Conditioned to Win
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.
Conditioned to Win
How to Compete Well
Starting in 2026 - short episodes! Starting now, Lisa changed the format to 10-15 min shows so it's easier for listeners to get helpful information, easy conversations and support.
Lisa integrates wonder, humor and joy, because it's important to have fun. But for driven competitors, it's often deep and hard and full of emotions. So to prepare athletes for the training and challenges competing well, starts with yourself.
Lisa talks about the narrow goal of focusing on outer success vs the groundwork for high achievement, which is the inner process: being a kind person, feeling good inside, self-compassion and much more. She reads a short excerpt from the great book, "Sacred Hoops" by Phil Jackson. She discusses the crazy competitive story and film, "Marty Supreme," and Lisa takes you through a 1-minute exercise to do with your kids.
