Dr. Nicole Gabana on Cultivating the Good and Seeing the Whole Athlete

About This Episode

For today’s episode I got to sit down with Dr. Nicole Gabana (@DrNicoleGabana ). Nicole is a licensed psychologist and certified mental performance consultant who specializes in helping athletes and individuals maximize their mental game in performance and life.  

She currently works in private practice, specializing in a holistic approach to performance, with an emphasis on seeing athletes as whole people. Prior to that, Nicole was the Director of Sport Psychology for UMass Athletics and she’s also served as an assistant professor at Florida State. While there, she dug deep, researching the impact of gratitude on athlete well-being and performance.  

As you’ll hear from today’s show, she has a passion for knocking down the barriers between the athlete and human being, and shared a ton of actionable tools with me - specifically focusing on how to build a consistent habit of gratitude in your life. This was a ton of fun to record! I hope you enjoy...
