This week on the show I am joined by Brenley Shapiro, who is a Toronto-based Sport Psychology & Performance Consultant, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, and Certified Sports Vision Trainer. She has become the first female Mental Performance Coach for the Arizona Coyotes in the NHL, as well as the OHL for the Peterborough Petes.

More recently, she has signed on as the Mental Performance Coach for both the Mens and Women’s Chinese National hockey teams for the 2022 Beijing Olympics

In this conversation you will hear:

04:00 Finding heartwork by helping people be and become the best version of themselves

05:30 testimonies from NHL and Disney and what connects sport and business world

07:00 FEAR is the biggest barrier to success

08:10 the most common fear of elite level athletes

09:30 expectation - is it a gift or a curse?

12:00 underlying mindset drives behaviour

14:45 why talent is overrated

17:30 why the NHL sees so many draft busts

19:30 cultivating an environment for growth and a love of learning - a different form of leadership

22:50 FUN - it’s sticky

24:40 big WHY

26:30 #1 tip from Brenley’s book FEARLESS - trust yourself you’ll figure it out

30:45 get better not bitter

33:45 we grow in the moments of struggle, if we choose to use it

34:20 don’t get stuck in the suck - find the opportunity

I hope this inspires you to be better in some way. Please do share this with someone you’d like to inspire too.

Always love

Ryan
