132: Leveraging Athlete Brain to Live a High-Performing Lifestyle

“Athlete Brain” is a term I coined around 9 years ago that describes that inner-drive to do more, push harder. It’s a great trait to have. It’s better when we leverage it to work for us, not against us. Athlete brain is what drives us in sports and fitness, but it can be utilized and applied to any aspect of our lives. It most recently has be applicable to me as I’ve trained hard for BJJ Worlds, undergoing a weight cut and vigorous training schedule. But it also has applied to my business, mom life, and every aspect of my life where I want to be a high performer. As coaches, athletes need people who get them see them - especially those who experience athlete brain during seasons of pregnancy and postpartum. The waitlist is open!
