I used to dream of playing D1 basketball. I would lay awake at night, imagining myself wearing the uniform, doing the drills, and playing at that level⊠but it was just out of reach. I was nowhere near where I needed to be, and I knew the problem was in my head.
Then my mom hired me a mental performance coach, and everything changed.
This episode goes through everything - from my origin story as an athlete, to how I built my business.
I get into:
How I went from underperforming in high school to playing professionally all over the worldLife-changing wise words from my mentors throughout my careerHow I found my first clients and built my first mental training programThe many challenges of being *early* in the field of mental trainingHow failures became building blocks to my successMore than anything, this episode is about how mental training changed my life and set me on a path that I couldnât be more proud of.

Critiquing vs. criticizing your performance is an essential part of getting better at ANYTHING. But as athletes, so many of us are really hard on ourselves, and with that comes a huge resistance to really looking at ourselves. For me, watching film was excruciating, I did it anyway, but I was relentlessly hard on myself. In today's episode, I'll share how you can create a system of critiquing without judgement. Without this system, I would never have played basketball at the level I played.-------------------------In The Psychology of Competition toolbox, youâll gain a scientific understanding of the psychology of competition, and be introduced to printable worksheets, on the go guided visualization, and exercises you can use to help you and your team get your mind right before, during, and after competition: https://www.positiveperformancetraining.com/PSYCHOLOGY-OF-COMPETITION

Are you carrying the weight of self-blame? I launch this Mental Monday with a quick mindset check-in.A key characteristic of athletes and high performers is HIGH STANDARDS. These are the same high standards that fuel late workouts, final sprints to the finish, and fierce competitiveness. But the dark side of high standards is often shame. Shame when you miss a shot, don't make the starting lineup, or let down the team.But what if it didn't have to be this way? What if you could have high standards without shame? Enjoy this Mental Monday! And don't forget to subscribe to be alerted when new episodes drop!--------------------------Do your athletes have a mistake ritual?

Episode Bio
Stacey Dales has an impressive sports resume, playing for the Canadian National Team in the Olympics and earning all-american status at Oklahoma. Collecting so many awards along the way, she was drafted 3rd into the WNBA, and went on to expand her repertoire as a reporter for ESPN. This all-around powerhouse is currently killing it as a reporter for NFL network.
In addition to her iconic career in sports, Stacey leads with humor and kindness (Iâll give her a pass for a little gametime trashtalk). Although we met as opponents, I have always looked up to Stacey. Sheâs had her eye on the prize since Iâve known her and bleeds integrity into everything she does, making her an inspiration to myself and so many others. As a prominent sports reporter, this woman is paving the way for future generations of female game players and reporters, and I truly canât think of a better role model.
From start to finish, Staceyâs interview is full of tough-love nuggets of wisdom, honest reflections, and refreshing humility. To have the opportunity to turn the tables on an expert interviewer and put her in the hotseat was an absolute pleasure.
You can follow Stacey on IG @staceydales and watch her kick butt as a reporter for the NFL Network!
Hereâs a glance at this episode:
[3:08] Lindsey introduces Stacey Dales, former Olympian and current sideline reporter for the NFL
[8:04] âI believe that champions are made when nobodyâs watchingâ and âconfidence comes from demonstrated abilityâ. Stacey shares what both of these phrases mean to her and how her mindset training as an athlete informs her career today.
[10:18] Stacey describes how sheâs learned to embrace fear and shares her process for preparing her mind for high pressure assignments.
[13:30] Whatâs an NFL reporterâs mental training routine like? From physical workouts, to memory hacks, and an intricate storytelling ritual, Stacey lets us in on her secrets to success.
[16:25] We all self-sabotage. Itâs human nature. But once you have awareness around all the ways you self-sabotage, you reclaim your power.
[18:30] You can both expect greatness and expect that failure will happen. Learning to live with human imperfections and high expectations isnât always easy, but learning to see your imperfections with grace can fuel greatness.
[22:25] Stacey makes a case for simplicity; i.e. creating guidelines and routines that reflect your natural strengths and support the success you want to see in your life.
[24:53] What are the most joyful moments of Staceyâs job? Her vulnerable answer includes the very real responsibility of telling other peopleâs stories and the pride she feels for being a woman in sports today.
[27:40] Lindsey and Stacey chat about kindness, putting in the work, and always delivering early. And wrap up their episode by discussing Staceyâs next steps in work and life and the importance of self-grace.

Last fall, I recorded an episode all about 5 things that bring me joy. It was an outlier of an episode, and one that I had to be convinced to record, but I got a great response. Many of you told me that you enjoyed learning more about my personal life and what goes on behind the scenes as a mom and business owner. Itâs been about a year since that episode, so I figured it was time for life update #2!
This episode is centered around 3 things Iâm into right now. As I chat about each one, some deeper themes come up, including:
How creating things with your hands can make you feel empowered and safeHow often the simplest way is the best way.How It can be hard to get back into something you were once great at - (and why the reward is worth the discomfort).If a life update isnât what youâre looking for, go ahead and skip this episode. But if you want to hear more about my life, press play and join me for a chat!

As social creatures, we want to stay with the pack and fit in with the people around us. It's an evolutionary quality, and something that has kept us (especially women) safe throughout history.

Despite goal setting becoming super mainstream over the last decade, most of what you hear about it just barely scratches the surface.
Sure, breaking down your goals, building vision boards, and learning to manifest is great, but what happens when you donât feel like getting out of bed? What happens on weeks when you lose the spark and motivation to achieve your goals? Is the payoff of your goals really worth what itâs going to take to get there?
When you rely on mainstream goal setting techniques you leave yourself vulnerable to all the real life shit that makes it hard for anyone, even the most disciplined people in the world, to make real, lasting change.
So in todayâs episode, weâre going to dig deep. Weâll talk about:
Planning for discomfort (before you feel it)Emotional goals - and why they motivate your subconsciousWhat it means to break down you goals into numbers (and why it matters)Negative visualization and the Worst Case Scenario exerciseThe #1 question you should ask yourself when you set a goal+ So much more.If you have a big goal, whether thatâs to start a business, make the Olympic team, or move out of the country, this episode breaks down 6 key questions that will give you the absolute best shot of taking your goal from a dream to a reality.
Listen to the full episode for context, and come back to these 6 questions whenever you need them.
8 KEY QUESTIONS FOR GOAL SETTING
Letâs say your goal is to get in shape, hereâs how you might answer these 8 questions.
#1. How will achieving this goal change your life? Iâll have more energy in the morning to play with my kids, Iâll feel strong and able to do the activities I love. It may help my mental health.
#2. What is the (literal and figurative) cost of my goal? The cost of gym memberships, a workout program, and healthier groceries. The social cost of not going out for food and drinks as often.
#3. What can I do to increase the likelihood of my success in this goal? Getting a trainer, planning ahead, getting friends on board, getting a babysitter, meal planning, joining a meal delivery service.
#4:What are some numbers behind the goal? Are they realistic? # of hours Iâll work out every week, $ of a membership/training, # of months to achieve my goal, # on a scale.
#5. What is the best case scenario and what is the worst case scenario? Will it be worth it either way? Best case is I hit my goal and I feel great! Worst is I try and donât hit my goal, but I get closer to it, and I make some healthy changes along the way.
#6. Who am I going to become in this process? I get to become the person who shows up for myself and works at what I want, I get to become someone who works hard even when I donât feel like it. I get to become someone who sets an example for my athletes and my kids.
#7. What will I need from others?Iâll need someone else to walk the dog so I can make a healthy breakfast, Iâll need someone else to make dinner so we donât order out as much. Iâll need someone to pick up the kids so I can go to the gym.
#8. Whatâs my plan when I get off course? When I get off course, Iâll journal about my goal and re-commit to it. Iâll reach out to my accountability buddy and schedule a workout.

One of my coaches used to have this thing he called "The 5 Minute Rule". I come back to this rule anytime I don't want to do something. For example, when I'm feeling sluggish and don't want to work out, when I'm uninspired and don't want to work, or when I feel overwhelmed about cleaning my house. And 9 times out of 10, it snaps me out of my slump and gets me moving.

Today I am diving into something called The Motivation Triad.
The motivation triad basically says that your brain wonât waste energy on something that it doesnât believe is going to work out.
Now, this manifested in my own life recently in a silly way, where I was struggling to figure out a new app and gave up, not realizing the solution was right in front of me. And I see it manifesting in the lives of my students as they build their businesses. Honestly, you can see the effects of The Motivation Triad everywhere and in your own life, once you understand what it is.
I highly recommend you listen to the full podcast, and remember this key takeaway: Before you decide to give up on something, whether itâs using a new app, or building a business, or working on any new skill, remind yourself to keep looking for a solution, even if one isnât obvious right away.
Because the second you stop looking for a solution, thatâs the moment you stop being curious. And when you stop being curious, itâs over. your creativity will shut down and youâll get stuck in your own blindspots.

What makes you feel STRONG?What makes you feel powerful, like you can tackle anything, like you can take on the world? Personally, for me, it's exercise. Specifically, it's pushing myself by lifting heavy weights. It not only makes me feel strong, it makes me feel sane. Today on the podcast I'm challenging you to think about the thing that makes you feel strong and to make time to do it in your life more often. Maybe for you it's exercise, or maybe, it's a deep conversation with your partner, eating healthy, intentional alone time, learning a new skill, doing something that scares you, or taking time for self-care. For more on this, check out today's Mental Monday on the pod! _________________________Want a guided visualization you can use anywhere from your phone?

When people ask me "What's the easiest way to get started with Mental Training?" The mistake ritual is one of the first tools I recommend. The Mistake Ritual is a lifeline for competitive athletes (and coaches). It's a way to center yourself in the middle of chaos - after a mistake, when the ref makes a bad call, when you're distracted by the weather or someone in the stands, etc. It's a very simple tool that can completely transform your mindset and your confidence in competition.In today's Mental Monday, I'm sharing a story about a time I used the Mistake Ritual (and it made a massive difference). I end the episode with a full breakdown about how this tool works, and why it is massively important (and how you can implement it)-------------------------Mistake Ritual Magic Workshop: This course is a 30 minute online video workshop that will prepare you with everything you need to teach your athletes how to bounce back from mistakes in competition: www.positiveperformancetraining.com/mistake-ritual

My interview earlier this year with Positive Psychologist, Chris DeSantis was such a goldmine that I immediately asked him to come present to our Insider Mastermind to teach them about positive psychology.
In our first episode together, Chris introduced positive psychology, but we really just scratched the surface. Iâm thrilled to say that this episode goes so much deeper and leaves you with so many actionable ways to better help your athletes. In this episode, Chris dives deep into his positive psychology philosophies. As the first person to get his advanced degree in Positive Psychology, he has a unique, valuable, even revolutionary perspective on just about everything related to mental training. Chris shares personal stories and examples of his coaching, and shows what itâs really like to take a client through negative visualization. He even shares the script he uses with athletes so that you can start using this tool right away in your own coaching practice. And since we were live on a coaching call with The Insider Mastermind, he answers loads of real questions from real mindset coaches. This episode is robust enough to listen to on itâs own, and is also a great follow up to our first interview together, so tune in and let me know on IG @lindseypositiveperform what you think of the episode!

[0:55] Chris starts the episode by talking about some of the positive psychology concepts (like âgrowth mindsetâ) that have gone mainstream, and how these interpretations fall short.
[3:30] Classical psychology asks, âWhatâs wrong here, and how do we fix it? Positive psychology asks âWhat is the situation, and where is the opportunity?â
[6:06] Why do people practice visualization? Chris explains the value of visualization, and how it helps the human brain prepare for high stakes situations.
[8:46] There are a lot of unwitting disciples of BF Skinner, The King of Behaviorism. Chris believes humans are more complex than these studies are able to measure. Chris talks about how behaviorism feeds oversimplified assumptions about visualization.
[13:58] If your goal is to NOT think about something, youâve set an impossible goal. Chris gives a âwhite bearâ analogy that proves his point.
[17:54] Chris describes whatâs happening in your brain during fight or flight, and how he helps to coach swimmers through the âworst case scenarioâ.
[20:15] Chris shares a specific example of working with an athlete and how he utilized negative visualization to help her move through her fears proactively.
[24:53] Sharing personal examples, Chris talks about a situation with a swimmer, one challenge of working with young athletes, and the importance of keeping everything in perspective.
[31:35] Bianca asks how Chris handles athletes who say âI donât knowâ in response to his questions. Chris talks about his background in sports media and what it taught him about getting information out of athletes (like Michael Phelps).
[34:59] Lindsey shares a different way she has used negative visualization as an athlete, and the way she teaches it today.
[39:39] Lindsey and Chris discuss the role of negative visualization in calming the nervous system. Chris answers some questions from the group, starting with one student that asks if negative visualizations should be followed up with positive visualizations.
[45:40] The Insider Mastermind students are challenged to come up with a metaphor to help athletes release feelings after going through a negative visualization.
[47:36] Chris chats about his understanding of the relationship between Michael Phelps and his coach. A student asks how Chris finishes a negative visualization session with an athlete. Chris explains his intuitive approach, and relates to feeling nervous about using negative visualization as a coach.
[51:39] Lindsey wraps up the episode with a quick chat about fear of failure, how to anticipate obstacles, and how anxiety can increase by ignoring the worst case scenario. Chris shares his contact information and plugs his podcast, The Swim Brief.
NEGATIVE VISUALIZATION - SCRIPT
Ask your athelte to sit down and prepare to visualize. Then move through the following questions:
What is the worst that could happen?How will I feel if that happens?What will happen next?Continue to ask âwhat will happen nextâ until you get to the existential question.
The purpose of this exercise is:
To be able to relay to the subconscious, âWeâve thought it all the way through, you donât need to bring it up anymoreâ.To validate yourself emotionally by telling yourself, âIt makes sense that Iâm worried about this.âFor you, as a coach, to understand the root of the issue to better coach them up.Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts

Mental Mondays are designed to give you one tip, tool, or technique that you can implement this week. Today, I dropped my daughter off at soccer camp. My daughter was nervous to go, which is normal for her on the first day of camp. This got me to thinking about FEAR, and when we should listen to it vs. when we should get over it. Tune into today's episode where I'll share the advice I gave to my daughter. Moreover, I'll talk about how the same principle can be applied to anything you're afraid of. -------------------------For more on Negative Visualization, check out our interview with Positive Psychologist (and Negative Visualization expert), Chris DeSantis: https://www.positiveperformancetraining.com/podcasts/mindset-coach-academy-podcast/episodes/2148589070 --------------------------------In The Psychology of Competition toolbox, youâll gain a scientific understanding of the psychology of competition, and be introduced to printable worksheets, on the go guided visualization, and exercises you can use to help you and your team get your mind right before, during, and after competition: https://www.positiveperformancetraining.com/PSYCHOLOGY-OF-COMPETITION
