Today's episode is a game-changer as we navigate the landscape of mental performance with the assistance of Dr. Cassidy Preston. As a mental performance coach and the author of the Amazon bestseller "Mindset First," Cassidy illuminates the significance of shielding our minds from unnecessary distractions, particularly those stemming from social media. He equates harmful mental inputs to junk food, underlining the "input vs output" concept in a way that resonates and makes you rethink your mental diet.

Our conversation doesn't stop there; we probe into the crucial role a positive mindset plays in sports, especially for our young athletes. We share effective strategies to maintain focus, sideline distractions, and how to stay connected to the joy of the game - the 'why' you started playing. We delve into the profound influence parents can have in cultivating a healthy "mental game" in their children. Dr. Preston's insights from his book provide practical tools for athletes to boost their mental performance. Get your notepads ready as this episode is packed with rich insights that promise to enhance your mental game and help you enjoy the journey, be it sports or life.
