Talent is highly overrated, like you can have all the national god given talent in the world, but it's only going to take you so far and at some point you're going to hit a wall, and if you don't have the rest of it behind you, it's all about the person right.
Imagine pushing past the limits of what you thought possible. That's exactly what Brenley Shapiro, the first female Mental Performance Coach for the Arizona Coyotes, is all about. In this episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', host Brady Leavold sits down with Shapiro to uncover her fascinating journey from a psychotherapist to a trailblazer in the world of sports psychology.
Shapiro’s philosophy revolves around embracing challenges and pushing boundaries, a mindset that has taken her to incredible heights, including working with the Chinese National hockey teams for the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Throughout their conversation, Shapiro emphasizes the often-overlooked importance of mental health in sports. She argues that talent is overrated if the mind isn't in the right place.
One of the most intriguing parts of the episode is when she talks about breaking through fear barriers, a common struggle for athletes at all levels. Shapiro’s unique approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy with sports vision training, helping athletes master their minds for peak performance. Her work with the Mind Gym and her thoughts on writing a book offer even more depth to her already impressive resume.
For anyone interested in the mental side of sports or looking for ways to overcome their own psychological hurdles, this episode is a must-listen. Brenley Shapiro’s insights are not just for athletes but for anyone striving to reach their full potential.
