About Coaching Mind's Podcast: Perform at your best!

This podcast is designed to help people take back control of their mind and body in high-pressure situations. We primarily focus on athletic situations usually spend time talking with athletes and coaches about how to use these tools in an athletic setting. However, we firmly believe that these are tools and skills that you will be able to use for the rest of your life in any situation or setting that causes your mind or body to get off track. Whether that is losing focus to distractions, losing confidence, that little voice in the back of your mind creating doubt, or wondering if you have what it takes, we use tools and strategies backed by cognitive brain research and neuropsychology to help YOU take back control and perform at your best when it matters the most.

#151 - Dillon Thieneman on Preparation, Pressure, and Playing Free

Published 9 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And I felt that that piece was the preparation I took into understanding the opponent and then understanding myself and what our defensive game plan was going into that game. Um, Who are the top receivers? What are their plays? What kind of formations hint to certain routes or certain things that the offense is trying to do? What do they do in situations? What does the quarterback like to do? So if I could prepare and kind of have some of those answers in my mind, going out on the field, I think it allowed me to play faster, play better, and have more confidence in my play because I almost understood what the offense was doing before they were doing it.
