From Concepts to Concrete Practices
Twice a month, I’ll share an interview or solocast focused on the nuts and bolts of mental training. The conversations you’ll find here are all about connecting concepts to concrete practices so you can be your best when it matters most.
Each episode includes a couple of skills, drills, or experiments you can play with to level up your mental skills and test your mindset. With each episode, I hope you continue to grow, improve, and level up the game between your ears!
