<p>In today's podcast episode, we welcome back Kristen Kelsay, the Head Volleyball Coach at Michigan State University.</p> <p>With this inspiring new head coach, we dive into mindset, leadership, and team dynamics. She emphasizes the importance of betting on yourself, taking calculated risks, and making decisions based on personal values. Building psychological safety and trust within a team is crucial. Athletes need to feel safe to fail and learn; trust is built through small actions but can be lost quickly. Resilience through adversity is highlighted, with past struggles and embracing challenges seen as growth opportunities. Kristen encourages courageous conflict and exemplifies transformational leadership, focusing on life skills beyond volleyball.</p> <p>Michigan State Volleyball’s mission of winning is supported by three pillars: Relationships, Values, and Growth. She trains confidence through consistent effort and embracing the learning process, offering valuable lessons and practical advice for athletes, coaches, and anyone looking to improve their mindset and leadership skills.</p> <p> </p> <p class="">Max Out Mindset for <a href= "https://www.maxoutmindset.com/shop/volleyballmindsetbook">Volleyball Book</a></p> <p class="">Max out Mindset for Volleyball book and services <a href= "https://www.maxoutmindset.com/trainyourmindset" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p> <p class=""><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/max_out_mindset_jess/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a>:<a href= "https://www.instagram.com/max_out_mindset_jess/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> @max_out_mind_Jess</a> and on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/JessKnecht" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">@JessKnecht </a></p> <p class=""><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/max_out_mindset">Instagram:@max_out_mindset</a> Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/Doc_elitemind" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@Doc_elitemind</a></p>
