We simplify our sports psychology framework into the following key pieces. All content on this podcast will center around your sport and how you can integrate our curriculum into your daily life to see immediate results.
Coach Jack, the author of this podcast, holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. He spends much of his time developing this curriculum, as it reflects how he trains himself. This involves extensive reading and learning from experts in the field. His studies include Eastern philosophical meditations and mental training tools, paired with the wisdom of ancient philosophy. He then validates these insights through scientifically supported evidence and Western psychology practices.
Coach Jack’s mission is to synthesize this invaluable knowledge into a modern, accessible format for busy people to implement and see remarkable transformations in their lives.
“Others have certainly attempted what I am aiming for. However, this focus on youth and sports is unique. I firmly believe there is a better way to educate and provide youth and parents with a stronger foundation for finding their own answers. It’s not about projecting my beliefs onto you. I don’t claim to have all the answers; in fact, I believe I know very little. However, I have a deep understanding of various tools that have been used for thousands of years to reduce suffering, build compassion, and enhance performance across all areas of life effortlessly. My curriculum is based on a holistic approach, showing you what has worked throughout human history in training the mind. This isn’t a curriculum claiming to have all the answers; it’s about helping you find YOUR answers.”
