#68 - Built Through Movement Mini Series (Your Identity and Mindset are Directly Linked To Your Performance and Results)
from The Athlete Mom Project | Pregnancy Workouts, Postpartum Exercises, Meal Plans, Diastasis Recti, Back Pain, and Mindset Tips · host Chandler Sommerfeldt | Strength and Conditioning Coach, Postpartum and Precision Nutrition Certified and Active Life Professional Candidate
Welcome back to the Built Through Movement series inside The Athlete Mom Project podcast. In this episode we shift the conversation from biomechanics and training principles to something just as important for long-term progress: Identity. Because the way you see yourself directly influences the way you train, the habits you build, and the results you experience. If you’ve ever struggled with: • staying consistent with workouts • getting back into fitness after pregnancy or a break • feeling like you start strong but eventually fall off • feeling disconnected from your athletic identity after becoming a mom this episode will help you understand why. Inside this episode we break down the connection between identity and performance. We talk about: • Why identity shapes behavior more than motivation • How self-perception influences consistency in training • Why many women lose their athletic identity after major life transitions • How shifting identity helps rebuild sustainable fitness habits • The difference between chasing outcomes and becoming the person capable of achieving them Many people try to change their results by forcing more discipline. But real change often happens when you shift how you see yourself. When your identity aligns with the behaviors you want to practice, consistency becomes much easier. Because the goal of training isn’t just to reach a number on the scale or lift a certain weight. The goal is to become the kind of person who moves, trains, and takes care of their body as part of who they are. Movement Assessment Application If this episode sparked some lightbulb moments for you, the next step isn’t guessing what exercises you should be doing. The next step is understanding your specific movement capacity. I offer a Movement Assessment Application where you can tell me about: • pain or injuries you’re experiencing • movement limitations • hormonal frustrations • pelvic floor symptoms • training goals • performance goals From there, I’ll help you determine whether you would benefit most from: • a personalized movement assessment • the Built Through Movement program • a different coaching approach based on your body and goals • or I will refer you to someone inside my world who would be better suited to support you. Together we assess, we don't guess. Movement Assessment Application: [Fill It Out Here] I personally review every application and will point you toward the best next step.
