Steve Cook sits down with executive psychology coach and licensed counselor Mandy Morris to unpack how “small-t traumas” quietly shape behavior, performance, and self-worth. From fear-based coaching to overpraise, Mandy explains how different coaching styles can impact confidence, anxiety, and long-term development both on and off the field.
They dive into how unresolved past experiences show up in everyday reactions, why youth sports and attention spans are shifting, and how to recognize these patterns in athletes and leaders alike. Mandy also introduces her wellness app, SoFree, designed to reset your nervous system in under two minutes using science-backed stimulation techniques.
