Conversation with Ashley Kuchar

Ashley Kuchar, PhD is a former star college basketball player and the founder of Fail Better Training, which teaches athletes, coaches, and professionals how to use self-compassion to improve their performance. Ashley completed her dissertation under the supervision of Kristin Neff at the University of Texas at Austin.  She developed the RESET resilience program, an empirically supported self-compassion training program that was found to increase athlete adaptive coping and athletic performance.

Many people in the business and sports world assume that self-compassion interferes with motivation and performance, but building inner strength and acting as a wise supportive coach actually helps us achieve our full potential.
