Kris Goodman is a mental performance coach in the Tampa Bay Rays organization. Goodman was a stand out player at The University of Iowa where I had the privilege of working with him as the team's mental performance consultant. “Goody” would go on to be selected by the Miami Marlins in the 2015 MLB draft.
After his professional career, he went on to receive his masters in applied sport psychology at Minnesota State, Mankato. In this podcast, “Goody” shares how he has parlayed his mental performance experiences as a player into his passion and now his profession.
In this podcast “Goody” and I discuss:
