Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back! This week on the podcast, I sit down with Erin Herle—a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), and holder of a Master’s in Sport & Performance Psychology. Together, we explore how mental coaching can transform an athlete’s performance, how coaches can use psychology to lead more effectively, and why grapplers must train their minds just as diligently as their bodies.

Erin breaks down what mental coaching truly is—and how it differs from therapy or everyday motivation. We dive into the common mental blocks she sees in combat athletes, and how to tackle competition anxiety and the fear of failure.

Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone looking to strengthen your mental game, this conversation is packed with insight you won’t want to miss.
