MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Episode 90 of The Mental Game features a riveting conversation with veteran sportswriter Rustin Dodd of The Athletic.
Dodd is a senior writer for The Athletic’s Peak vertical, covering sports leadership, personal development, and success. His stories have a sharp mental game focus, ranging from how an NFL kicker deals with nerves ahead of the Super Bowl to how a college basketball coach catalogs and learns from mistakes.
Dodd came to The Athletic in 2018 after nine years at Kansas City Star. He has also co-authored two books: Kingdom Quarterback: Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs, and How a Once-Swingin’ Cowtown Chased the Ultimate Comeback and Perfect Pitch: How Kansas City Became the Heart of American Soccer and Landed the World Cup.
In this episode, Dodd:
- Breaks down the Peak story he’s learned the most from
- Dives deep into some of his most unique reporting, including studying the routine of Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers
- Explains how studying top athletes can help you do your dishes better
- And much more
