In this episode of Behind The Lineup, I sit down with Hadara Katarski — a coach, professor, and student-athlete wellness advocate with experience at both the Division I and Division III levels.

We dive into what it really means to coach the whole athlete: not just developing physical performance, but supporting mental health, mindset, and the daily habits that drive success on and off the field.

From building trust to promoting well-being and creating sustainable performance, Hadara shares practical insights for coaches, players, and parents alike.

Whether you’re a coach looking to better serve your team or an athlete working to balance the mental and physical grind, this conversation is packed with takeaways you can use right away.
