In this week's episode, I interviewed Ellie Cooper, a former Florida State University (FSU) softball player and the Director of Player Performance for FSU's softball team. She shared her experiences from struggling college freshman to mental performance coach and how the mental game transformed her athletic career and coaching philosophy.
Episode Highlights:

• Creates an environment where athletes can express their authentic selves
• Focuses on teaching how to respond to adversity
• Advocates for intentionally developing environments where it's safe to fail
• Emphasizes that what we consume "waters our mindset"
