Description

Athletes train their body, but very few ever train their mind.

In this episode, Nick sits down with former MLB player and mindset coach Chad Hermansen to break down the mental side of performance, from confidence to focus to handling pressure. Chad shares what he learned from his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates and how athletes can use the self-coaching model to master their emotions, stop overthinking, and actually perform free.


What You’ll Learn

  • How to build confidence that lasts longer than your last at-bat
  • The self-coaching model Chad uses with MLB & college athletes
  • Why overthinking kills performance (and how to stop)
  • How parents can help without adding pressure
  • The truth about training your mind like your body

What’s one mental skill you’re working to build this season?
