I never thought I was running a critical inner voice. I was just moving too fast to hear it.Then I went through Co-Active training. Hundreds of hours of coaches coaching coaches. You can't hide behind the theory when someone is always sitting across from you, paying attention. And somewhere in those sessions, I heard it. The saboteur. And everything changed.In this episode, I walk through what the saboteur actually is, where it comes from, and how it is quietly running your locker room right now. We cover the Judge, the nine accomplice saboteurs, and what neuroscience tells us about why you cannot be fully present and in judgment at the same time.We get into:What the saboteur is and why it feels like the truthThe Judge and the three directions it pointsThe nine accomplice saboteurs and the ones most common in sportHow you are authoring your athletes' inner voice every single dayThe Anson Dorrance approach to comparison and why transparency worksWhat this means for youth, elite, and professional athletesAnd the question that rarely gets asked in coaching rooms: how are you actually doing?
