Life's Great Lie

from The Inspired Athlete · host Mike Brilla

Welcome to the Inspired Athlete Podcast! In this episode, I reflect on a powerful moment during the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships and a message from Ed Mylett in a conversation with Jay Shetty that completely reframed a tough setback for one of my wrestlers. After falling short of his goal of becoming an All-American—even while several guys he had beaten ended up on the podium—we talk about the critical choice athletes face after disappointment: adopting limiting beliefs or choosing a perspective that keeps possibility alive. I also explore how the brain constantly looks for evidence to confirm what we believe and why the idea of doing "one more"—one more rep, one more adjustment, one more effort—can change the trajectory of an athlete's career.   Be sure to check out The Inspired Athlete Mental Performance for some free resources, to sign up for our email list and to schedule a discovery call to see what the program can do for you.
