In this episode of Let’s Play, we’re getting real about what it actually means to be a good teammate — not just existing on a team, but showing up the right way when it matters most.

I break down the biggest misunderstanding athletes have about being a “good teammate,” and why it’s easy to think you’re one when you’re playing well… but much harder when your role changes, you’re on the bench, injured, or feeling overlooked.

I’ll share a personal story from my own athletic career where I was forced to become a better teammate in a high-stress moment — and how that experience completely changed the way I view trust, leadership, and performance. You’ll also get practical tools you can start using immediately to stay engaged, manage your emotions, and show up consistently for your team, no matter what your situation looks like.

Even if you already consider yourself a good teammate, this episode might challenge you to ask:
Am I really being the best teammate I can be?

If you’re an athlete who wants to:

• Earn trust from teammates and coaches
• Handle frustration, jealousy, or reduced minutes better
• Build stronger relationships on and off the field
• Become a leader without needing a title

…this episode is for you.

Welcome to Let’s Play, The Life Coach for Athletes Podcast, where I help athletes manage their minds for better performance, confidence, and to play because they love the game.
I’m your host, Jojo Allred. You can connect with me on TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook using the link in my bio.

In this episode of Let’s Play, JoJo breaks down why body language is one of the most powerful — and controllable — tools in sports. Whether you just air-balled a shot, made a mistake in front of a crowd, or feel yourself getting frustrated mid-game, how you move in those moments matters more than you think.

You’ll learn:

• What body language really is and why it affects performance instantly
• How motion creates emotion (and how to use that to your advantage)
• Why bad body language hurts not just you — but your teammates
• Simple tools to reset after mistakes using posture, communication, visualization, and mindset
• How mastering body language in sports carries over into real life

This episode is for athletes who are hard on themselves, get embarrassed easily, or want to feel more confident and present during competition. If you want to stop spiraling after mistakes and start playing free again, this one’s for you.

Let’s play with good body language.

Confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t have.
It’s something you build—and something you can lose if you don’t know how to manage it.

In this episode of Let’s Play, we break down what confidence actually is for athletes, why it disappears so quickly, and what most athletes get wrong when they try to “be more confident.” This isn’t about hype, fake motivation, or telling yourself you’re great. It’s about understanding your mindset so your confidence isn’t tied to one game, one play, or one mistake.

If you’re an athlete who:

• feels confident one day and shaky the next
• lets mistakes kill your momentum
• relies on results to feel good about yourself
• wants confidence that actually lasts

this episode will help you reset how you think about confidence and how you show up to compete.

Press play if you’re ready to stop chasing confidence—and start building it the right way.

After a bad game, it’s easy to spiral.
Missed shots, mistakes, overthinking, and that feeling that your confidence just disappeared overnight.

In this episode of Let’s Play, we talk about what actually matters after a bad performance—and what doesn’t. This isn’t about pretending the game didn’t happen or forcing yourself to “be positive.” It’s about learning how to process it in a way that helps you move forward instead of staying stuck.

If you’re an athlete who:

• keeps replaying mistakes in your head
• feels like one bad game defines you
• struggles to bounce back mentally
• wants to compete with confidence again

this episode is for you.

Press play if you want a healthier mindset after tough games—and a better way to show up for the next one.

Pressure is something every athlete experiences — before games, practices, tryouts, and big moments. But pressure doesn’t mean you’re weak, unprepared, or incapable. Most of the time, it means you care.

In this episode of Let’s Play, JoJo Allred breaks down what pressure actually is, how it shows up in the body and mind, and why athletes struggle more with the belief that they shouldn’t feel pressure than with pressure itself.

You’ll learn:

• Why pressure is normal and not a sign that something is wrong
• How pressure affects breathing, tension, and overthinking
• Why trying to “get rid of” pressure often makes it worse
• Three simple, practical tools athletes can use to manage pressure in real time:
  • Naming the pressure instead of fighting it
  • Slowing the body to calm the nervous system
  • Focusing on one controllable action to feel grounded and safe

This episode is about learning how to play with pressure, not against it — and how shifting your mindset can turn pressure into focus, intensity, and growth instead of anxiety and self-doubt.

If you take one thing from this episode, remember this: pressure doesn’t mean you’re not capable. It usually means the moment matters to you.
