Welcome to The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I’m Lindsey Wilson, former pro athlete, high-performance mindset coach, and entrepreneur and here we’ll dive into everything mindset. I have lived all these mindset tools- as an athlete, a business owner, a mom, a human. And together, you and I will sit in the student chair and study mindset. We’ll work on our own mindset and even talk about how to build a mindset coaching business if that’s your thing. With experts in the field, athletes, coaches, and other high-performance individuals, we are going to nerd out on the mental side of the game. This podcast is all about being a student of mindset. We believe mindset work isn’t about fixing or changing, it’s becoming more of who you were always meant to be. Here we work on our mindset. The good stuff, the hard stuff, the stuff most people won’t do. We have officially changed our name from The Inner Game to The Mindset Coach Academy podcast because we are specifically looking to grow as coaches and students of mindset. We’ll interview top experts in the field and high-achieving individuals about how mindset has brought them success, as well as dive deep into mindset training. New episodes will drop every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, as well as short 5-minute episodes every Mental Monday. Our first two guests are badass female Olympians successful on the playing field and rocking it off the field as well. We’ll start off with former Olympic Volleyball Player Courtney Thompson.

I've been practicing this mindset shift with my kids when they lose their temper, when I'm driving down the freeway and someone cuts me off, at the grocery store when someone shoots me a look... you name it. And it shifts the way I see the world and interact with the world on a day to day basis.
Today, Im teaching it to you! Use today's mindset shift to keep your cool and stay focused on what matters most.

I used to dream of playing D1 basketball. I would lay awake at night, imagining myself wearing the uniform, doing the drills, and playing at that level… but it was just out of reach. I was nowhere near where I needed to be, and I knew the problem was in my head.
Then my mom hired me a mental performance coach, and everything changed.
This episode goes through everything - from my origin story as an athlete, to how I built my business.
I get into:
- How I went from underperforming in high school to playing professionally all over the world
- Life-changing wise words from my mentors throughout my career
- How I found my first clients and built my first mental training program
- The many challenges of being *early* in the field of mental training
- How failures became building blocks to my success
More than anything, this episode is about how mental training changed my life and set me on a path that I couldn’t be more proud of.

Critiquing vs. criticizing your performance is an essential part of getting better at ANYTHING.
But as athletes, so many of us are really hard on ourselves, and with that comes a huge resistance to really looking at ourselves. For me, watching film was excruciating, I did it anyway, but I was relentlessly hard on myself.
In today's episode, I'll share how you can create a system of critiquing without judgement. Without this system, I would never have played basketball at the level I played.

Are you carrying the weight of self-blame? I launch this Mental Monday with a quick mindset check-in.
A key characteristic of athletes and high performers is HIGH STANDARDS. These are the same high standards that fuel late workouts, final sprints to the finish, and fierce competitiveness. But the dark side of high standards is often shame. Shame when you miss a shot, don't make the starting lineup, or let down the team.
But what if it didn't have to be this way? What if you could have high standards without shame?
Enjoy this Mental Monday! And don't forget to subscribe to be alerted when new episodes drop!

Episode Bio
Stacey Dales has an impressive sports resume, playing for the Canadian National Team in the Olympics and earning all-american status at Oklahoma. Collecting so many awards along the way, she was drafted 3rd into the WNBA, and went on to expand her repertoire as a reporter for ESPN. This all-around powerhouse is currently killing it as a reporter for NFL network.
In addition to her iconic career in sports, Stacey leads with humor and kindness (I’ll give her a pass for a little gametime trashtalk). Although we met as opponents, I have always looked up to Stacey. She’s had her eye on the prize since I’ve known her and bleeds integrity into everything she does, making her an inspiration to myself and so many others. As a prominent sports reporter, this woman is paving the way for future generations of female game players and reporters, and I truly can’t think of a better role model.
From start to finish, Stacey’s interview is full of tough-love nuggets of wisdom, honest reflections, and refreshing humility. To have the opportunity to turn the tables on an expert interviewer and put her in the hotseat was an absolute pleasure.
You can follow Stacey on IG @staceydales and watch her kick butt as a reporter for the NFL Network!
Here’s a glance at this episode:
[3:08] Lindsey introduces Stacey Dales, former Olympian and current sideline reporter for the NFL
[8:04] “I believe that champions are made when nobody’s watching” and “confidence comes from demonstrated ability”. Stacey shares what both of these phrases mean to her and how her mindset training as an athlete informs her career today.
[10:18] Stacey describes how she’s learned to embrace fear and shares her process for preparing her mind for high pressure assignments.
[13:30] What’s an NFL reporter’s mental training routine like? From physical workouts, to memory hacks, and an intricate storytelling ritual, Stacey lets us in on her secrets to success.
[16:25] We all self-sabotage. It’s human nature. But once you have awareness around all the ways you self-sabotage, you reclaim your power.
[18:30] You can both expect greatness and expect that failure will happen. Learning to live with human imperfections and high expectations isn’t always easy, but learning to see your imperfections with grace can fuel greatness.
[22:25] Stacey makes a case for simplicity; i.e. creating guidelines and routines that reflect your natural strengths and support the success you want to see in your life.
[24:53] What are the most joyful moments of Stacey’s job? Her vulnerable answer includes the very real responsibility of telling other people’s stories and the pride she feels for being a woman in sports today.
[27:40] Lindsey and Stacey chat about kindness, putting in the work, and always delivering early. And wrap up their episode by discussing Stacey’s next steps in work and life and the importance of self-grace.

Despite what your badass, high-performance brain might want you to think, “effortless” is not a 4-letter word.

If you want to make a change in your life, this Mental Monday will help you approach it with a powerful, positive mindset.

Last fall, I recorded an episode all about 5 things that bring me joy. It was an outlier of an episode, and one that I had to be convinced to record, but I got a great response. Many of you told me that you enjoyed learning more about my personal life and what goes on behind the scenes as a mom and business owner. It’s been about a year since that episode, so I figured it was time for life update #2!
This episode is centered around 3 things I’m into right now. As I chat about each one, some deeper themes come up, including:
- How creating things with your hands can make you feel empowered and safe
- How often the simplest way is the best way.
- How It can be hard to get back into something you were once great at - (and why the reward is worth the discomfort).
If a life update isn’t what you’re looking for, go ahead and skip this episode. But if you want to hear more about my life, press play and join me for a chat!

As social creatures, we want to stay with the pack and fit in with the people around us. It's an evolutionary quality, and something that has kept us (especially women) safe throughout history.
But this has a ripple effect. In some ways, it's positive, and in other ways, this need for belonging could be holding you back.
This Mental Monday will challenge the way you think about the everyday choices you make.
