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.

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.

Despite goal setting becoming super mainstream over the last decade, most of what you hear about it just barely scratches the surface.
Sure, breaking down your goals, building vision boards, and learning to manifest is great, but what happens when you don’t feel like getting out of bed? What happens on weeks when you lose the spark and motivation to achieve your goals? Is the payoff of your goals really worth what it’s going to take to get there?
When you rely on mainstream goal setting techniques you leave yourself vulnerable to all the real life shit that makes it hard for anyone, even the most disciplined people in the world, to make real, lasting change.
So in today’s episode, we’re going to dig deep. We’ll talk about:
- Planning for discomfort (before you feel it)
- Emotional goals - and why they motivate your subconscious
- What it means to break down you goals into numbers (and why it matters)
- Negative visualization and the Worst Case Scenario exercise
- The #1 question you should ask yourself when you set a goal
- + So much more.
If you have a big goal, whether that’s to start a business, make the Olympic team, or move out of the country, this episode breaks down 6 key questions that will give you the absolute best shot of taking your goal from a dream to a reality.
Listen to the full episode for context, and come back to these 6 questions whenever you need them.
8 KEY QUESTIONS FOR GOAL SETTING
Let’s say your goal is to get in shape, here’s how you might answer these 8 questions.
#1. How will achieving this goal change your life? I’ll have more energy in the morning to play with my kids, I’ll feel strong and able to do the activities I love. It may help my mental health.
#2. What is the (literal and figurative) cost of my goal? The cost of gym memberships, a workout program, and healthier groceries. The social cost of not going out for food and drinks as often.
#3. What can I do to increase the likelihood of my success in this goal? Getting a trainer, planning ahead, getting friends on board, getting a babysitter, meal planning, joining a meal delivery service.
#4:What are some numbers behind the goal? Are they realistic? # of hours I’ll work out every week, $ of a membership/training, # of months to achieve my goal, # on a scale.
#5. What is the best case scenario and what is the worst case scenario? Will it be worth it either way? Best case is I hit my goal and I feel great! Worst is I try and don’t hit my goal, but I get closer to it, and I make some healthy changes along the way.
#6. Who am I going to become in this process? I get to become the person who shows up for myself and works at what I want, I get to become someone who works hard even when I don’t feel like it. I get to become someone who sets an example for my athletes and my kids.
#7. What will I need from others?I’ll need someone else to walk the dog so I can make a healthy breakfast, I’ll need someone else to make dinner so we don’t order out as much. I’ll need someone to pick up the kids so I can go to the gym.
#8. What’s my plan when I get off course? When I get off course, I’ll journal about my goal and re-commit to it. I’ll reach out to my accountability buddy and schedule a workout.

This month in the Insider Program, we are going through a challenge that is designed to get us over our fear of rejection. It's about not letting our ego control our actions, and about interrupting thought patterns that work hard to keep us small.
Check out today's Mental Monday for more!

One of my coaches used to have this thing he called "The 5 Minute Rule". I come back to this rule anytime I don't want to do something.
For example, when I'm feeling sluggish and don't want to work out, when I'm uninspired and don't want to work, or when I feel overwhelmed about cleaning my house. And 9 times out of 10, it snaps me out of my slump and gets me moving.
Tune in to today's Mental Monday to learn all about "The 5 Minute Rule"

Today I am diving into something called The Motivation Triad.
The motivation triad basically says that your brain won’t waste energy on something that it doesn’t believe is going to work out.
Now, this manifested in my own life recently in a silly way, where I was struggling to figure out a new app and gave up, not realizing the solution was right in front of me. And I see it manifesting in the lives of my students as they build their businesses. Honestly, you can see the effects of The Motivation Triad everywhere and in your own life, once you understand what it is.
I highly recommend you listen to the full podcast, and remember this key takeaway: Before you decide to give up on something, whether it’s using a new app, or building a business, or working on any new skill, remind yourself to keep looking for a solution, even if one isn’t obvious right away.
Because the second you stop looking for a solution, that’s the moment you stop being curious. And when you stop being curious, it’s over. your creativity will shut down and you’ll get stuck in your own blindspots.
