This episode of Changing the Channel features a conversation with Barbara Halina, an athlete excellence coach who empowers elite high school athletes to unlock their potential. Barbara discusses the importance of athletes seeing competition as a personal journey towards being 1% better every day, rather than comparing themselves with others. She also touches on the new opportunities for college athletes to earn from their name, image, and likeness, emphasizing the importance of starting with a strong social media presence. The discussion delves into mindset coaching, seeing challenges as opportunities for personal growth, and the broader implications of sportsmanship in politics and society. The conversation concludes with advice for parents on supporting their young athletes' growth and the significance of curiosity, the four agreements, and embracing one's authentic self in personal development.
