Becoming My Stronger Me
"Becoming My Stronger Me” is a podcast designed to help you become stronger in mind, body, and heart.
Season 1 - Like 47 million other Americans, I voluntarily left my successful full-time career to pursue, well, whatever was next. We’ll call this “my great resignation.” As you get to know me, you’ll see that I’m a type-A planner. So to make a life choice without some grand detailed master plan on the other side was unheard of. But now, 2 years later, it was the best decision of my life. Join me as I share my story, questions I asked myself (or wish I had), missteps I made (and how to avoid them), the effect this had on me and everyone around me, and other musings that helped me to become my stronger me.
Season 2 - The Mental Performance Series is dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between mental performance, sports excellence, leadership, and personal growth. We’ll dive deep into the psychology behind peak performance in athletics, leadership roles, and everyday life. Whether you're an athlete looking to optimize your mental game on the field, a leader seeking to inspire and motivate your team, or an individual striving for personal growth and success, this series provides practical tips, actionable strategies, and inspiring stories to help you unlock your full potential and become your stronger you.

What does it take to compete at the highest levels of soccer, transition into leadership beyond the game, and continue inspiring others decades later?
In this episode, Coach Nassim sits down with Therese Wolden Cooper, one of the most accomplished players in James Madison University (JMU) women's soccer history.
A native of Norway, Therese helped transform the JMU women's soccer program into a national contender during one of the most successful eras in its history. An explosive attacking player, she finished her collegiate career among the program's all-time leaders in goals, assists, and points, earning multiple conference honors while helping lead the Dukes to NCAA Tournament appearances and conference championships. Her impact on the program was so significant that she was selected for induction into the James Madison University Athletics Hall of Fame.
After her playing career, Therese continued to make an impact through coaching, leadership, and mentoring, carrying the lessons she learned on the field into every stage of life.
Whether you're an athlete, coach, parent, or simply someone striving to become your stronger self, Therese's story is a powerful reminder that the greatest victories often extend far beyond the game.
