On this episode of Mental Dive, I have the pleasure of being joined by Jenn Salling. Jenn is a national level softball player for Team Canada, competing for her country in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 2015 and 2019 Pan-Am Games. On top of this, Jenn was set to compete again for Team Canada in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, before it was postponed due to the coronavirus.
This posed some challenges for Jenn. Dating back to 2015, she was unsure if she was going to pursue softball anymore due to its removal from both the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games. However, this all changed when she heard news that softball was making its way back into the games for Tokyo 2020. This was her opportunity to finish her career with a bang and compete for Team Canada again at the highest stage.
Throughout the course of the podcast, myself and Jenn discuss various topics including her mindset that helps her keep going throughout adversity, how she embraces challenges, the importance of mental skills training, tips on how to stay productive during turbulent times, and a ton more!
