[Football & Baseball] Sport Psych of Red Sox & Patriots Dr. Jenkins: “The Power Of Play Builds Winners”

New England Patriots and Red Sox Sports Psychologist Dr. Jonathan Jenkins joins to break down the foundational concept most athletes forget... The Power Of Play.Being two sports therapists, we unpack how play directly impacts confidence, pressure, focus, failure, and long-term performance, and why losing it is often what leads athletes to tighten up, overthink, or burn out. Then we dive into the strategies to build for the individual, the team, and for families.The Power of Play is the first chapter Dr Jenkins' new book Mentality Wins who he wrote with his co author Dr Kim O'Brien a Sports Social Worker. Using both research and real-world experience, we break down specific mental strategies athletes can use to reintroduce play into training and competition, how teams can create environments that allow play to thrive, and how families can support it without adding pressure.If you’re an athlete, coach, or parent looking to unlock more consistency, confidence, and joy in performance, this episode reframes what “serious training” actually looks like at the highest level.Instagram: AllmentalsportsIndividual Therapy: allmentaltherapyforathletes.comTeam/Coach Workshops: allmentalsportsperformance.comDisclaimer: For educational and informational purposes only.
