  • Let's Play Through a Film Session
    Jun 3 2026

    Do film sessions make you anxious?

    Do you find yourself dreading them after a game because you're worried a mistake you made is going to show up on the screen for everyone to see?

    In this episode, Coach Jojo talks about why so many athletes struggle with film sessions and how something that is supposed to help us grow has become a source of anxiety, fear, and frustration for many athletes.

    It's literally a reason your confidence could disappear.

    From sitting in a room with teammates and coaches to worrying about criticism, disappointment, or judgment, film can quickly become one of the most stressful parts of an athlete's experience.

    Coach Jojo also shares her personal experience with film sessions and why healing her relationship with film was one of the longest and most difficult mindset challenges she faced as an athlete.

    This episode explores how coaching environments can shape the way we view film, why athletes often become fearful of making mistakes because they know they'll have to watch them later, and how we can begin changing our relationship with the feedback we receive.

    Most importantly, Coach Jojo provides 5 practical tools to help athletes approach film with a healthier mindset.

    1. Thoughts create our feelings

    2. One focus rule

    3. Bad rep vs. bad athlete

    4. Watching good film

    5. The sympathy card

    Bonus Tool: practice your gratitude!

    If you've ever left a film session feeling defeated, embarrassed, or discouraged, this episode will help you start seeing film for what it was always meant to be: a tool for growth, not a measure of your worth as an athlete.

  • Let's Play When Bored
    May 25 2026

    Do you ever feel bored in your sport?

    Not because you don’t love it anymore, but because the season feels so far away, practice starts feeling repetitive, and every day begins to feel the exact same?

    In this episode, Coach Jojo talks about the kind of boredom athletes experience during the offseason, preseason, or long stretches away from competition—and why that boredom can kill motivation, effort, and growth if you don’t learn how to manage it.

    She asks athletes to rate their excitement for practice on a scale from 1–10 and breaks down what that number actually says about your mindset, your habits, and your relationship with your sport. Athletes will also learn how to raise that scale and create more energy, purpose, and competitiveness in everyday training.

    This episode dives into the importance of understanding how your brain works, because when you understand what your mind needs, you can stop waiting around for motivation and start creating it yourself.

    Coach Jojo also talks about how injury can increase feelings of boredom and disconnection from your sport, making it harder to stay motivated during the recovery process. Gratitude, competitiveness, and learning how to challenge yourself daily are all discussed as ways to reconnect with your sport and stop feeling stuck.

    If practice has started to feel repetitive, draining, or meaningless lately, this episode will help you bring energy and purpose back into the process.

    May 18 2026

    Have you ever felt so much pressure in your sport that it felt like you forgot how to play?

    Like you’re making mistakes you’ve never made before, overthinking everything, and suddenly not playing like yourself anymore? Almost like you’re trapped in a different body while doing the thing you used to love?

    In this episode, Coach Jojo talks about what mental blockage actually feels like and how pressure can completely affect the way athletes think, react, and perform. From losing trust in yourself to spiraling after mistakes, this episode breaks down why athletes can suddenly feel disconnected from their game and confidence.

    Coach Jojo also shares a personal story about going from playing with confidence, to completely losing it during periods of mental blockage, and eventually building that confidence back again.

    Most importantly, this episode gives athletes three practical tools they can use to start breaking out of mental blockage, stop spiraling in their own heads, and reconnect with the player they know they are.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, disconnected, or mentally exhausted in your sport, this episode is for you.
