Athletic Mindset and AARMY

*Episode 7: Athletic Mindset and AARMY  Mia works through a MAJOR setback mid-experiment and pushes through. That’s basically the episode. We’re talking about the athletic mindset…aka THE stuff that sticks with you long after your last game. Izzy tells the story of her state championship penalty kicks, and we get CHILLS. We compare gymnastics vs soccer on visualization, superstitions, pressure, and trash talk before revealing the counting trick every athlete apparently does. Finally, Mia and Izzy discuss AARMY, the fitness studio where we met and found our current team, and how coaching hits as an adult. *Chapters 00:00 Intro (We Tried) 01:08 Do It Tired: A Pep Talk in the Lab 04:44 Visualization 07:06 Rivals, All-Arounders, and Loving the Spotlight 11:39 The Penalty Kick: From Viral Loss to State Champs 17:00 Athletic Mindset vs. NARPs 18:31 Trash Talk: Soccer vs. Gymnastics 26:04 AArmy: Finding a Team After Sport 35:37 A Surprise Unboxing 37:34 Coachability 39:40 The Silent Work: Training Through Pregnancy and Postpartum 41:45 Coming Soon: PCOS and CTE 43:37 Hank
