How to Quiet Your Mind When the Game Gets Loud with Natalie Ferenc
Welcome to Episode 42 - How to Quiet Your Mind When the Game Gets Loud 🗣️
Hosts Jeff Lerg and Chris Palmer welcome back our producer, Natalie Ferenc, a former Division 1 goaltender. In this episode, we primarily discuss ways to manage emotions to not only help on the ice, but in real life moments such as present moment awareness. Furthermore, Jeff Lerg emphasized that while technical skills are important, mental preparation and presence are crucial for advancing in sports.
Episode highlights:
-How the mind needs training just like any other muscle, drawing parallels between academic learning and sports-related mental development. We stress that focus, listening, and active participation are essential skills that require deliberate development.
- How consistent practice leads to habit formation.
- Words and/or phrases that Natalie and Jeff would tell themselves to find that "center" to reset and refocus in games and even in practice.
- Actionable mechanisms to help yourself not get engulfed in doubt, fear, or worry to help with consistent performance.
AND A LOT MORE!
