Episode 20

Championship Mindset with Dr. Amber Selking

When Amber Selking steps onto the field, she doesn't just see the game; she sees the potential for mental metamorphosis. This episode of the One Big Thing podcast is like sitting down with a dear friend who happens to be a whiz at applied sports psychology and understanding the intricate dance between mindset, performance, and faith. Amber's journey from the soccer fields of Notre Dame to a corporate career and back to the sports arena, armed with a Ph.D. and a bible, provides a striking backdrop for a conversation that entwines the discipline of athletes with the daily hurdles we all face.

As someone who has felt the sting of an ACL injury and the identity shifts that come with life's great upheavals, I've learned that resilience isn't just for the playing field—it's for parenting, business, and personal growth. Together with Amber, we discuss the unspoken challenges of mental health in a world where social media often blurs the lines between seeking help and seeking attention. We share stories, laugh about the messiness of family life, and explore the Mental Performance Playbook she devised to tackle emotional control—a skill that's not just for athletes but for everyone who's ever lost their cool when life threw a curveball.

This conversation isn't just about finding balance; it's about finding purpose in the chaos and joy in the journey. We touch on the importance of aligning actions with values, the transformative practice of incremental improvement, and the art of pressing pause to appreciate the present. If you're ready to reframe your thinking and level up your mental fitness, let this heart-to-heart with Dr. Amber Selking be your guide. We're peeling back the layers of mental health, performance, and personal fulfillment.
