Mindset Coach Academy Podcast

I am thrilled to once again welcome everyone’s favorite co-host Courtney Thompson!

I LOVE sitting down and chatting with Courtney; she is a fountain of wisdom and has lived out everything I teach when it comes to Mental Training - on the BIGGEST NATIONAL stages. Courtney is a 2-time Olympic medalist with a professional resume that goes on for miles. She’s also an advocate for mental training, a natural teacher, and she credits mindset work for a lot of her success, on and off the court.

I am so excited to announce that Courtney has agreed to join me as a regular co-host on this podcast. That’s right, you’ll be seeing a lot more of her here in 2023!

Today, Courtney and I are asking the question: “How can we allow things to be SIMPLE?”

As high achievers, we take a lot of pride in working hard. For many of us, it’s our comfort zone; It makes us feel good to work hard. And, don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of pride to be had in working long hours, training hard, hustling. After all, as Courtney puts it, “If you’ve never been burnt out, or trained too hard, or crossed that line, are you actually pushing yourself?”

But oftentimes we take it too far.

The problem comes when we become so accustomed to working hard that we make things harder than they need to be.

In today’s episode, Courtney and I talk about the “dark side” of working hard.

We talk about:

From Courtney’s experience in setting up her new business to my new-and-improved approach to family laundry, this concept is so applicable to everyone in so many different parts of life. In this episode, both Courtney and I have real breakthroughs, and we’re confident that you will too.

Let’s dive in!

Today's message is one all high achievers need to hear: It's okay to be imperfect, it's okay to mess up, it's okay to see the opportunity for growth.

Many high achievers would rather bury their head in the sand than look their failures square in the eye.

Today, Lindsey talks about what it was like for her to watch tape as an athlete, and what she learned from making space for the cringe-y moments.

If you're a perfectionist, this one's for you!

Today, I am thrilled to welcome TWO (yes TWO) badass mindset coaches to join me on this very special episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast! 

Amy Oliphant is the founder of Transcend Mental training and a Positive Performance Certified Mindset Coach. Fun fact, Amy was actually in our very first MCA Certification course, and has been a Team Captain for us over the past 4 years. When she joined us, she had no intention of starting a business. Now, she’s getting paid to be a mindset coach and scaling her business, with plans to expand in 2023. In her words, “If you run towards that fear, the possibilities are endless”. 

Nikki Dieball does it all. As the Associate Head Volleyball Coach at Southern Nazarene University and the owner of RISE volleyball club, Nikki has set up her mindset coaching business to scale however and whenever she needs it to. Wearing so many different hats and being a mom to a 10 year old and 2 month old at the same time, growing her mindset coaching business on the side has allowed Nikki tremendous flexibility and peace-of-mind. 

If you are thinking about joining us for our Mindset Coach Academy Certification program in the spring, or simply want to know what it’s like to become a Mindset Coach, this episode is a must-listen. 

A huge thank you to Nikki and Amy for being my guests today and being so open about what it’s really like, on a day-to-day basis, to be a mindset coach. Juggling kids, adult responsibilities, and other jobs, these two are real, raw, and don’t hold anything back.

[1:00] Amy gives a quick intro about her business, Transcend Mental Training, and Nikki gives a quick intro about her job as an Assistant Volleyball coach at Southern Nazarene University and owner of RISE volleyball club.

[6:45] “Either decide it’s gonna be a hobby or jump in with both feet”. Amy talks about the importance of intentionally choosing your path as a mindset coach. 

[8:30] Nikki was fortunate enough to be introduced to mental training at a young age. She shares how her passion for mental training led her to finding Lindsey and joining The Mindset Coach Academy. .

She also shares some personal wins - getting her first corporate client, launching a group subscription program for hockey players (and eventually swimmers), and prepping for end-of-the-year presentations at highschools. 

[17:45] Athletes today are faced with unique challenges. Nikki is seeing a ton of confidence issues and overwhelm with schedules, mental health, pressure to perform, and learning to “win” without a scoreboard.

[20:27] The ripple effect of mindset coaching is REAL. In Nikki’s words, “It can’t help but bleed over into every aspect of their life [...] the classroom, relationships…”

[23:09] Both Amy and Nikki agree they used to “frankenstein” their training programs from scratch. Now, Amy’s created a choose-your-own-adventure “mental performance roadmap” and reminds us there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits all.

[39:44] Wrapping up this episode, Lindsey asks Nikki and Amy to share what they would say to someone who is thinking about joining The MCA Certification. From the incredible community, to the learning environment that challenges you and builds your confidence,  In Amy’s words, “I wouldn’t be where I am without it”.

If you're a coach, you probably coach others on and off the field; from students, to friends, to colleagues, and perhaps even strangers in the grocery store. You probably find yourself coaching others even when you're not thinking about it. 

But if you really want your advice to be heard and you really want to create a space for ownership and teachability, Lindsey encourages you to ask for permission FIRST. 

Why? Well, you'll have to listen to the episode to find out!

If you're a high performer, dreaming big and working towards the next level is second nature to you. But in today's Mental Monday episode, Lindsey asks the question, "How do you want more WITHOUT focusing on the 'lack' in your current life?"

In today's Mental Monday, Lindsey will help you find motivation AND contentment at the same time.
