In episode #7, Nick and Scott get to talk to Chloe Maleski, D1 runner & Mental Performance Coach. They begin their conversation with how she got into running and quickly transition to the stories that led her to become a mental performance coach.

Chloe was a collegiate distance runner at Duke University with an underwhelming career while there. Since graduating she continued to train, compete, and study all the aspects to figure out what happened. She did this through gaining her Masters in Clinical Psychology, graduating from Primal Health Coach Institute (to learn about nutrition), and becoming a certified personal trainer. All of these parts of her education helped bridge the gap between wellness and performance and moreover the importance of mind-body connection when performing at an elite level. She has since PR’d and had a better athletic career post-college after putting all of these puzzle pieces together. Now Chloe would love to help you GROW into the best athlete and person you can possibly be!
