The Mental Edge: The Science Behind Mind Over Matter…and Why It Matters!

The Mental Edge

Extra Inning Softball has partnered with former DI softball coach Julie Jones (Akron, Cleveland State) and current Mental Performance and Mindset Coach to help give athletes, coaches and others in the softball world the “Mental Edge.”

Julie Jones

Julie spent 26 years leading Division I softball programs with her mission being simple: to build smarter students, stronger athletes and better people.

Today, she also serves as an Adjunct Professor at Ursuline College teaching well-being and performance, mindset training, athletic coaching and career development courses in both the undergraduate and graduate studies programs.

Continuing her work of helping student-athletes reach their goals on and off the field, Julie regularly sends Mindset Made Simple Tips to players and coaches across the country as well as posting them on her site, SSB Performance.

This week’s Mental Edge, Julie Jones emphasizes that I am not proposing we irresponsibly push through physical or mental pain but finding ways to help us alter our state so we can keep moving when we are uncomfortable can make a huge difference in our performance.
