On today’s episode, I’m talking to certified mental performance consultant Dr. Stephany Coakley about creating your own space.

Stephany works with student-athletes to develop mental health skills as the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Mental Health, Wellness and Performance at Temple University. She also works with professional athletes in the NFL, NBA, and beyond through her private practice. On the way to where she is today, Stephany developed her craft by creating her own space, like starting her private practice during grad school so she could start getting experience working with athletes. She also worked with warrior-athletes in the military to help them develop resilience. By creating her own space, she was able to gain experience, grow, and learn, and ultimately serve her higher mission to help people realize their best lives through sport.

We talk about:

How Stephany came to recognize the burnout she was feeling in the early part of her career and the decision to go back to school to get her PhD.How hard it is to break into sports and how she started her private practice to create her own space and build experience in her own way.Stephany’s personal mental health practices and the tools she encourages others to have at the ready in times of stress.
