    The Social Epidemic of Smart Phones is one that has exploded over the past decade and even more since the pandemic. Today I cover many of the depths of why this is such a pervasive problem in youth sports and beyond. To cover this topic at a deeper level, I will be taking many of the findings from a powerful new book recently released by Jonathan Haidt titled, “The anxious generation.” I highly recommend parents and athletes who are eager to learn more to read this. Also, I will take data from my own findings throughout the past year from my work with numerous athletes. Lastly, other data and ideas will be used in this podcast from other reputable outside sources. If you are a parent of an athlete , coach, or athlete you will most likely find this podcast enlightening, beneficial, and perhaps triggering. But remember this podcast is only to help inform you to make the best decisions based on what works for you, your athlete, and even your family. As always, thanks for listening.

    Ep #29: 10 Costly Mistakes Athletes Make

    In this episode, Patrick shares with his listeners the 10 costly mistakes athletes make. The first question to ask is why are athletes making these costly mistakes? We find that first and foremost, many of these costly mistakes may be due to a lack of awareness. This is why this podcast is necessary to shed light on the importance of checking in on your own mental game. But secondly, many of these mistakes are due to mental and emotional struggles and the maladaptive responses to them. Such mental and emotional turmoils often lead to avoidance behaviors. These emotional struggles include an inability or perception of lack of ability in dealing with anxiety, worry, frustration, unhappiness, and overall, fear. Ironically, many of these behavioral mistakes are counter intuitive to their original intentions of seeking out relief which often results in continued emotional suffering. So let's get into the 10 costly mistakes that athletes make. Before continuing, once again this podcast is not meant to trigger anyone and is not geared towards calling out anyone in particular. Also, there are far more then just 10. But here are the 10 mistakes that we will cover in today's podcast. 1. Over-training (not taking breaks, vacations, mentally detaching completely from sport).2. Social Media - Time spent, lowering attention focus, delaying long-term goal achievement, comparison (sadness, frustration, jealousy, envy, depression)3. Electronics - Video games, checking phones during practice (usually multiple times.)4. Lack of Communication - Not speaking to support team about struggles, asking for what they want, etc.5. Not Enough Structure: Routines, sleep, nutrition, fitness6. Staying with the wrong coach for too long: (Reciprocity effect) or Switching coaches/organizations too often:7. Not competing enough (waiting for the “right time”)8. Worrying about feeling anxious9. Trying to be perfect  Leads to Obsessions/more suffering (winning, ranking, destination, other peoples expectations)10. Choosing what's easy (escaping necessary discomfort) (training hard, fitness, competitions, see this in college institutions)** Leads to extortion tactics. For a limited time only we are offering a free 14-day trial! SPMI+ is an all-inclusive athlete mental training membership for athletes who are looking to strengthen their mental game and achieve long-lasting improvement in their sport.
