The Athlete Mindset podcast presents a conversation with student-athlete, Albert Urias. In this episode, Lisa Bonta Sumii, LCSW, CSW and Albert Urias discuss “controlling your controllables”, the life of a wrestler in college, and mindset.

Conversation list:

• CSUB Wrestler, Bachelor’s Degree
• Mindset is crucial, and mental health is a huge component in sports and in life
• There’s still a stigma in talking about mental health
• Recommendations to shift your mindset – making conscious decisions to better oneself
• Practicing discipline is key to success – discipline can be defined as doing what you’re saying you’re going to do
• “Controlling your controllables” – let go of something you can’t control and focus on what you can!
• Set realistic goals
• Strive to be positive and uplifting to better your environment (colleagues, coworkers, etc.)
• A typical day of a collegiate athlete
• College athlete lifestyle requires a huge sacrifice, and how much you want it determines your success. How much you’re willing to sacrifice, how bad you want to be here, and why are you doing this are questions you need to ask yourself to achieve success

Short Bio from Albert Urias:

My name is Albert Urias, a student-athlete on the men’s wrestling team at CSUB. I am currently a redshirt Junior. This past season I placed 4th at the Pac-12 Championships. I also had the honor of being named Pac-12 Wrestler of the Week in February, along with being ranked as high as #31 in the country. My record was 25-14 on the year, and I am one of the team captains on the team. So far this season, I am 5-1 on the year.

Academically, I graduated this past spring with a 3.3 GPA and a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. I am currently in the teaching credential program with the intent of becoming a PE teacher. I have started teaching at a local high school in Bakersfield, while still training and competing.

Mindset is crucial to me, and mental health is a major component of my life.
