In this episode of Building Championship Mindsets, Dr. Amber Selking discusses Play #2 of the mental performance playbook and the power of our mindset, and the power of leadership. She talks about how we can change the form and function of our brain based on how we think to allow us to show up to moments like a champion. Dr. Selking shares the story of a leader who was losing his motivation and how we need to know why we do what we do in order to cultivate purpose.
