Episode 4 : How To Manage Anxiety As An Athlete With PWBA Superstar Heather Sterner!

On this edition of Reset And Rise To The Unbreakable With Amanda Moore, we welcome PWBA Superstar Heather Sterner to the show! Heather is not only a Professional Bowler, she is also a Pain Free Performance Specialist, a Precision Nutrition Coach and so much more!Here is a snippet of her story in her own words :"In 2022 I lost my best friend, my dad, to bladder cancer and while anxiety and depression is common while grieving, I had no idea the levels of anxiety that had been appearing in my life before, and after. I continued to bowl that spring and competed on the PWBA tour, only to reach what felt like the lowest points of my career. When I would compete I would experience levels of anxiety and panic that I had never experienced before. I thought my poor performance was to blame and started working harder on my mental game. One day while practicing after an event, I began to experience chest pains that wouldn't go away. After a visit to the hospital in Cleveland and numerous tests, everything came back normal and they suggested I was experiencing a panic attack. THAT is when I finally got help and learned about my anxiety and how to truly manage it. I have since been a huge advocate of mental health in athletes because I think high achievers and athletes especially, often don't ask for help because they feel it is something that they can control on their own."Join our Private Facebook Group!Follow Amanda on Instagram :@BackupBowler83Follow the show on Instagram and Tik Tok :@ResetandRisePodcast⁩Send us an email with your questions and comments :[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reset-and-rise-to-the-unbreakable--6690676/support.
