Whether we’re building teams on the field, at home, or at work, Dr Kevin Elko believes we should always start by developing a winning language — that covers everything from creating a self-talk “script” to shifting the terms we use with teammates. Dr Elko would know. As a sports psychologist for pro and college football teams, he’s won more championship rings than most Hall of Famers have. On this episode, he goes deep on how self-talk can help us build self-confidence, how owning our actions puts us in the driver’s seat, and how good old-fashioned human connection is what holds a team together, especially in tough times.
