Hey Dr. Kristin Mauldin, what is flow state? 🤷🏾‍♂️
In this episode we sit down with Dr. Kristin Mauldin, Director of the M.S. Sport and Performance Psychology Program at California Baptist University, whose work bridges cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, and sport psychology. We learn about her upbringing, her path into the field, what flow state actually is and how you sustain it, how she mentally preps for a 50K, and how she brings her faith into a field that leans secular.

Faith and sports have more in common than you might think. 🙏🏽🏆

Both require trust when you can’t see the outcome, resilience when things don’t go your way, and the belief to keep moving forward despite adversity.

🎙️ This Saturday on the Mentality Podcast, we dive into the role faith plays in an athlete’s journey, from navigating pressure and setbacks to finding purpose beyond performance.

Whether you’re an athlete, coach, or competitor chasing something bigger than yourself, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Dropping Saturday. 🧠🙏🏽🔥

When pressure hits, your body is wired to respond. 🧠

This is known as the acute stress response — preparing you to:
⚡ Fight
🏃‍♂️ Flight
🧊 Freeze

Some rise to the moment.
Some try to escape it.
Others feel stuck in it.

It all starts internally, but shows up in your performance.

The key isn’t avoiding it… it’s understanding it.

🎙️ In this episode, Coach Nnamdi, Darin, and Marvin break down how these responses show up and how to manage them.
