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.

Today's message is one all high achievers need to hear: It's okay to be imperfect, it's okay to mess up, it's okay to see the opportunity for growth.
Many high achievers would rather bury their head in the sand than look their failures square in the eye.
Today, Lindsey talks about what it was like for her to watch tape as an athlete, and what she learned from making space for the cringe-y moments.
If you're a perfectionist, this one's for you!

Today, I am thrilled to welcome TWO (yes TWO) badass mindset coaches to join me on this very special episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast!
Amy Oliphant is the founder of Transcend Mental training and a Positive Performance Certified Mindset Coach. Fun fact, Amy was actually in our very first MCA Certification course, and has been a Team Captain for us over the past 4 years. When she joined us, she had no intention of starting a business. Now, she’s getting paid to be a mindset coach and scaling her business, with plans to expand in 2023. In her words, “If you run towards that fear, the possibilities are endless”.
Nikki Dieball does it all. As the Associate Head Volleyball Coach at Southern Nazarene University and the owner of RISE volleyball club, Nikki has set up her mindset coaching business to scale however and whenever she needs it to. Wearing so many different hats and being a mom to a 10 year old and 2 month old at the same time, growing her mindset coaching business on the side has allowed Nikki tremendous flexibility and peace-of-mind.
If you are thinking about joining us for our Mindset Coach Academy Certification program in the spring, or simply want to know what it’s like to become a Mindset Coach, this episode is a must-listen.
A huge thank you to Nikki and Amy for being my guests today and being so open about what it’s really like, on a day-to-day basis, to be a mindset coach. Juggling kids, adult responsibilities, and other jobs, these two are real, raw, and don’t hold anything back.

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[1:00] Amy gives a quick intro about her business, Transcend Mental Training, and Nikki gives a quick intro about her job as an Assistant Volleyball coach at Southern Nazarene University and owner of RISE volleyball club.
[6:45] “Either decide it’s gonna be a hobby or jump in with both feet”. Amy talks about the importance of intentionally choosing your path as a mindset coach.
[8:30] Nikki was fortunate enough to be introduced to mental training at a young age. She shares how her passion for mental training led her to finding Lindsey and joining The Mindset Coach Academy. .
[12:55] “I can make it as big as I want” Nikki talks about the peace of mind that comes with having a side hustle that can scale whenever she needs it to (while helping people).
[15:30] What’s a day-in-the-life of a Mindset Coach really look like? Amy talks about her own mindset routine. She also shares some personal wins - getting her first corporate client, launching a group subscription program for hockey players (and eventually swimmers), and prepping for end-of-the-year presentations at highschools.
[17:45] Athletes today are faced with unique challenges. Nikki is seeing a ton of confidence issues and overwhelm with schedules, mental health, pressure to perform, and learning to “win” without a scoreboard.
[20:27] The ripple effect of mindset coaching is REAL. In Nikki’s words, “It can’t help but bleed over into every aspect of their life [...] the classroom, relationships…”
[23:09] Both Amy and Nikki agree they used to “frankenstein” their training programs from scratch. Now, Amy’s created a choose-your-own-adventure “mental performance roadmap” and reminds us there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits all. Nikki’s created a structured-yet-unscripted program that’s tailored to each client.
[27:22] The Mistake Ritual is one tool that both Amy and Nikki use consistently. In Nikki’s words, “It can change things for them in an instant”. Amy believes most athletes have no idea what they’re thinking. She shares about the one tool she uses to help them get their inner thoughts to work FOR them.
[31:21] Amy and Nikki share their favorite metaphors for creating custom visualizations for clients. Then, they share what’s next for them and their businesses.
[34:33] Nikki talks about her new project that is tailor-made to help athletes navigate the recruitment experience; including dealing with rejection.
[36:15] How does a mindset coach grow their own mindset? Both Nikki and Amy talk about the importance of weaving mindset work into their daily routines. They both agree that lists, organization, and time management is key!
[39:44] Wrapping up this episode, Lindsey asks Nikki and Amy to share what they would say to someone who is thinking about joining The MCA Certification. From the incredible community, to the learning environment that challenges you and builds your confidence, In Amy’s words, “I wouldn’t be where I am without it”.

If you're a coach, you probably coach others on and off the field; from students, to friends, to colleagues, and perhaps even strangers in the grocery store. You probably find yourself coaching others even when you're not thinking about it.
But if you really want your advice to be heard and you really want to create a space for ownership and teachability, Lindsey encourages you to ask for permission FIRST.
Why? Well, you'll have to listen to the episode to find out!

What does it REALLY take to become a mindset coach?
I’ll let you in on a little secret… you don’t need to spend 60k+ getting your Sports Psychology PhD, become the most successful athlete on the planet, or learn how to run every part of a business.
You just need ONE thing (that not everyone has) and that is PASSION.
Let’s rewind 15 years or so… When I started out, Sports Psychology was a fringe term, and one that not a lot of people bought into. I had no idea how to do sales or marketing, how to build a website, or how reach my target audience. I didn’t even know if it was possible to help people AND make money. The one thing I knew is that SOMEONE out there needed to hear my message.
If you’re here today, there’s a chance you feel that same pull.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it takes to be a mindset coach; from investing in your education (in the ways that actually MATTER), to landing your first client, and setting up your business to make money. Better still, I’ll give you everything you need to start working with your first client TODAY..
If you have a pull to become a mindset coach, LISTEN TO IT. All you need is the “why”, the inner belief that will move you forward. You don’t need to know the “how”, I can teach you the “how”.
Because your athletes - the ones whose lives will change once they hear your message- THEY don’t need you to be perfect, they just need YOU..
Applications for The Mindset Coach Academy Certification open in February, 2023! If you want to become a mindset coach, don’t let this opportunity pass you by.

My badass guest today is PPT Certified Mindset Coach and founder of The Elite Competitor Program, Breanne Smedley!
When I first met Breanne in 2019, she had just taken out a new credit card to pay for the MCA Certification. Now, Breanne is making $500k per year AS A MINDSET COACH.
Yep, you read that right.
After graduating from The Mindset Coach Academy, Breanne went on to start The Elite Competitor Program with her sister-in-law, Kristina. Their focus is to give female athletes the mental skills they need to navigate the normal pressures of their sport AND give support and accountability tools to their moms. Today, their business is expanding in every direction with no signs of slowing down.
What I love about this episode is how Breanne takes us through her evolution. She didn’t go from $0 to 500k overnight. Her path to 500k was riddled with self-doubt, failure, dead ends, and general hard stuff. Her success comes from her determination to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Today, she’s giving us an inside look at her mindset and business journey to 500k.
If you are considering joining us for our Mindset Coach Academy Certification program in the spring, or simply want to know what it’s like to become a Mindset Coach, this episode is a must-listen. Breanne is one of our most successful students, and a living example that it is possible to do good work in the world and make money.
Listen, share, rate, review, and connect with Breanne!

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[1:00] Breanne gives a quick intro about her business, The Elite Competitor Program. She talks about why she chose to take the leap and join MCA Certification as new mom, high school teacher, and volleyball coach in 2019.
[7:13] While going through the MCA Certification, Breanne started to feel a responsibility to share mental training with her community. Although she didn’t have a clear vision at the time, she made the choice to put one foot in front of the other.
[13:34] Lindsey and Breanne discuss how she scaled from $60k in 2020, to $120k in 2021, to $500k in 2022.
[17:00] Failed launches, zero enrollments, and messy marketing are all part of the process. Breanne shares her one regret: Not trusting herself more from the very beginning.
[21:09] Breanne talks about about her failed launch in 2020 and how that failure helped her pivot her business and forge the right path. Lindsey and Breanne talk about what it really looks like to “fail forward”
[28:00] Neither Breanne nor her business partner, Kristina, had any experience in business. Lindsey and Breanne get into the importance of both action AND mindset. Breanne talks about finding her niche as a Mindset Coach for female athletes and their moms.
[31:50] Lindsey asks Breanne about the future of The Elite Competitor Program. From a Costa Rican retreat to expanding their business to include training for coaches, Breanne shares what’s next.
[33:00] Wrapping up this episode, Breanne encourages moms of female athletes to reach out and talks a bit about her podcast, The Elite Competitor Podcast.
