Forged Youth: Legacy Within
What if the conversations you needed most as a teen athlete were finally being had, openly, honestly, and with purpose?
Forged Youth: Legacy Within is the podcast that equips youth athletes (ages 12–24), their parents, and coaches with the mental tools, emotional resilience, and life insight to rise above the noise and grow into strong, intentional human beings.
Each episode features real, raw conversations with professional athletes, CEOs, and cultural leaders sharing what they wish they knew when they were younger. We unpack topics like mental grit, overcoming adversity, identity beyond sport, and building a life of purpose, even when things fall apart.
Hosted by former elite athlete and mental health advocate Mariel Nichole Anderson, this podcast is your companion through the messy middle of chasing big dreams, and becoming someone even bigger in the process.
Because you weren’t born to just survive sport. You were made to be forged by it.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Confidence is built through your mindset, your habits, and the stories you tell yourself every day. Jasmit Singh Phulka, a world-class wrestler and a man who’s defied every expectation, drops the truth about how mental toughness, patience, and self-awareness shape performance, even when the odds are stacked against you.
If you’re tired of feeling pressure, overthinking your next move, or watching your confidence slip away when it matters most, this episode is your guide to reclaiming your confidence. Jasmit shares how his journey from a reluctant, scrappy kid to a seasoned international athlete taught him that sports reveal what needs strengthening, mentally and emotionally. You’ll discover how the art of effortless effort, mastering the pause, and controlling what you can actually impact are the fundamentals of creating resilience that lasts a lifetime. With real stories of pushing through injury, aging, and adversity, he proves that resilience is not just about physical grit, it’s a mindset you can train daily. We break down:
- How to see setbacks as opportunities for growth, not failures
- Why mental rehearsal and visualization are game-changers in high-pressure moments
- The importance of surrounding yourself with coaches and mentors who build your confidence as a person, not just an athlete
- Practical ways to strengthen your self-talk and manage anxiety before big performances
- Why longevity is an art and staying at the top requires constant mental renewal and adaptability
Jasmeet’s insights remind us that sport is a training ground for life and that who you become in the process matters far more than medals or trophies. If you want to forge a legacy that lasts, start by mastering your mind. Because true confidence is created, not found. Train your mind. Build your grit. Forge your legacy.
