Merry Christmas!! Today on the Power Through the 4th Whistle podcast, we are doing some mental reps and mental sets. That's right, mindset training. A special Christmas episode that you can listen to on any game day, on your way to practice, anytime you need a little boost of confidence! SAVE this episode. It's a gift! I'm sharing two of my favorite podcasts and giving you the gift of Niyi Sobo -- subscribe to both of his podcasts, Get Ya Mind Right and the Sports Motivation Podcast. He is a former NFL running back and now motivates athletes and entrepreneurs around the world with practical advice. I'm sharing my favorite track from GYMR, "I can do it", episode 213 (this track is explicit, maybe you don't want to listen with kids in the car). He believes in the power of mental reps, you need to repeat what you want to be true over and over again. Whatever your goals are, no matter your age, it's possible. You CAN do it!   We love roller derby and talking about roller derby! Talk to us!   Follow our facebook page at: www.facebook.com/powerthru4thwhistle.

Why do I talk about Harry Potter in this episode?!??! You'll have to listen to find out. ;-) Continuing from our last episode of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, this episode focuses on asking for help. Why do we struggle with this in general? Is it a badge of honor to do it all on our own? Is admitting we aren't perfect or have it all figured out so bad? Let's talk about how asking for help can make you a better skater, teammate, league member, and human being and all the positive benefits. We love roller derby and talking about roller derby!
