 EWS Expert talk, w/ Dr. Tim Pineau ☯️ - Researcher and Clinical Psychotherapist; co-creator of the Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement program (MSPE); Author, and Sports Consultant.  We went over things like how Mindfulness principles can be applied to student-athletes lives; talked about ways on how to be at ease, and even grow professionally and personally, from difficult emotions; talked about appropriate times to be in auto-pilot mode, and, on the flip side, some hindrances that it can bring; the type of self-criticism that functions as an impairing element to performance; and touched on another topics and curious facts.    All in all, this is a colleague of mine that I love by his stance of having integrative views and treating the athlete or coach as a person in his/her whole with needs and wishes that go beyond the sports realm, and that is clearly manifested in his work, also continuously integrating Mindfulness in all the team elements that he gets in touch with.  Tim also has a Podcast in collaboration with lead Researcher on the field, Keith Kauffman, called Mindful Sport Performance Podcast. You can see more about their WORK and PROGRAM by clicking the words. ____ Quotes: “Athletes who get caught in that trap are just more likely to make that mistake; what they are doing is that they are priming themselves (by punishment) to go down an anxiety hole.”  “You can be the strongest, the fastest, the one with most endurance (...) but if your mind is not capable of letting your body do that, you're never gonna perform to your full potential (on being mentally sound).” ____ Timestamps: Resume and Guest Intro > (02:00) ; Tim's Journey through the Clinical & Sport Psych > (07:40) ; On Kabat-Zinn + Mindfulness & Sport Connection > (09:55) ; MSPE Program (Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement) > (13:15) ; MSPE Principles in Student-Athletes' lives > (15:40) ; Reflexive Reactions and Auto-pilot Mode Hindrances > (19:35) ; Being at ease with difficult emotions > (25:35) ; Hardwork on the Mental Side of Sports > (30:15) ; Mindfulness Correlates with Flow Experiences > (37:35) ; Example of an unusual sport - A Lesson on Relaxation and Moderation > (40:35) ; Self-criticism as an impairing element > (42:55) ; Ranges of quality - Poker example > (45:30) ; (!)

 Assuming something upfront from Behavior X is rash. ⁉️ Inquiring and Exploring is wise.  Want to know more about your internal processes? As a coach / parent, want to get closer to your athlete / child and ‘efficiently work' to help him? The best road I know to get there is the one with QUESTIONS.    On this QBIO, not only is shared the power of questions, but more importantly, the intent and the stance one should enter while posing them (Hint: always curiosity...!)  It might seem trivial, but this episode is essential to E-W-S! Questions may very well be the main ingredients for a healthy relationship, for spurring athletic development, for respect and empathy.  So, do you have something to ask yourself? Someone in the team? Us, at EWS? Be at ease, and express yourself. _____ We appreciate your feedback: By leaving a Review for EWS HERE, you are automatically helping athletes/youngsters in need.

 Which moments in Sports get you the chills? ⬜ I get emotional with moments of Fair Play. And it's about this essential Principle filled with great values that we get on a ramble for this PotW.   No particular reference to a post, just sharing 4 touching episodes representative of Fair Play.   With these, and by sharing some thoughts about it, EWS hopes to raise awareness for what matters most across Sports, and what should be embodied and taken to other areas of life.  Because what would be of one's genuine love to play and to win, without having fair competition and Fair Play measures. Without Fair Play where would be the dignity in the play of the game?  This was indeed a special episode to produce and to share with you. So...    -- Please reflect on this. Be a force in favor of Fair Play values, especially where dirty gaming or cheating may be spurring out. _____  Videos for the episodes referenced: - Belotti - - Gonçalo - - Dinis - - Morelos - Support us!

 Welcome to the updated EWS Podcast!

 Wondering what standing at a poker table ♠️ can teach other sports contexts? This is the fittest episode for that. Grabbing from qualities like Patience, Composure, Emotional Management, and a bunch of others herein described, we get Poker Pro and Mental Game Coach - Tommy Angelo!  With a growing personal interest in Poker, our Host, Gonçalo Marques started to look after some specialists in this area that could provide great value for E-W-S. And this man was a top choice! Thrilled to receive him and bring some concepts of the poker game to produce some useful metaphors!    He got in contact with Mindfulness philosophy and practices, and not only it improved his quality of life while in a troubled period of his life, but also led to significant improvements in his consistency and A-game at the poker tables.  He shares here some of his art of Stillness, of having robustness, and facing Competitors in positive ways. This, and much more relevant topics for any athlete.
