Michigan softball NFCA All-America Second Team All-American Lauren Putz joins the Max Out Mindset Podcast to share the mental skills that have helped her perform at one of the highest levels in college athletics. In this honest and insightful conversation, Lauren opens up about overcoming negative self-talk, learning to stay present under pressure, and why confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you build through consistent work.
Lauren discusses the routines and mindset shifts that helped transform her game, including simplifying her approach with "see ball, hit ball," embracing pressure as a privilege, and discovering that athletes perform their best when they are both fun and focused. She also shares how mindset training has impacted not only her performance on the field but her growth as a person.
Whether you're an athlete, coach, or parent, this episode offers practical lessons on confidence, resilience, self-awareness, and competing with freedom when the stakes are highest. It's a powerful reminder that the best athletes aren't the ones who never struggle—they're the ones who learn how to respond when challenges come.
