Lisa Mitzel is rethinking high performance and young athletes. With an urgency for young athletes to train and compete with autonomy, mental health and wellness, she advocates for the athlete's voice, more education, and moving the sports culture forward. Conditioned to Win is a hybrid podcast with interviews and monologues. Lisa's work is rooted in mindfulness, compassion, sport psychology, and child development. With a successful career competing and coaching at the club and D1 college levels, Lisa believes you gotta dig deep, ask hard questions, and fight for mental health & wellness for every child.
