On this episode we take a deep dive into our “mindset”. As an athlete we’ve been taught since day 1 to be “mentally strong”, to push certain things within us aside in order to play our best every day. But how does having this “tough mentally” affect your mindset day to day when you’re done playing? We are giving tips of getting out of low mental moments and sharing our experiences as a player and post athlete on how we’ve been navigating our mindset. We hope you enjoy!
