The Quest with Nick Horiates & Cole Jamison

48 - Finding Motivation & Improving Your Mental Health w/ Olympic Softball Player Nicole Mendes pt.2

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”
-Jim Ryun

Why do you think so many people go to the gym in January? Why do so many people start off the new year with these big resolutions, only to see them stop by the middle of March? It's easy to be motivated to go for a run, go to the gym, or start eating right. But soon after your start, the motivation your once had dissipates quickly. That's where habits and your drive to keep going take over and help you reach your goals.

This week's guest is Nicole Mendez, former University of Oklahoma soft player and current member of the Mexico Olympic softball team. Nicole started all 4 years for the Sooners, leading their team to the College Softball World Series each year, coming away with 2 national championships!

Throughout this episode Nicole dives into how to find motivation when you encounter the difficult situations life throws at you, how to structure your goals and learn from failing to reach them, why your mental health is so important to focus on, the power of your perspective and so much more!
