Unlocking The Athlete Mindset: Insights from Dr. Ayobello

Our very own Dr. Ayotunde Ayobello recently joined renowned journalist and blogger Dan Woog on the 06880 Podcast for a powerful and insightful conversation about The Athlete Mindset. Drawing from his unique experience as both a former professional athlete and a Yale-trained child psychiatrist, Dr. Ayobello unpacked the evolving landscape of youth sports—from the joys of competition to the rising pressures young athletes face today.

Together, they explored the mental health challenges that often go unnoticed in high-performance environments, discussed the importance of resilience, and shared practical tools that help young people thrive both on and off the field. Whether you’re a parent, coach, educator, or athlete yourself, this conversation offers timely insights into what it means to support the whole athlete in today’s world.
