Summary
We all have a set of coaches that reside in our head at any given time. Many of these are a compilation of past individuals who have influenced us and their past messages have now become our own internalized voice. Many of these are helpful but some of them may be harmful because their messages are negative in nature or bring us down rather than lift us up. Learning how to differentiate between the helpful coaches and harmful ones is an important step in weeding out what doesn't serve us.
LESSONS:
- Be aware not only of what messages you send yourself internally but also where these messages might be coming from.
- Differentiate between which internal coaches are helpful and which are harmful. Which ones make you feel good about yourself?
- Quiet the harmful coaches by calling up the helpful ones and giving them more air time in your head.

| 0:00.0 | Are you picking the right coach? |
| 0:02.0 | Hey Spartans, it's Dr. L. here with Spartan Mind, your chief mind doc. |
| 0:12.0 | Today we're talking about picking the right coach. |
| 0:15.0 | What I mean by that is that we all have like a team of coaches in our head, |
| 0:21.0 | right? |
| 0:22.0 | And these coaches will engage with us |
| 0:25.1 | at different times about different things |
| 0:27.1 | that either are helpful to us or harmful to us. |
| 0:30.2 | And some of these coaches might be from people in the past, |
| 0:33.2 | they might be from people in the present. |
| 0:35.1 | They don't actually have to be coaches you've had. |
| 0:37.2 | They could be friends, family members, teachers, colleagues, |
| 0:41.7 | anyone who somehow has gotten into your head, right, and uses language |
| 0:47.6 | with you that you've now internalized that you use for yourself. |
| 0:52.7 | So maybe for example you had an English teacher in sixth grade who told you that she didn't |
| 0:57.9 | think you could write, right? |
| 1:00.1 | So now all of a sudden you're an adult and you don't feel like you're very good at writing. |
| 1:03.8 | Well, it's because maybe she's in your head telling you that still. |
| 1:07.4 | Okay? So the thing is, we need to differentiate between who are the helpful coaches and who are the hurtful |
