The weight of performance: How Athletes View Their Bodies Lindsay is taking the lead on this series debut of the Body image issues in athletes podcast. Having written her thesis on this topic, Lindsay accounts her passion for it on being an athlete herself. Her experience as a competitive basketball player combined with the accumulated knowledge from research and client experience makes her the perfect source to address these issues. This episode introduces the upcoming conversations that will support athletes in having healthy relationships with their bodies. The conversations will be based on the previously covered premises of dismantling the toxicity in sports and building a fresh and motivating culture. As a sports therapist who noticed the recurring themes of body images in sports, Lindsay felt a moral obligation to shield athletes from these issues. She also plans to educate coaches, caregivers, and sports supporters on communicating effectively with athletes. The talk evolves to cover the implications of the language of the body in performance settings. This includes how coaches try to motivate players with fear-inducing comments and the long-term impacts it has on them. Mat and Lindsay open up about their own experiences in competitive sports and share how that impacted their relationships with their bodies. The two provide varying perspectives as they experienced opposites on the body shape spectrum. This made for an interesting discussion that you will be glad to have been a part of.…

Mat and Lindsay are back with their series the Power of Control Wheel in Sports, where they discuss the sports culture and how it can be improved. Both are very passionate athletes enthusiastic about building an athletic community/society that is not detrimental to either the athletes, coaches, or parents’ mental health. In this episode, they discuss ways to create a high-performance sports culture that still allows everyone to enjoy a good game and have fun. This conversation is a much-needed talk that should happen within teams for all parties involved to excel at what they do. Addressing coaches guides them on improving team communication while avoiding tactics that may hurt their players. To parents, it brings awareness of what might be happening behind the locker rooms and how it might harm their children. This community discussion sets the foundation of transparency between all those in sports to continue and build a powerful team that gets along and leaves no one behind. They break down the scary and intimidating word “grooming”, in sports and what it means. As scary as the word is, they explain that some actions are so normalized that grooming could remain hidden in plain sight. Taking off the ignorance goggles, this conversation is one that these two sports psychologists personally know needs to happen. Growing up as competitive athletes themselves, they bring lived experiences and as psychologists, they explain the truth behind some human behaviors. Unveiling the truth behind grooming and manipulation in sports, Mat explains that grooming is usually an insecure attempt for coaches to control their athletes. Although sometimes it can be unintentional, Mat explains that this could also be an intentional attempt at manipulating athletes to play according to the coach's expectations. He further elaborates that putting players in a limited box could prevent them from having fun and playing expressively. Lindsay speaks on gaining the trust of athletes and that sometimes coaches may try to take advantage of a player’s family situation to get them to trust them. She shares the common issues some of her clients who are athletes deal with and the way to comprehend them effectively. While encouraging athletes to not limit themselves by their coach's perceptions, she also urges them to take charge of their athletic experiences and advocate for themselves. This episode is one eye-opener that aims to bring back the fun in sports for all those participating. Come tune in and see how you identify in the sports community and how to address some issues limiting your, your players or your child’s abilities.…

In continuation of the Confidence series by Mat and Kayla, this episode highlights the importance of managing our inner critic to maintain confidence. They break down practical ways to increase confidence, highlighting the importance of self-compassion. Taking us on an emotional journey most of us are familiar with, they address how our inner voices play a role in confidence and what our inner critic and self-analyzation do to our confidence. They discuss why self-compassion is important and why being over-critical isn't serving us. They explain our inner critical side where we make a mistake, and it is a direct threat against us and why a lot of the time we respond critically. They discuss how people respond with fight, freeze, flight, fawn, feign and flop. Kayla talks about the importance of feeling our feelings but not identifying ourselves with them. That is the ability to feel sad but not say “I am sad’, because often enough that is what keeps us stuck in a cycle with no change at all. Mat talks about the trauma response that keeps us stuck on a toxic cycle and how our brains keep us from making that needed change. This episode is overall a self-awareness lesson with two confidence coaches helping you navigate your emotions with grace and compassion.…

Fit at any cost: Eating Disorders in Sport For the upcoming Eating Disorder Awareness Week, which runs from February 1 to 7, these three athletes and Mindbuffs psychologists, Alex, Ana, and Lindsay, address the stigma and taboo surrounding eating disorders. All three, former or current competitors in different sports, share their experiences with specific sports cultures and the impact on athletes' health and performance. Acting as the host is Alex who brings to light the silence around eating disorders and body image issues in sports. She leads the discussion down a path of vulnerability and empathy that many athletes will resonate with. Previously a competing figure skater herself, she unravels the toxic culture within the industry by unpacking her experiences. Lindsay talks about aesthetic and non-aesthetic sports and the mind-blowing evidence that contrary to popular belief, athletes in aesthetic sports struggle less with body image issues than those in non-aesthetic sports. As a basketball player herself, she recalls when unsolicited backhanded compliments were harmful and why it is important for society to not project into athletes. Ana chimes in that it’s hard when athletes are healthy but society does not idealize their bodies as normal. She later elaborates that as an Olympic-style weightlifter, she knows that her body is healthy but she often struggles with how people can perceive her body as different depending on the social context. She mentions perfectionism as a cause of body issues in athletes and explains how perfectionism can serve a good purpose and when it can be detrimental. Through research-backed evidence, lived experiences, and the well-informed minds of sports psychologists, this conversation needed to be had and all athletes should hear it. Listeners will see eating disorders and body-image issues through a compassionate lens to have a healthier year.…

Both echo similar sentiments that the goal is not just investing in good people but people who are also willing to invest in you.

Using vivid imagery of the developer's model, they take listeners on a ride on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological systems’ microsystems, mesosystems, and ecosystems.

The Power and Control Wheel: Abuse in Sports 34:31

約 1 年前34:31

34:31

Hello friends! We have another exciting new Mindbuffs Podcast for you, live in high definition video! We are starting another new series this week, entitled the Power and Control Wheel: Abuse in Sport. This series will explore the power dynamics between coaches and athletes, using the Power and Control Wheel to show examples of this dynamic being abused. As the name implies, The Power and Control Wheel is a diagram we use to demonstrate ways abusers in sports use power to gain and control over athletes. A link to the Power and Control Wheel can be found HERE. In the world of sports coaches, trainers and other people of influence will sometimes use their authority to threaten and manipulate an athlete. We realize that many coaches genuinely do not realize they are participating in this cycle but it doesn't excuse them from misusing their position as a leader. Abuse may sound like a loaded word but the psychological consequences athletes experience when their careers are in the hands of a person who doesn't understand how wield their power can be severe. Grooming is a common behaviour in abuse. Abusers use their position of power to slowly gain their victims' trust before systematically breaking down interpersonal barriers between them. It's a longer more subtle process that can have several different motives for the coach. Other common forms of abuse are Minimizing, Denying, and Blaming. By making light of a situation, shifting the blame, or outright denying that it ever happened, abusers gaslight their victims that the abuse did not happen or that it was a perfectly acceptable part of training. Remember, abuse can come in many forms. Smaller, everyday incidents contribute to the problem. People will even sometimes invalidate their own experiences by comparing them to more severe stories they may have heard on tv or social media. This is called comparative suffering and no one wins when we do this. Any improper use of control where there exists a power differential can lead to normalization of abuse if the abuser is not held accountable. This culture of minimization can lead to emotional suppression among affected athletes and this, in turn, can lead to a dissociated state that can actually lead to physical injury. When it comes down to it, as with so many things in life, communication is key to preventing abuse in sports. Coaches are not infallible. Players need to feel comfortable discussing their experiences with their coaches, as well as their teammates, friends, teachers, and families without fear of reprisal and shame. When an athlete does have the courage to speak out they need to be listened to and believed. The vast majority of abuse complaints are real. We need to start by acknowledging and supporting these individuals, encouraging self-advocacy and sharing concerns with a trusted individual. We hope you join us for the next episode in the Power and Control Wheel series. The next episode will explore the relationship between coercion and isolation and their impact on mental health.

What is Confidence? Ep 1 35:43

約 1 年前35:43

35:43

The positive mindset and emotions that come with genuine confidence are so powerful that they can significantly alter our neurochemistry. Dozens of studies in medical journals show that confidence in one's recovery leads to accelerated and longer-lasting healing. In performance, confidence gives us a direct pathway to that sweet, sweet flow state. Unfortunately, there is no quick fix or simple solution for building confidence; it takes time and effort. It also takes time to explain, which is why we're starting a new series where we dig deep into the subject of confidence: what it means, how to access it, and how it can affect our performance in various situations. This first episode will introduce the topic and its significance. What is confidence? Confidence can be thought of as a complex system influenced by various factors. Many psychologists separate confidence into two types: trait confidence and situational confidence. Trait confidence, or more colloquially, self-confidence, is the belief in one's ability to perform a task well. It's about trusting one's ability to engage successfully with the world. It involves various internal and external factors such as skills, abilities, relationships, resilience and engagement. The journey to self-confidence can be long and complex. Commitment to learning and improving in a task you enjoy over time that can be shared with others or just for yourself is the most simplistic way of understanding how to acquire it. Situational confidence, on the other hand, is the belief in one's ability to succeed in a specific situation. A pianist can often feel very confident when playing along, but if you put that same person in a room full of people, it can begin to feel like the situation is getting in the way of trait confidence. A large portion of sports psychology aims to assist people in maintaining their trait confidence regardless of the situation because our brain likes to think that every new situation requires a new way of performing. Practicing or even visualizing performance in various situations is a very helpful way of ensuring both trait and situational confidence are on the same page. Our past trauma can also interfere with both types of confidence. Sometimes, the brain associates similar stimuli with past trauma, leading to a reliving of the experience. This can lead to a fight, flight or freeze response that gets in the way of our ability to perform. Most of us know that discussing your past with a professional can help you overcome this emotional response. Still, many of us will wait until another tragedy brings us to our wit's end before we seek help. The reality is that it's actually more effective to work on self-esteem when you're feeling goodish, not when you've hit rock bottom. Therapeutic work is easier during good times and prepares individuals for future struggles. So, take advantage of positive periods in your life to make those challenging internal changes less difficult and time-consuming.
