In this conversation, Kate McCauley interviews Isaiah Covington, a performance coach for the Boston Celtics. They discuss Isaiah's journey from being a college student to becoming a coach at the professional level, emphasizing the importance of mindset, facing fears, and leadership development. Isaiah shares his experiences with networking, overcoming challenges, and the significance of building relationships in the sports industry. He also highlights innovative techniques for motivating athletes and the role of mindfulness in performance. Isaiah reveals that even some of the elite athletes you watch on TV deal with the same struggles many of us face: balancing it all. Isaiah shared about what the Celtics team did before every game last season. It’s a powerful ritual that I know will have coaches—from youth leagues to elite levels—thinking about how they can apply it with their own athletes. It’s all about getting locked in, and as Isaiah shows, it all starts with mindset.
