Coaching & Winning The Mental Game: Mental Mindset Performance Coach, Silver Edwards

In this episode, I’m joined by Silver Edwards (https://silveredwardscoaching.com/) for a deep conversation on what truly separates athletes who endure from those who evolve. Mindset. Emotional regulation. Confidence. Resilience. Capacity under pressure. These are not personality traits. They are skills—and like any skill, they must be trained, practiced, and reinforced daily. We unpack the truth too often overlooked in sport: Athletes don’t rise to the moment—they fall to the level of their preparation, especially when emotions run high and pressure is real. In this conversation, we explore: Why mindset and emotional control are trainable performance skills How confidence is built through process, consistency, and earned belief The coach’s responsibility to create environments that strengthen capacity The role parents and support systems play in either reinforcing growth—or unintentionally eroding it
