The Mental Training Lab
From Concepts to Concrete Practices
Each Wednesday, I share a new interview with a performer, coach, or performance psychology professional. The conversations you’ll find here are all about connecting concepts to concrete practices.
Each episode includes a couple of skills, drills, or experiments you can play with to level up your mental skills and test your mindset. With each episode, I hope you continue to grow, improve, and level up the game between your ears.
Interested in being a guest on the show? Do you know someone who’d be a great interview?
