Cultivating Resilience: Turning Obstacles Into Opportunities

February 10, 2021 • Season 1 • Episode 7

What do you do when circumstances outside your control continuously interfere with your plans? . . . When the hits just keep coming and you fear being ultimately blocked off your goals? When optimism seems perhaps, a bit elusive?

This is a time for building resiliency and investing in your mental game to help you rise above and push forward. Former Oklahoma State cornerback Devin Hedgepeth shares his framework for cultivating resiliency, a system he discovered after experiencing a career-ending injury that blocked him from his dreams of playing in the NFL. Devin’s approach for leveraging obstacles is relevant no matter what obstacles you face — even the roadblocks.

This episode will equip you to change your mindset, thoughts, actions, and ultimately your life. There’s ALWAYS a way to rise above. Take a listen and SHARE with your teammates! Let’s move forward together!

Devin's free ebook "The Victorious Defeat" includes a helpful workbook to help you put his system into action. Access his free book HERE.
