There Is Nobility in the Struggle with Dr. Colleen Hacker, FNAP – Team USA / Pacific Lutheran Univ.

May 12, 2025 • By ADInsider

Watch as Dr. Colleen Hacker discusses mental toughness and how today's environment and culture do not value and respect the struggles and difficulties that athletes encounter. Not achieving in any form of athletics may be considered a failure and that attitude needs to change as Dr. Hacker believes there is nobility in the struggle. She explains that athletes need to recognize their current performance level, realistically understand their potential, and identify the steps needed to reach their goals.

Dr. Colleen Hacker is a Professor in the Department of Kinesiology, Sport, and Performance Psychology at Pacific Lutheran University and has served as a member of the Team USA coaching staff for six Olympic Games as a Mental Skills Coach and Performance Psychology Specialist.
