Times Are Changing
Extra Inning Softball has partnered with former DI softball coach Julie Jones (Akron, Cleveland State) and current Mental Performance Coach at SSB Performance to help give athletes, coaches and others in the softball world the Mental Edge.
Julie spent 26 years leading Division I softball programs with her mission being simple: to build smarter students, stronger athletes and better people.
Julie regularly sends Mindset Made Simple Tips to players and coaches across the country as well as posting them on her site, SSB Performance.
In this week’s Mental edge, Julie Jones discusses change is imminent in both sports and business, with coaches constantly facing shifts in positions and expectations. The brain’s natural aversion to change can hinder progress, but adopting a growth mindset can turn challenges into opportunities. Embracing small steps, asking strategic questions, and conducting SWOT analyses facilitate effective change management and growth.
