It’s not your skills, your stats, or your schedule. It’s the thought you keep believing.
In this episode, Susan reveals the real reason athletes stay stuck, spiral into self-doubt, and lose momentum during the recruiting process, and it has nothing to do with talent.
She breaks down the mindset model that changed her life and now helps her clients build lasting confidence, recover from rejection, and show up like the next-level version of themselves.
You’ll hear how one single thought can impact how you feel, how you act, and ultimately what kind of results you create, both in recruiting and in life.
