Episode notes

Here are a few interesting questions to ask yourself…

How do the stories you were told during childhood impact you as an adult?
How do “unconfident” athletes shift their mindset to unlock their true potential?
And how can activities like journaling or simply being still help you gain clarity in your life?

Well if any of these sound of interest to you, you’re going to love today’s episode with Courtney Delks!

Courtney is a former Indiana Miss Basketball and Indiana Gatorade Player of the Year. And after her high school career, she went on to star at Purdue for 4 years.

Since 2015, Courtney and her husband Jordan own Compete Training Academy, where they help athletes take their game AND their mindset to the next level.

And in this episode we’re going to take a deep dive into mindset, and how you can improve either yours or that of the athletes you work with!

Quotable Quotes:

Clarity is the number one. If you don’t have clarity on who you want to be, where you’re going, you’re just existing

—–

Confidence is a skill that we can develop. It’s not something you’re born with.

—–

Journaling is like running the dishwasher. It’s like brushing your teeth. You gotta focus on getting out the bad and celebrating the good.

—–

You have to start saying no and taking things away to become who you want to be.

—–

We all have something we struggle with, and the stories we tell ourselves are so powerful.
