Today's guest is Dr. Andrea Wieland — Olympian, psychologist, high-performance expert, and founder of Winning Systems Psychology. She's the author of The Confident Performer , holds an MBA and PhD from The University of Iowa, and competed on the 1996 U.S. Olympic Field Hockey team. For 25+ years she's been building "systems of winning," not just for athletes but for leaders, teams, and performers in high-pressure fields. She's led mental conditioning at IMG Academy, overseen Sports Medicine, Nutrition, Mental Health & Performance for ~1,000+ athletes across 33 sports at Penn Athletics, and works with folks from special operations soldiers to elite amateurs. Her work focuses on integrating mental resilience, identity, consistency, and wellness — seeing the athlete as a whole person, not just for scorecards. When you listen to this episode, you will learn: The four domains of your identity. The goal of golf (hint: it's not winning). How your self-image can sabotage success. Why you need systems to succeed in golf (and life). How an alter ego can help your mindset on and off the course. Make sure to check out her website to learn more about her book and training.
