Today's episode features a powerful conversation with two standout leaders in sport and performance—Melissa Hager and Brock Thompson.

Melissa is one of the only women in Minnesota coaching boys high school basketball and brings a wealth of insight on leadership, resilience, and building trust with athletes. Brock is the Head Women's Soccer Coach at South Dakota State University and a seasoned leader with over 25 years in college athletics. Both are certified Mentally Strong Coaches and bring real-world perspective on what it takes to develop confident athletes and teams.

Together, we discuss:

• Why confidence is the most fragile and most essential performance skill

• How to help athletes recover after a setback or tough feedback

• The different ways confidence shows up in male and female athletes

• What mentally strong coaching really looks like—and how to model it

• Why relationships are foundational to performance and growth

We'll also share a sneak peek into our upcoming free webinar on June 10—Building Confidence for Athletes and Coaches—and the exciting launch of the Mentally Strong Academy for Athletic Coaches, starting June 19.
