We’ve arrived at the second episode of My Playbook, an all-new Mental Game Podcast series.

In case you missed the first “My Playbook” with Reggie Hearn, click HERE.

To catch you up: On My Playbook, the world’s top athletes, coaches, psychologists and more will peel back the curtain on their personal playbooks for dealing with the ups and downs of life, mental health and their careers.

The second guest on My Playbook is Division I college basketball coach and former player Tiffany Sardin.

Sardin is fresh off a stint at Saint Louis University, where she was a key member of a staff that guided the Billikens to an Atlantic 10 championship.

Previously, Sardin was the head women’s basketball coach at Chicago State University after assistant stints at Clemson, UIC and Longwood, among others. As a player, Sardin served as a three-year captain at the University of Virginia. She then played professionally in Portugal before coaching.

I worked closely with Sardin at Chicago State, when I was a broadcaster and sports information director for her teams. I witnessed firsthand her unique mental game-focused coaching style, unafraid to talk mental health and to impact cerebral wisdom on her players. When the Cougars were struggling, Sardin almost always attributed the strife to something mental — and it was no different when they won.

Sardin has also battled immense personal setbacks, including the tragic losses of her brother and father in quick succession.

Coping with those losses forms the backbone of Sardin’s appearance on My Playbook, in which she gives you her formula for battling loss, recovering and moving on.

Enjoy and remember to be kind to yourself.
