Lord, direct me throughout my journey so I can experience your plans for my life. Reveal the life-paths that are pleasing to you. Escort me into your truth; take me by the hand and teach me. For you are the God of my salvation; I have wrapped my heart into yours all day long!
-Psalm 25-
The best athletes train their minds as well as their bodies. Mental health fuels physical strength.
Pause. Breathe. Release. Set. Go.
As a mentor I will help you…
My wins are those that happen within. Those that no one knows I'm fighting -
sometimes not even me. But I know they are won because they are in the hands of
the Almighty.
That's how and why Winning the Journey Within came about. I want to help you
find your purpose beyond the game, build your identity rooted in something bigger
than your performance - so that no highs, no lows can shake you. And this podcast
will soon have another dimension just for you.
Whether you are transitioning out of your competitive sport, dealing with injury,
coming back from pregnancy, or simply evolving as a person, identity crises are more common than you think.
And I’m here to tell you - they are not something to fear.
Your crises is your opportunity!
Empowering young athletes to develop mental strength, confidence, and a healthy relationship with sport from the start.
