We train our athletes' bodies religiously—but what about their minds? In this episode, I sit down with Shenna Jean [@shennajean [https://www.instagram.com/shennajean/]], founder of Make One Day Happen, to explore why the mental training gap in athletics is costing our athletes performance, confidence, and long-term well-being. Shenna brings sound visualization, breathwork, and nervous system regulation to everyone from Division I teams to pro athletes to corporate leadership groups—and she's pulling back the curtain on what actually works. Here's the reality: 90% of Olympians use visualization as a core part of their success, but the rest of the athletic world? They're being told to "just go visualize" without any real training on how to do it. It's like telling someone to get stronger without giving them a program or a barbell. In this conversation, we cover: * Thought Defense strategies - Zone defense (gratitude & affirmations) vs Man-to-Man defense (anti-thoughts for specific limiting beliefs) * Why we're over-meditated and under-visualized - The difference between mindful awareness and conscious creation * The 90-second emotion rule - How to separate body sensations from the mental narratives we attach to them * Shame vs Guilt in coaching - Why leading with shame keeps athletes in fight-flight-freeze instead of flow state This episode is for coaches who want to: * Give their athletes mental training tools that actually work * Understand how to regulate their own nervous system so they can lead with composure * Help athletes build intrinsic motivation instead of performing out of fear * Create team cohesion faster in the age of transfer portal and NIL *NEW* Education - Captains & Coaches course, "Why They're Not Listening - Coaching Today's Athlete": http://listen.captainsandcoaches.com [http://listen.captainsandcoaches.com/] Training - Old Bull Program - 7 Day Free Trial - https://bit.ly/old-bull-train
