19. Mental Toughness, Success, and Confidence with Kelsey Nelson

This week I have the pleasure of sharing an interview with Kelsey Nelson. You know how sometimes you meet someone and it just clicks? Kelsey and I clicked quickly and I think we have similar philosophies and approaches to teaching dance. In this episode, we cover topics like how to get more mentally tough dancers, how Kelsey defines success, and concrete tips for improving confidence in our dancers.   Mentioned in the show: Kelsey Nelson Instagram: @kjndance Spotify Playlist for dance teachers: kjndance Facebook: Kelsey Nelson Training technique   Journal Starter Prompts for Dancers: https://chelseapierotti.com/starterjournal   Matthew McConaughey Inspiring Graduation Speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmCTQ_mkzHU __________ This episode is brought to you by The Tiers System.
