The season may not have started yet, but the mental game already has. Today’s athletes are managing transfers, changing rosters, comparison, unclear roles and questions about where they stand.

In this week's Mindset Made Simple Tip, discover how emotional regulation, attention and resilience can help you acknowledge difficult feelings, return to the present and focus on what matters most. Whether you're grieving, competing, coaching or leading, learn a simple strategy to recover, reset and keep moving forward with purpose.

Mindset Made Simple Tip #273 Watch or listen HERE. Last week, during a session with one of my college athletes, we talked about the power of emotional control, not just for performance, but for perception . Her coach had made a tough call: she was kept out of the lineup.
