 Episode 91: Tamy Matheny on Creating Confident Athletes During a Crisis | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:32:08

Your student-athletes need to be built into confident, mentally healthy young people - during regular times, or times of crisis. In this episode of the College Recruiting Weekly podcast, Dan Tudor talks one-on-one with Tami Matheny, founder of Refuse 2 Lose Coaching. Coach Matheny believes that while it’s important to work on the physical and technical aspects of sport, the mental side is just as important...mental skills are often the differentiating factor for the most successful athletes. Tami understands that talent cannot always overcome a lack of confidence or mental toughness, but a high level of confidence and mental toughness can often overcome a lack of talent. She enjoys interacting and working hands on with coaches, athletes, and teams to make a difference. So what should coaches be doing during a crisis like COVID-19, and after? Listen and find out.
