Earned Confidence, Fix it Frameworks and Buildng a High-Performance Mindset with Wil Fleming
Manage episode 525067093 series 2774623
If you’ve ever competed in strength sport, you know the platform can be a lonely place.
You’ve trained for weeks or months on end, and here you are – standing in front of a bunch of strangers, trying to move a weight you’ve never lifted before.
So what happens when things go wrong?
You miss your first lift?
Your legs feel heavy?
Or anxiety kicks in and your brain starts to spaz out?
Well luckily whether it’s on the platform, in sports, or just in life, today’s guest is going to help us out!
Wil Fleming is an Olympic weightlifting coach, author of Strong Mind, and the founder of 1Kilo, where he has helped athletes from youth beginners to Olympians unlock their potential through world-class training and mental performance strategies.
A former collegiate hammer thrower and Masters World Champion in weightlifting, Wil has coached multiple national champions and Olympians, including during the Paris 2024 Games.
And in this episode, we’re going to help you and/or your athletes take their mindset to the next level!
Quotable Quotes:
More lifts are made or missed in people’s heads than through their actual movements
Mental toughness is making a mistake and then having the wherewithal to come back
Confidence is earned through previous performances, not just by telling yourself you’re a winner
This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:
- Wil’s journey from collegiate thrower to Masters World Champion and elite-level Olympic weightlifting coach

- The most common issues that strength athletes deal with, and how to address them

- The role visualization should play in your training, and how to use it for maximal success
- Wil’s “Fix it Framework” – or what do do when things aren’t going your way!
- How identity and self-perception influence athletic success
- A discussion on different types of lifters (ie low motivation, struggles on game day, etc.) and how to manage them
- Arousal: Finding the sweet spot so you perform at your best
