On this week's episode of The Pregame, Kat and Nikki are joined by Lauren Johnson who is a Mental Conditioning Coach for the New York Yankees. Often times, mental coaching is overlooked in the world of sports but this episode dives into why it is so vital to athletes. Lauren discusses certain tactics she uses with her players that can help any one in any field, her journey to becoming a mental conditioning coach, why it is so important to become helpful when you feel helpless, how to focus on what you can control instead of dwelling on what you can't, and the importance of having a routine and process that works for YOU. Lauren is so good at what she does and we are so lucky she could share some of her knowledge with us in this jam packed hour long episode. Grab out your notepad and press play, Pregamers!
