In episode 8, we explore the writing process, specifically how to approach a chapter versus a book, and how to ensure a collaborative book flows smoothly.

It’s okay if you don’t have it all figured out when you start. Sometimes you just have to go! We also delve into the realm of mindset vs athletic coach. Both are invaluable in an athletic journey. It’s an exciting time in the sports world as they are studying how much your mindset matters in sports.
