This relaxed episode is brought to you by COREFSN.COM and CORENUTRITION.COM. Together Joe Giustino and Andy Leckie sit down to discuss their recent experiences at the Notre Dame Football Strength and Condition Clinic and the Midwest Sport and Exercise Psychology Symposium. On top of discussing their recent weekend of knowledge, we get into explaining how Emotions drive us, Motivate us and sometimes Define us.

As usual, we found ourselves long-winded and needing to get some emotions off our chest. CATKP hopes you enjoy this hear-felt and relaxed episode. Thank you for listening and all of your constant support.

We want to give a special thanks to the authors who did the research for the topic of this episode, Defining Success Through Goal Orientation. To further understand how Mastery and Performance Goal orientations can affect the psychology of an athlete, please click on the links below. This episode highlights how both coaches and athletes can achieve and define success in separate ways. Coach Joe and Andy talk about two coaching legends, John Wooden and Vince Lombardi. We look at how the two created their own ways of bringing success to their teams, in two different styles.
