8-16-2026 The Sports Psychology Hour w Dr. Andrew Jacobs

Good morning, everybody.

I'm sports psychologist Dr. Andrew Jacobs, and welcome to our show here at Sports Radio 810 WHB.

As you know, I'm here every Sunday morning.

From 7 to 8 a.m. with my producer, Tristan Jordan, we come and talk to you about the mental side of sports.

In my 25th year here at Sports Radio 810 WHB, my 35th year on the radio.

And soon, the day after Labor Day, I'll be starting my 46th year of work as a sports psychologist.

So very fortunate to be doing this job, working with you on the mental side of sports.

And I love talking with you about this topic because, as I always like to say, you can have two athletes who are physically the same age.

But the one with the stronger mind will come out on top.

So what is a stronger mind? What does that mean? We delve into these topics on this show all the time.

As you know, I co-wrote a book with Peter Malone, who coached the Kansas City Blazers for 40 years, coached a number of Olympic medalists, and Jeff Montgomery, the Kansas City Royals all-time closer with over 300 saves.

Our book is called Just Let Them Play, Guiding Parents, Coaches, and Athletes Through Youth Sports.

It's been called The Bible of Youth Sports by Mojo Sports.

my passion is this this topic because how do we perform at our best how do we do our best what does it take you know I always like to say you can have two athletes are physically at the same with the one with a stronger mind come out I thought what is it what does that mean a stronger mind well it means a lot of different things and right now it's mid-august in fact exactly the middle of August and What that means is this, with the world of sports, the word pressure, the word pressure is starting to come into play.
