  • Summary

  • Ever wondered how elite athletes like Simone Biles manage the tremendous pressure of competing on the world stage? Our guests, Dr. Pete Economou and Dr. Nikki Rubin, bring their expertise in sports psychology to shed light on this critical topic. They share eye-opening personal experiences with swimming and compare the cultural attitudes towards the sport on the East and West Coasts. Together, we dive into the mental health challenges faced by athletes, illustrating how sharing vulnerabilities can break stigmas and remind us that mental well-being is just as important as physical prowess.

    Winning isn't just about the medals—it's about the journey. In our conversation, we explore the profound concept of focusing on the process rather than the outcome. With insights about the balance between ambition and acceptance, we discuss how experiencing both victories and setbacks contributes to personal growth. The dialogue is enriched with motivational quotes and practical advice on building grit and staying present, offering you a fresh perspective on resilience and mindfulness in both sports and life. Tune in for an inspiring episode that celebrates the beauty of the journey and the importance of mental health.
