How is Anna Hennings impacting athletes in her second act as a mental performance coach?
During a bit of midlife crisis, I decided that I wanted to impact the lives of young athletes. Pursuing a career change in my early 40s created a lot of uncertainty about where my choice to become a sport psychology professional would lead. However, placing my faith in the process for pursuing a life of purpose paid off.
My guest in this episode, Anna Hennings, has a very similar story. Anna is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant® and private practitioner who focuses on working with volleyball players. She pursued a second career in sport psychology to also live a life of purpose.
In Episode 54, Anna shares about her path to mental performance coaching and her experiences working with young athletes.
So, what’s your biggest takeaway from my conversation with Anna Hennings?
My biggest takeaway is that the mental skills that we teach to athletes are skills that they can use in all facets of life. We, as mental performance coaches, have the privilege to positively impact the lives of young people through our work. My conversation with Anna reinforced that fact.
My suggestion to young athletes is to find joy in the process of growth and improvement. We often must find faith in the process when the outcomes are not exactly what we would like them to be.
I want to thank Anna for her kind generosity and the wisdom she shared with The Freshman Foundation Community.
