  What It Really Takes to Pitch at the Pro Level - Sam Stuhr - #43

  Sep 28, 202639 min

  Sam Stuhr is back on The Athlete’s Mindset and this time, a lot has changed. Sam was the very first guest on this podcast , and since that first conversation, he's gone from college baseball at the University of Portland to professional baseball in the Athletics organization. In this episode, we talk about what Sam has learned about pitching at the professional level, including execution, stuff vs. velocity, analytics, competing pitch-to-pitch, and what actually separates a good pitcher from a great one. Sam also opens up about his season-ending knee injury, undergoing surgery, and what it's been like spending the season rehabbing in Arizona. We talk about staying motivated through a long recovery, appreciating the little things, and how being forced away from baseball has changed his perspective. We also get into the mental side of pitching, handling nerves, simplifying your job on the mound, and why Sam believes the best approach is to control what you can and make your job as simple as possible.

  How to Be Content Where You Are While Still Chasing More - Jonas Salk - #42

  Sep 14, 202650 minS1

  In this episode of The Athlete’s Mindset , I’m joined by my former University of Portland teammate Jonas Salk . Jonas and I dive into the idea of the “insecure overachiever,” why athletes often focus more on their weaknesses than their strengths, and what it means to raise your ceiling instead of your floor. We also talk about separating performance from identity, managing the things you can control, showing up with energy and passion, and learning to be content but never satisfied. Jonas also shares some of the biggest mental lessons he learned throughout his college baseball career including how insecurity and fear of failure affected his performance and what ultimately helped him break out of that cycle. Many lessons in this one go way beyond sports. Momentous Supplements Code: athletesmindset ReLyte Hydration Code: athletesmindset

  The Mental Game of Football: How to Perform Under Pressure - Jeanene Gray - #41

  Aug 31, 202654 minS1

  What happens in your mind when the pressure hits? In this episode of The Athlete's Mindset , I'm joined by Jeanene Gray, M.S., M.Ed., a mental performance professional with more than 14 years of experience working with athletes in Power 4 football, including at the University of Oregon. Jeanene breaks down the mental side of performance and explains why athletes often get "mentally stuck" after mistakes, how negative thought patterns develop, and what athletes can actually do to reset and move forward. We dive into: Why athletes struggle to move on from mistakes The difference between positive self-talk and effective self-talk How pattern recognition affects performanceHow to regulate emotions when pressure is at its highest Why athletes need to practice mental skills just like physical skills How coaches can recreate pressure in practice Why growth isn't linear How athletes can build self-trust and confidence What Jeanene learned from working with athletes at the University of Oregon Her advice for athletes struggling with self-belief One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that mental performance isn't about simply "thinking positive" or trying to eliminate negative thoughts. It's about learning how to recognize what's happening in your mind and having the tools to respond effectively in real time. If you're an athlete, coach, or anyone interested in the mental side of performance, this episode is for you. ReLyte Hydration Code: athletesmindset Momentous Supplements Code: athletesmindset
