022: Training Your Mental Fitness - Bethany Shadburne Interview
Today on the Limitless Athlete Podcast, you’ll be listening to a conversation I had with CrossFit Games athlete, Bethany Shadburne. Bethany’s vulnerability in this podcast was inspiring to see as she walked us through what it’s really like to be an elite level athlete, and the mindset struggles which go along with that.
A large part of the conversation is focused on how Bethany has overcome various mindset challenges using mindset training including journaling and creating a supportive community.
Our main topic is a discussion around the mismatch of physical and mindset fitness and how that stops you from accessing your full potential, can lead to overtraining, a lack of trust, and being overrun by fear-dominated scripts.
Alongside this we discuss...
- How people pleasing can destroy a coaching relationship
- The value of friends who speak the truth
- Generating confidence
- The details of Bethany’s mindset training
- How the fear of getting fat and not being good enough push Bethany towards doing too much and therefore getting injured
