Middleish: Episode 80 - Get Psyched for Performance!

We have a guest this week! Cody Sohn is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant who works as an Assistant Track and Field and Cross-Country coach at Boise State University. With such a unique range of experience (she's worked with the military community, athletes of all abilities and even some work on herself) we were fascinated with the tangible, relatable skills she has to offer. Cody holds a Master of Arts in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Denver. She is currently pursuing an EdD in Sport and Performance Psychology with an emphasis in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Western States. She lives in Boise, ID with her husband Trent and their dogs and cats. Cody loves trail running, hiking and camping out in the mountains. We hope you enjoy this conversation that takes a deeper look into the mental side of top performance (not just in sport). We often forget that the way we think and what we tell ourselves has a direct, real impact on our actions. Cody does a great job of highlighting various mental skills with stories from her own life and those with whom she's worked. Erin Green Racing and Nutrition in Boise, Idaho. After years of regimented training, she is rediscovering the joy of spontaneous movement, social runs and exploring unpaved bike routes. Check out her blog and videos at www.eringreenracing.com. Michael Gray is a personal trainer, nutritional coach, father of two and a sucker for a bag of gummy bears. See what he's up to at www.michaelgrayfitness.com. Let us know you like what you hear! Small donations from our listeners help to support Michael's gummy bear habit or go toward a new houseplant that will inevitably die under Erin's care. We appreciate all of our Middleish listeners!
