"If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we're gonna be winners." In today's episode, I talked to sport psychology pioneer and mentor to many, Dr. Michael Sachs. We paid a very timely tribute to Gene Hackman and his 1986 classic Hoosiers. We reflected on the historical context and cultural impact of the movie. We discussed themes of second chances and redemption. We even talked about the opportunities for players to use their mental skills. You don't want to miss this episode. Scout's honor!
