This week, Kirsten welcomes Linda Martindale, a former college athlete (Arizona Wildcats Basketball!), a dedicated mental fitness coach, a motivational speaker, a high school boys basketball coach, a former college basketball coach and an entrepreneur. Linda is also a proud mother of four college athletes and two dogs (one is athletic, and one is definitely not).
Shout out to Worcester Academy’s Dan and Jamie Sullivan for connecting Kirsten and Linda!
Kirsten and Linda dive into their mutual passion about mental fitness and its’ impact on student-athletes. They talk about how honesty and being straight with kids is so powerful to their being “seen” whether they are getting a lot of playing time or not.
Another impressive woman to end our Women's History Month series!

I get asked all the time for tools to help athletes. With that in mind, I have created a Winning Mindset Workshop (with my teammates, Matt and Tanya!) and I will debut the first workshop on Monday 4/8 @ 6p PST. Don’t worry if you can’t make it on 4/1 - you will have a chance to watch the replay for 7 days. I am so excited! Check it out here: https://www.kirstenjonesinc.com/visualization-workshop

Guess what I felt this weekend? Proud! I guess I’m consistent. Evan and I were grateful to go see Parker play in Memphis as Colgate Men’s Basketball played in March Madness (aka gotta go to the dance🕺🏀!) Colgate didn’t win the game, but we won as parents. Proud ❤️
And yes, we did do visualization exercises on the lead up to the game!
Let’s do this!
