Let's Talk Mental Skills for Coaches, Parents, & Players With Guest David Franco, Mental Performance Coach - EP 350

This week Topher and Jeff talk with David Franco, Mental Performance Coach for the Texas Rangers, where he was part of their '23 World Series Championship. Franco played baseball at the D1 Level for Miami of Ohio University, and has since worked with baseball and hockey players on the mental skills side.

In this episode we talk about:

— How coaches can't help with the mental aspect during the game, so they need to prepare their players for when it matters most

— Encouraging players to make mistakes and try new things

— The importance of establishing your individual goals as a coach, sticking to them, and not letting outside pressure influence you

— “Being a palm tree” and making your routines work for you

AND SO MUCH MORE!
