Episode #28: Comfort to Risk of my Crisis to Opportunity podcast is the third of four in which I explore the importance of mindset in how you respond to a crisis.

“Mindset,” is an essential and little addressed contributor to athletic success and a mental area that has only come to light in my work with elite athletes during the past few years. This topic is also where professional and Olympic athletes offer wonderful examples in which they use different mindsets to perform at their highest level consistently. When I talk about mindset, I don’t mean Carol Dweck’s notion of it as either growth or fixed (though I love her take on mindset). I mean what is going on in your mind in the one to three minutes before you begin a competition. What happens in your mind during that oh-so-important period sets the stage for whether or not you perform to the best of your ability.
