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
Nerves Need Movement, Not Silence S3. E2.
If you’ve ever watched your child or yourself or any young athlete get a stomach ache, feel nauseous, shaky, frozen, or overwhelmed before competition—I want you to hear this clearly:
1) nothing is wrong with them.
2) a nervous child does not equal poor performance.
In this show, learn the signs and varieties of how nervousness behaves. What a "safe adult" can say and do to help athletes. And learn real effective methods through simple and fun somatic actions to relieve nervousness and anxiety for athletes. These work.
Lisa also reads an inspiring excerpt of a story from "Focused and On Fire: The Athlete's Guide to Mental Training & Kicking Butt" by >> Lisa Mitzel. A great book for ages 10 and up - or parents can read to younger kids. Some teams have used this as their team book for a year.
