About this episode
How much of performance is mental vs physical? Is that something you can even quantify? Probably not, but the two are clearly inextricably linked. Mental Performance Coach Shannon Mulcahy (@mulcahyperformance) joins the show this week to talk about the role your MIND plays in your performance!
- What do we mean when we talk about the mental side of performance?
- The toxic side of telling someone anything is possible if they want it enough
- "Mental strength" vs "mental toughness"
- Setting goals & including mental performance skills
- Self-talk & skill-building
- Performance anxiety
- and more!
