How does Josie Nicholson help Ole Miss student-athletes be better than just okay?
Athletes who engage sport psychologists do so for many reasons. Sometimes they are seeking to improve their performance. Sometimes they are just looking to talk about everything but their sport. Regardless, the biggest misconception is that athletes that seek help from a sport psychologist need to fix something.
My guest on this episode, Josie Nicholson, is a former collegiate soccer player, host of the UNIT3D Podcast, and Assistant Athletic Director for Sport Psychology at the University of Mississippi.
In Episode 30, Josie discusses how her own athletic experiences led her into this unique and rewarding field. She debunks the myth that working with a sport psychology professional is only for those who are struggling and that it’s important for athletes to get help to be better than just okay.
My suggestion to young athletes is to be open-minded and leverage the resources available. It’s okay to be okay, but being just okay isn’t as good as being great.
I want to thank Josie for her kind generosity and the wisdom she shared with The Freshman Foundation Community.
