If your negative inner voice is way too chatty, then this episode is for you! We loved this conversation with clinical and sport psychologist, Dr. Mitchell Greene, owner of Greenepsych Clinical & Sport Psychology in which he works with athletes 1:1.
In this episode, Dr. Greene shares how runners can confront mind chatter—that negative inner voice—while racing and training—including how to work on improving, rather than proving, ourselves to others, how to set action goals, in addition to results goals, and how to race with courage, rather than waiting for that confidence to come.
Dr. Greene published Courage over Confidence: Managing Mind Chatter and Winning the Mental Game, a book based on his years of working with high-performing athletes who struggle with managing doubts and negative thinking. His book has spent time as a top 5 “Youth Sport” and “Sport Psychology” Book on Amazon.
Dr. Greene is licensed in the state of PA, and holds PSYpact certification, meaning he can practice telehealth across state lines in participating states.

Phil Stewart wants you to enter the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run lottery now…and here’s more about our legendary guest.
Phil is both a running and race management icon, both in the DC area as well as on the national and international stage. Phil has been the Event Director for the Credit Union Cherry Blossom, the premier springtime running event in Washington, DC, since 1991. He is arguably one of the nation’s experts on road race management, and is the editor and publisher of the Road Race Management newsletter, as well as the co-author of Organizing Running Events: The Complete Guide to Staging a Successful Road Race. Before he became a race director, Phil was, and still is, an accomplished distance runner. He has run the Boston Marathon 25 times, the first time in 1975, where he finished in 2:19:58, qualifying him for the 1976 Olympic Trials. He returned in 1977 to finish 15th overall. Phil has run Boston every decade of his life since those first races and most recently ran the 2021 Boston Marathon in his 70’s.
Phil shares all we need to know about Cherry Blossom and how we can enter. He also shares what helps him stay motivated throughout every decade of his life.
We loved having Phil on the show and appreciate all he continues to do for the running community.
