Today, I sit down with Dr. Larry Widman, Psychiatrist and High-Performance Mindset Coach, to unpack how trust, vulnerability, and role acceptance transform talented rosters into resilient teams. We also draw a clear line between mental health and mental performance.
Episode Highlights:
• Why trust is the cornerstone under pressure
• Mental health versus mental performance explained
• What coaches can notice and when to refer
• Reducing stigma through athlete stories
• Listen more, solve less as a coaching habit
