand experience in knowing what being on and off your mental game can cost you.   

 

Listen in to learn how you can use whatever mindset got you to where you are now to take you to the next level of your journey. 

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • How athletes become leaders by taking what they learn in the game and apply it to the real world. 
  • How to calm your emotions and master your mental game.  
  • Defining your character by learning why a mistake happened and working towards changing it instead of seeing yourself as a failure. 
  • The power of failing and learning from mistakes before succeeding. 
  • Understanding that whatever got you to this point is going to help you get to the next level. 
    • Turning what you love into a career and not necessarily doing what you don’t like to get what you want.
