Mindset training for coaches, teams, athletes and clubs to max out in life and sport.

Dr. Larry Widman | High Performance Psychiatrist | Elite Mindset Coach

Doc has over 25 years of experience as a psychiatrist and nearly 20 years working as a high-performance mindset coach. Doc works with professional athletes, Olympians, and elite level college and high school athletes as well. He works with multiple NCAA, NAIA and top high school programs throughout the country. Doc has been an integral part of six Division I National Championships, dozens of State Championships and hundreds of teams that have maxed out when it mattered the most. 


A lot has transpired in the world, good and bad, COVID-19 entered our world, political divisiveness became the norm, and societal pressures, especially for 15–22-year-old student-athletes, became heightened and led to the most psychological distress that I have witnessed during my career. This is why we have partnered with the Paige for Paige foundation. 

Paige Roessner, was a fierce competitor on the softball field. Off the field, she also battled with formidable opponents: depression and anxiety. Paige ultimately lost her life to suicide on 3/30/22. Since Paige’s passing, the Play for Paige 33 Foundation was established by her parents, Jason and Barb, to help other student-athletes, like Paige, who are affected by mental illness. Their mission is to help spread awareness about mental health among students and student-athletes so that they know they are not alone, and that there are others fighting their same battles. They will also be providing tools for parents and coaches to help them recognize and support athletes who may be struggling with depression or anxiety. 

As I watch the Max Out Mindset, 7 Innings of Mental Health and Mindset Training Video Series, I find myself thinking about what if I had been able to receive this information when I was beginning my softball journey. What if I had been coached to develop my mindset and worked as hard on it as I have the physical part of my game?

Thankfully, with more individuals openly discussing these topics, it is becoming increasingly common for young girls just starting out to prioritize this essential skill. Cultivating a strong mindset can help carry them through moments of adversity both on and off the field.

 Moreover, the 7 Innings Podcast features interviews with several high-level athletes, highlighting that struggles are universal, regardless of one's level of expertise. It serves as a reminder that no one has to face challenges alone; there is a supportive community ready to back us up.

 After watching the Max Out Mindset, 7 Innings of Mental Health and Mindset Training Video Series we feel that this series can provide anyone with skills to help them handle adversity, in athletics or day to day life scenarios. Being a student-athlete is hard. Life is hard. Being reminded through this video series that everyone struggles and that you are not alone, and it is okay to ask for help. The more tools and videos like the Max Out Mindset Series that are available for athletes who are struggling will help end the stigma of regarding mental health care. Letting those who are struggling know that it is okay to ask for help and that they are not alone will also help end the stigma. We need to keep pushing and make sure that athletes don't have to hide and act like everything is okay, when they could be struggling and no one knows. Having more resources will help athletes be more vulnerable and speak up. Being teammates and friends of Paige's, you never would have known how bad she was struggling. She came every day to school, practice, and workouts with a smile, but deep down inside, she was struggling, and we had no idea, which makes mental health so scary. Paige was the first person we lost due to mental health stuggles. Losing Paige opened our eyes to how real mental health is, and the closest people to you could be struggling, and you might never know. The Roessner family are remarkable people. What they have been through, but they continue to share their story and work day in and day out to ensure that there are resources out there so that other families might not have to experience what life has thrown at them. They have tackled this head-on and continue to raise awareness and keep Paige's legacy alive. Lastly, to anyone struggling, it is okay not to be okay. If you are struggling, ask for help.
