In this episode, Coach Jojo calls out the athletes that are trying to play perfectly and why that issue is causing you problems. The main issue being that you probably have a control issue, but she is able to name give you three other reasons why you sh...

Time to set goals and actually achieve them!

Are you someone who sets goals, but never seems to actually get to the end because you stop halfway through? Or are you someone who can't seem to design your path in the "correct" way and you don't know if you can trust your path? Well then you're in the right place! 

This isn't for people who aren't motivated. This podcast is for people who are motivated...

Do you feel like you lack motivation to go to practice, to get extra work in, to give your 100% effort? 

Well, let me tell you that this happens to every athlete and that there is NOTHING wrong with you. You just need to learn to manage your mind.

In this episode, Coach Jojo talks about the reasons you feel unmotivated, but the biggest one being that when you play a sport on a team, controlled by someone else (your coach), you don&ap...

Let’s Play Unbothered

If other people can control your emotions, they control your performance.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what it really means to play unbothered — and no, it’s not being lazy, emotionless, or disengaged. It’s being stable. Focused. Dangerous.

I talk about why athletes get bothered in the first place (identity, approval, fear of embarrassment), the bad habits that show up because of it (overthinking, playing...

Why do you feel like two different athletes—one day confident and free, the next overthinking everything and playing tight?

In this episode, Coach Jojo breaks down why inconsistency shows up even when you’re working hard. We cover the three biggest causes: confidence that depends on outcomes, overthinking after mistakes, and fear taking over once doubt creeps in.

More importantly, you’ll get 3 simple, practical tools you can use imme...

In this episode of Let’s Play, we’re getting real about what it actually means to be a good teammate — not just existing on a team, but showing up the right way when it matters most.

I break down the biggest misunderstanding athletes have about being a “good teammate,” and why it’s easy to think you’re one when you’re playing well… but much harder when your role changes, you’re on the bench, injured, or feeling overlooked.

I’ll share...

In this episode of Let’s Play, JoJo breaks down why body language is one of the most powerful — and controllable — tools in sports. Whether you just air-balled a shot, made a mistake in front of a crowd, or feel yourself getting frustrated mid-game, how you move in those moments matters more than you think.

You’ll learn:

• What body language really is and why it affects performance instantly
• How motion creates emotion (and how to us...

After a bad game, it’s easy to spiral.
Missed shots, mistakes, overthinking, and that feeling that your confidence just disappeared overnight.

In this episode of Let’s Play, we talk about what actually matters after a bad performance—and what doesn’t. This isn’t about pretending the game didn’t happen or forcing yourself to “be positive.” It’s about learning how to process it in a way that helps you move forward instead of stay...

Confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t have.
It’s something you build—and something you can lose if you don’t know how to manage it.

In this episode of Let’s Play, we break down what confidence actually is for athletes, why it disappears so quickly, and what most athletes get wrong when they try to “be more confident.” This isn’t about hype, fake motivation, or telling yourself you’re great. It’s about understandin...

Pressure is something every athlete experiences — before games, practices, tryouts, and big moments. But pressure doesn’t mean you’re weak, unprepared, or incapable. Most of the time, it means you care.

In this episode of Let’s Play, JoJo Allred breaks down what pressure actually is, how it shows up in the body and mind, and why athletes struggle more with the belief that they shouldn’t feel pressure than with pressure itself.
