  • My favorite sport psychology podcast!

    As someone who works in the field, I’m picky about my sport psych podcasts—this one is my favorite!

    Wonderful guests, important topics, and a mix of BOTH research and practice makes it a win for me.

    Applicable to those in the field, trainees, and people interested in sport psych (and those aren’t easy groups to appeal to in one podcast). Highly encourage you to give it a listen.
