In this episode I have fellow Mindset and Performance Coach, Lorrine Headrick, with me to  share about her experience of being a college athlete, a coach for athletes, and a parent of athletes.

We talk about processing emotions, finding identity outside of being an athlete, and defining self worth.

My favorite part of talking with Lorrine was discussing her experience as a parent of athletes. Each of her children had very different experiences with playing sports and it was fun to see how Lorrine has supported each of them in their individual journey. There is a lot us parents can learn from Lorrine in this department. She’s so loving and shares tips for how we can be the most supportive parents to our athletes as we allow them to go through whatever athletic experience they’re meant to have.

It's all about learning to control the controllable things and have tools to handling the uncontrollable things.
