#138 Sport Psychology Can Improve Your Life | Dr. Jonathan Fader

Even if you’re not an athlete, sport psychology can positively change your life.

Years ago, when I came upon a textbook on sport psychology, my first thought was “Hey, this could be used in every area of life.”

The fact is, living has an abundance overlapping principles with sports and achieving your dreams—inside or outside sports.

As you might imagine, when I was introduced to Dr. Jonathan Fader (https://jonathanfader.com/), a clinical psychologist who specializes in sport psychology, I was over the moon excited to interview him. Most people call him Fader, and he works with entire teams and players in Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, as well as with the heroes in the Fire Department of New York, Rockstars and actors, and people of all walks of life, including heavy hitters in business.  

And the principles of sport psychology inform his work with all of them.

He is also the author of a book I absolutely adored, called Life as Sport that I highly recommend, and he co-authored a book on motivational interviewing with former guest, Dr. Stephen Rollnick, also amazing and highly-recommended called Coaching Athletes to Be Their Best.

So, listen in as Fader and I converse, and he unpacks how sport psychology can improve your life.
