Healthy Minds with Devin Markle

Host Keith Woodward talks with Dr. Devin Markle, the clinical sport psychology coach at Quinnipiac University. As Dana White did with nutrition two episodes ago, Devin makes sure athletes have a clear mind and process all the ups and downs in a healthy way. Devin has the credentials to back it up: for three years she served as the co-director of mindset development at the Mamba Sports Academy (yes, affiliated with Kobe Bryant). She was responsible for training athletes of all ages and levels and implementing mental skills training with individuals. In addition, she helped design the NBA and NFL Pre-Draft Training Program while working with the Mamba Sports Academy. The players love Devin, and you will hear from Captain Zach Metsa and others about how vital Devin is to them. Roughly half the team talked to Dana before the National Championship game. It seems to have worked out okay! All episodes begin with Quinnipiac Student Matt Mungo’s call on the Quinnipiac Bobcat Sports Network of the National Championship goal.
