Alison Gorrell grew up in Colorado playing tennis and basketball and went on to play Division I basketball in college. After graduating, while pursuing an advanced degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology, she played professional basketball overseas. Through her career, she learned how important the mental side of the game was to the overall success of a player. The psychology of athletes became a huge passion of hers, leading her to start her own coaching business.
Alison's Notes from the Sidelines:
- There's a stigma to be strong in athletics and have your mind right, but athletes actually need to be taught the skills, tools, and techniques for success.
- Alison believes what makes a great basketball game is ball movement, action, team play, and competitiveness; a game where everyone is showing up ready to go and all players are looking to win a championship together is best, versus a game where players are looking to collect individual records.
- What's special about sports is being able to learn about athletes as individuals beyond the sport they play. We have a greater attachment as fans when we realize there is more to them than their athletic capabilities.
- Athletes are people, not just entertainers. They deal with all the same normal human emotions as everyone else, especially confidence.
