How Do You Actually Become Unfragile In Sports And Life? with Jacqueline Kelly

How Do You Actually Become Unfragile In Sports And Life? with Jacqueline Kelly

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with certified mental performance coach and strength and conditioning coach Jacqueline Kelly to unpack what it really means to be unfragile in real life. Not unbreakable, not perfect. Unfragile.

Jacqueline shares how the concept started with her adopted son from Haiti, grew into a family ritual, and evolved into a mindset framework for athletes and everyday high performers. They dig into why toughness often turns into a mask, how pressure can either level you up or shut you down, and why breathing and awareness are not fluffy wellness hacks but performance infrastructure.

If you are tired of generic “be resilient” advice and want practical tools to handle pressure, loss, injury, and self doubt without collapsing, this conversation gives you grounded, usable mental skills for sport, business, and life.

About the Guest:

Jacqueline Kelly is a certified mental performance coach and strength and conditioning coach who works with athletes from high school hopefuls to elite competitors. Through her Unfragile framework, she helps people build real world resilience, emotional awareness, and performance habits that translate under pressure. Her work blends mindset skills, nervous system regulation, and practical preparation so athletes and non athletes can keep moving forward even when life gets messy.

Key Takeaways:
  • Unfragile is not about being untouchable. It is about being human, feeling deeply, and still taking the next step.

  • The idea of Unfragile started as a mantra between Jacqueline and her adopted son from Haiti. A way to honor his early survival and ongoing courage through sport and family challenges.

  • Toughness can become a mask. Real mental strength means knowing when to drop the mask, ask for help, and lean on tools like journaling, meditation, and honest conversation.

  • “Be the tennis ball, not the egg.” A tennis ball gets hit and bounces back. An egg looks tough then shatters. The goal is flexibility, not armor.

  • Pressure breaks people when it is experienced as something external and uncontrollable. Reframing it as raising expectations of yourself brings the focus back to what you can control.

  • Core levers of becoming unfragile. awareness, radical self responsibility, preparation, consistent effort, and an open attitude that does not shut down when things get hard.

  • Diaphragmatic breathing that activates the vagus nerve helps shift from fight or flight into rest and digest, so you can think clearly in real time instead of spiraling.

  • Bringing your attention back to “where your feet are” keeps you out of regret and anxiety and anchors you in the present play, meeting, or moment.
