I'm delighted to welcome back coach and coach developer, Dr Jamie Taylor in this episode. Jamie's interests lie in performance enhancement in sport, specifically in coaching, coach development, high performance and talent development. Jamie is Assistant Professor in Elite Performance at Dublin City University and a senior coach developer at Grey Matters, a company specialising in performance enhancement and coaching development for individuals, sporting/cultural organisations and systems. In this episode, Jamie and I discuss his new book, co-edited with Prof Dave Collins, entitled ‘Sport Skill Acquisition: Integrating Theory and Practice'. The book carefully and critically considers the expanding knowledge of skill acquisition and motor control, with a focus on application, examining three major theoretical perspectives that dominate the field: cognitive, ecological dynamics, and predictive processing. Jamie and Prof Dave Collins use their combined wisdom as coaches, coach developers, and expert sport psychology practitioners to offer practical advice on blending theoretical approaches, using examples from a variety of sports and activities. For those looking to improve their work with performers, Sport Skill Acquisition provides a road map for choosing the best approach for each unique situation to develop skills for optimal sport performance.

Michael Wright contributed by discussing the varying definitions of "outstanding" players across different environments.20:51 -Analysis of Rugby Player Development and Academy SelectionAmy Shelley presented key insights from her research on rugby academies, noting that players identified as high potential at age 16 had increased chances of progressing to the premiership. Interestingly, players who were not initially recognized as academy players but later joined the Senior Academy had even higher conversion rates to premiership appearances. This suggests that perceptions and expectations from coaches can significantly influence player development.28:33 -The Impact of Early Labeling on Young AthletesAmy Shelley and Michael Wright examine the challenges faced by young athletes who are labeled as high potential by sports academies. They consider the potential pressures and expectations that come with this designation, including the impact on individual development and the risk of burnout.

He shared insights from his studies, including how different sibling relationships can influence athletes' experiences and development.23:06Exploring Sibling Dynamics in Sports PracticeMichael Wright raises questions about the role of siblings in sports practice, prompting Robin Taylor to share insights from research on the dynamics of play versus formal practice.

The discussion highlights the psychosocial aspects of these interactions and their implications for coaching strategies..33:33Exploring Parental Involvement in Youth Sports DevelopmentRobin Taylor highlights the potential for parents to positively impact their children's sports development by engaging in informal activities that reinforce skills learned in practice.

Laut einer Studie der Dublin City University dauert es im Schnitt 9 Minuten, bis Jungs zwischen 16 und 18 auf TikTok mit Videos der sogenannten Manosphere in Kontakt kommen. Die Manosphere ist ein Sammelbegriff für eine digitale Bewegung, die vor allem auf Social Media antifeministische, misogyne und queerfeindliche Inhalte verbreitet. Ihr Content ist geprägt von einem reaktionären Geschlechterverständnis, in dem Männern vermittelt wird, dass sie stark und kalt sein müssen und sich auf niemanden verlassen können. Diese Denkweisen tragen zur Radikalisierung junger Männer bei, die im schlimmsten Fall in Gewalttaten enden kann.Wie man die Manosphere hacktDas Kollektiv onlinetheater.live hat es sich in seinem Projekt „Myke – Hacking the Manosphere“ zur Aufgabe gemacht, diese Radikalisierungsmechanismen zu stören. Drei Monate lang haben sie TikTok-Videos veröffentlicht, die optisch und in der Ansprache an die Videos vermeintlicher Männlichkeitscoaches erinnern.Casper Weimann, eine der Personen hinter dem Projekt, spricht in dieser Folge mit Katharina darüber, wie sie es geschafft haben, mit ihren Videos junge Männer zu erreichen, wie die Reaktionen auf das Projekt waren und warum es digitale Streetwork braucht.Danke an alle, die den Lila-Podcast bereits unterstützen und uns damit über Wasser halten!Dennoch reichen die Crowdfunding-Einnahmen noch nicht aus, um alle 14 Tage eine Folge und einen Newsletter zu finanzieren.

Gary Murphy, Professor of Politics at Dublin City University, on the breakthrough in government formation talks.

Red pill, normies and soyboys. The world of ‘masculinity influencers' comes with its own jargon and those consuming the social media content become well-versed in speaking it.For the uninitiated, to be red pilled is an appropriated term from the film The Matrix, where the main character suddenly becomes alert to the world's “truth”, while us normies and soyboys (the ignorant and emasculated) wander through life like sheeple.While absurd and almost comedic to many, there is a growing body of young men who internalise the message that feminism has disempowered them, men must be stoic, virile and violent- and that staying in school is a waste of time when they could pay for an online course of [insert “hustler” of choice here] and become a “high value male.”A new resource has been created to provide guidance to schools, teachers and parents on how to address the impact of online masculinity influencers on children and young people, particularly teenage boys, across Ireland.The 39-page guide has been created by Dr Darragh McCashin, Dr Catherine Baker, alongside Dr Fiona O'Rourke at The Observatory on Cyberbullying, Cyberhate & Online Harassment in the Anti-Bullying Centre at Dublin City University.It sets out how much of the social media content of the so-called “manosphere” promotes harmful ideologies that are not just damaging to women but also boys and young men, and crucially, how to counter the message.Presented by Aideen Finnegan. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A new resource has been developed to help schools, teachers, and parents in Ireland address the reach of online masculinity influencers on children and teenagers, particularly boys. To discuss this Dr Darragh McCashin from the School of Psychology at Dublin City University and chair of the Observatory Project within DCU's Anti-Bullying Centre.

Helena Sheehan has spent decades involved in working class and Left struggles across the globe. She is an accomplished writer and academic who never lost or loses sight of her Marxist convictions. Her life brought her from America, as a devout Catholic entering the convent, to embracing revolutionary Marxism and participating in the Irish Republican struggle and the global communist movement. She also explains what it was like to visit the Soviet Union as a communist living in Ireland. In this episode we discuss her life in the global left, the development of her political views, first hand accounts of political struggles and debates, as well as lessons she has for Left wing politics today. She has recently written the book Until "We Fall: Long Distance Life on the Left". Here's a description: "Offers vivid first hand accounts of encounters with fellow socialists following the fall of the Soviet Union Most westerners glimpsed the breakup of the Soviet Union at a great distance, through a highly distorted lens which equated the expansion of capitalism with the rise of global democracy. But there were those, like Helena Sheehan, who watched more keenly and saw a world turning upside down. In her new autobiographical history from below, Until We Fall, Sheehan shares what she witnessed first-hand and close-up, as hopes were raised by glasnost and perestroika, only to be swept away in the bitter and brutal counterrevolutions that followed. In Until We Fall, we come along on Sheehan's travels as she tracks the fallout from the transition from flawed forms of socialism to a particularly predatory form of capitalism. As a sequel to Navigating the Zeitgeist — which captured 1950s cold-war America, the 1960s new left, the 1970s social movements and communist parties of Europe — Until We Fall takes us through Eastern Europe from the 1980s onward and moves on to offer vivid accounts of encounters with fellow socialists in many other places, such as Britain, Greece, and Mexico. It includes an entire chapter on South Africa, where Sheehan participated in its political and intellectual life for extended intervals of the post-apartheid period. And it offers her unique take on her birthplace, the United States, along with the unfolding realities confronting her chosen home, Ireland. She also reveals major changes in the culture of academe in the decades she has taught in universities. As a philosopher, she scrutinizes the various intellectual currents prevailing, particularly positivism and postmodernism, and makes a persuasive case for the explanatory and ethical superiority of Marxism. As she moves through time and space, Sheehan pursues the perspectives of the vanquished in a world where the triumphalist narratives of the victors hold sway. The central storyline of the book is her political activism as waves of history swept through the left and challenged it in ever more formidable ways, bringing some victories but many defeats. She raises questions of how to keep going in this time of monsters, when the old is dying and the new cannot be born, when capitalism is decadent yet still dominant." Helena Sheehan is Professor Emerita at Dublin City University, where she taught philosophy of science, history of ideas and media studies. She is author of many publications on philosophy, politics and culture, including such books as Marxism and the Philosophy of Science, The Syriza Wave and Navigating the Zeitgeist. She has been active on the left for many decades.

New health, nutrition and weight loss trends are popping up daily on social media. Many of these fly-by-night trends are simply that, but a new study focusing on the platform TikTok found that these trends may have more of a hold on people than once thought. To expose the inaccurate information being extracted from TikTok, MyFitnessPal, the #1 nutrition and food tracking app, partnered with Dublin City University on a two-part research project called “Health and Nutrition Inaccuracies on TikTok”.  Part 1 looked at social media influencers and Part 2 looked at Gen Z TikTok users. Study findings ranged from determining that only about 2% of content being classified as accurate to Gen Z users trusting influencers more if they claim to be qualified dietitians. Tune in to this episode to learn about: ·       how and where Americans are getting their health information has changed ·       improving our digital literacy is necessary to make better choices ·       MyFitnessPal's ‘Nutrition IQ' surveys' key themes and concerning statistics ·       the Dublin City University 2-part research study ·       why the study focused on TikTok vs other platforms ·       preliminary findings from the 2-part study ·       what the “2% accuracy” finding really means ·       the positive finding about Gen Z's trust in registered dietitians over unqualified influencers ·       the importance of licensed professionals helping to champion scientific truth across social media ·       the mere exposure effect, parasocial effect, and rules of persuasion ·       how to identify warning signs when scrolling on social media ·       how RDNs can stay on top of trends and leverage them to create compelling content that is evidence-based ·       a helpful infographic on ‘How to Spot Questionable Nutrition Tips on Social Media' ·       if it's ‘safe' to be on TikTok ·       resources for the public and health professionals Full shownotes, transcript and resources at:  https://soundbitesrd.com/271

He expresses his belief that a stock market crash is inevitable, with the S&P 500 potentially reaching around 1000. Brady warns that the Federal Reserve will likely intervene to prevent a major market drop and discusses his expectations for bonds, currencies, commodities, Bitcoin, gold, and silver markets. Brady believes both gold and silver have been correlated recently but notes a disconnect with silver prices. He attributes the current strength of the gold market to Federal Reserve plans to cut interest rates, a weakening dollar, potential escalation of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, growing fiscal deficits, increasing demand from central banks and countries like China and India, and bullion bank squeezes. Brady predicts that miners will eventually catch up with the metals' price rise but may initially lag behind due to rising energy costs. David shares his perspective on how miners might respond once the Fed cuts interest rates, acknowledging uncertainty about whether this could be the catalyst for miner outperformance or if it's already priced in. Silver could also surpass gold's performance based on historical trends, with silver often underperforming gold but catching up during major rallies. David emphasizes the importance of looking at inflation-adjusted highs in gold and silver markets. David's investment strategy involves tracking the beta between miners and silver, buying high beta miners when he believes silver is about to rise, selling when he thinks it's near a top, and holding until silver drops significantly to validate the trend. David discusses the potential impact of the upcoming US election on monetary policy and markets, with both Trump and a Democrat potentially winning but differing approaches to fiscal spending and interest rates. He labels Trump as an inflationist and expects him to put pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, which could contribute to inflation and benefit gold and silver. Lastly, David also mentions his concern about larger investment funds that only rebalance their portfolios quarterly or monthly. He emphasizes the importance of being prepared for financial instability by holding physical metals, farmland, becoming self-sufficient, and paying off debt.
