In this episode, Derek is joined by Nicole Adach, a collegiate sports psychotherapist, to discuss how athletes can train their minds just as intentionally as their bodies. They dive into the power of self-talk, journaling, goal-setting, and the RAIN technique for emotional regulation. Nicole shares her personal experiences with running as a tool for self-reflection and how embracing challenges leads to greater resilience and success.
Key topics include:
✔️ Mindset & Performance – How mental skills shape athletic and personal success
✔️ The Power of Self-Talk – Shifting from an inner critic to an inner coach
✔️ Mindfulness & Growth – Tools to stay present, embrace setbacks, and build confidence
🎙 Tune in for insights on unlocking potential, learning from failure, and taking control of your fitness journey—both physically and mentally.
