The ASHPerformance Podcast Ep 2: | Mental Game, Movement, & Athletic Development Ft. Cole Pulkkinen

In this episode of the ASHPerformance Podcast, I sit down with basketball performance coach Cole Pulkinen from By Any Means Basketball to talk about what actually helps athletes improve — beyond just doing more drills or working harder. Cole shares his path from playing at Southern Maine Community College to working full-time in athlete development, training players virtually, traveling to By Any Means gyms, and preparing for a move to their Toronto location. We dive deep into the mental side of performance, movement variability, and how athletes should think about skill work, strength training, and long-term development. This conversation breaks down modern skill acquisition concepts into practical ideas athletes and coaches can immediately apply. If you’re serious about leveling up your game and understanding how improvement actually happens, this episode is for you. ⸻ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS • The Mental Game (0:55-11:50) • Movement Variability (11:50-22:20) • Balancing Variability and Structure (16:26-19:57) The Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) (19:06-23:20) • Weight Room and On-Court Relationship (23:20-27:14) • Three Principles for Performance Improvement (27:14-29:50) • Intentionality in Training (29:50-32:23) ⸻ Follow Cole: Instagram → @byanymeanscolep Follow ASHPerformance: Instagram → @asherabelesperformance
