In this episode, we welcome Dr. Amy Peters, a clinical psychologist AND a tremendous basketball coach. She was Aseem's assistant coach at Worcester Academy, and is now the Associate Head Coach at BB&N in Cambridge, MA. We dive deep into the realm of psychology, identity, and how we as adults can help our players see past the perfection myth. All that and more on this episode of ECC!
