Joining Laura today is Dominique Moceanu, the youngest Olympic gold medalist in US gymnastics history and youngest senior US national all-around champion in history. Dominique was a member of the first US women's gymnastics team to win Olympic gold in 1996, commonly referred to as the ‘Magnificent Seven' by the media. A nine-time US national team member as well as back-to-back junior and senior all-around national champion, Dominique has been inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame and the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame with her 1996 teammates. But, as life would have it, all that glitter isn't gold. Even though Dominique made history as a young athlete and achieved astonishing results in her career, that success came with a heavy price. From a toxic sports environment to abusive coaching methods, there were a lot of things happening behind the scenes while Dominique and her teammates were winning medals and making gymnastics history. In this episode of the Pursuit of Gold podcast, Dominique opens up about her emotional and challenging journey. First, she tells us about the impact of the abusive sports environment on young athletes and the toll that it takes on their mental health. Then, she walks us through all the events that were leading up to the Olympics, as well as the hardships she endured after the competition. When Dominique finally decided to speak up about her experiences, everything changed for her. She was abandoned by the community and had to find another way to make a living. Fast forward a few years, and she's now a New York Times best-selling author and an advocate for athletes' rights and protection. Tune into this episode to hear all about her mission to make sports safer for future generations of athletes. Episode Highlights: Dominique's gymnastics journey The mental toll of a toxic sports environment The emotional and challenging lead-up to the Olympics Discovering your identity as a professional athlete Finding the right path post-Olympics The incredible power of telling your truth The devastating reality of standing up for yourself The importance of trust and support in a community The sacrifice of speaking up and the consequences of not speaking up Teaching young athletes to communicate Creating a safe and positive sports culture Quotes: “Everything went from bright and encouraging and nurturing to all of a sudden, a huge shift of the gym is cold, its environment is stressful. You're constantly humiliated and berated and trying to do things out of fear rather than out of nurture and love. ” “You can't be in the right mindset to pull the best out of yourself when you're terrified.” “I'm lucky that I made it as far as I did with that kind of intensity. Most teenagers would break. Most teenagers would not be able to handle it.” “You know it's wrong, but you can't articulate why. And you're supposed to have the adults advocate for you. ” “The mindset with everything going on, it wasn't the place I needed to be to probably be even my best, but it was good enough for gold.” “This is not who I am; it's what I do. And I love what I do, and I'm passionate about what I do. But you can't let it become who you are.” “Can you live with yourself if you don't do the right thing?” “That's what I kept saying to the women who came to me; it's wrong.

S1E69 - How to Effectively Implement Visualization with Our Host Laura Wilkinson

olympic games coaching pursuit practicing implement visualizations olympic trials gold podcast laura wilkinson

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 13, 2022 35:09

On today's episode, Laura's talking about one of the things she gets asked about most frequently: visualization. Laura credits this technique as a big part of why she was able to make the Olympic team and win gold when no one else expected her to. Having seen other athletes succeed with this approach, she adopted it as a way to continue training after shattering her foot three months before the Olympic Trials, making an opportunity out of that forced sidelining. Visualization has remained part of Laura's personal toolset, and she uses that experience in this episode to explain what the technique is and walk us through how to get started visualizing in a way that will actually make a difference. Visualization is defined as purposely rehearsing a skill, routine, or performance in your mind to program your body physically for success. Practicing it consistently becomes a fortifying competition strategy, rewiring your brain to prepare it to deal with all the different factors that come into play while competing. Laura explains that there are a few different ways to visualize, including first and third-person versions, which contribute different effects and should be used in conjunction with each other. She also points out the importance of engaging all your senses while visualizing to better immerse your brain and make changes more easily. Laura then shares some how-to basics for those wishing to start visualizing, from giving yourself a set amount of time to practice, to making sure you have a quiet place to visualize in, and starting with the approach that comes most naturally to you. And finally, Laura finishes the episode with some tips and tricks for beginners, including practicing frequently and consistently, mixing things up every day, and using video study to enhance your visualization. Episode Highlights: Laura's personal experience with visualization What visualization is Types and elements of visualization How-to visualizing basics Tips and tricks for getting started with visualization Quotes: “When I burst onto the scene winning an unexpected Olympic victory—well, unexpected to everyone else—the story that was being told was centered around me having shattered my foot before the Olympic trials and being unable to physically train. So I visualized, and that not only helped me make the Olympic team, but I consider it a big part of the reason that I was able to stand atop the podium and listen to my national anthem play.” “The more senses that you engage, the more your mind starts to believe that you're really doing the activity. You're actively rewiring your brain on how to fire and react when you're doing specific movements and techniques. So the more real it is to you, the more real it is to your brain, and the more effective changes you can actually make.” “People say practice makes perfect, but really, practice makes permanent. So if you're practicing or thinking about or visualizing the wrong actions, that's what you are making into concrete in your brain. So you really want to make sure, as you're visualizing, that you take the time to think about doing all the things, all the tiny, little details, correct because that's what you are programming in your brain.” “These visualizations of the competition scenarios, it just allows you to put yourself in so many different situations that maybe you don't have the actual time to be going out and doing the thirty different competitions against the same people to see how you would stack up in different scenarios. But you can do that in your mind.” “Make sure that you're keeping this positive. This is not a place to beat yourself up or to get frustrated. This is a place to learn, to experiment, and to see yourself doing all these awesome and amazing things that you've dreamed of doing.” Pursuit of Gold Podcast is brought to you by Kaatsu Global Links: The Pursuit of Gold 1-on-1 Coaching with Laura The Confidence Journal Life at 10 Meters: Lessons from an Olympic Champion Laura's Social Media: Laura's Instagram Laura's Facebook

Not many things bond you like the trauma of learning the ten-meter platform together, and that's exactly how Laura and this week's guest, Gretchen Sheirr, became friends. A former US national finalist in diving, Gretchen is President of Business Operations for the Houston Rockets, making her the fourth woman to lead the business operations of an NBA team. Gretchen kicks off the episode with her journey from a childhood dream of being a gymnast at LSU before losing motivation, to joining the diving team (about a week before Laura!), and finally getting to LSU on a diving scholarship. She and Laura also discuss how their friendships helped drive them to do better and the intense pressure now being put on high school athletes. And Gretchen talks about how being an athlete teaches you lessons that set you up for life, including accountability, coping with change, and how to respond to feedback constructively. Next, Gretchen discusses her decision to become a business major and how combining that with her passion for sports led her into the sports marketing industry and a job with the Rockets in the early 2000s. She talks about the changes the franchise was going through at that time and how that allowed her to make quick progress in her career while staying with the team. She also tackles what it takes to get into the sports industry and succeed, including a willingness to take risks, set goals, and make sacrifices. Laura then asks her to talk about what it feels like to be one of only a handful of women at the top of the NBA, and Gretchen admits there's a lot of pressure but also opportunities to raise others up, such as her work with Women in Sport and Events (WISE). The discussion then pivots to how the NBA and the Rockets dealt with the impact of COVID and the loss of live events by creating the NBA Bubble, plus Gretchen shares what she and the team are doing now to bring people back in. And finally, Gretchen shares how she maintains her work/life balance by knowing her glass balls from her rubber ones and gives some advice to upcoming athletes not to worry too much about getting internships and focus on their full-time job of college and competing. Episode Highlights: Gretchen's journey to competitive diving What being an athlete teaches you Succeeding in the sports industry Being a woman at the top of the NBA How the Rockets coped with COVID Quotes: “Some of our friends' kids are older, and they're really good athletes. And they're talking about this stuff at an age that I hadn't even started in the sport that I went to college on a scholarship for, that I was relatively decent at, at a time where parents these days are freaking out if their kids aren't even getting recruited.” “As an athlete, you hear that every single day, all day, every day, multiple times a day, that this wasn't good enough, that was bad, or this was good. So you learn how to take a compliment and recognize what you're doing well and make that even better. And you learn how to take negative feedback in a constructive way and correct yourself.” “You need to be prepared to take risks and to move if growing your career is the most important thing. Which I'm not saying that it is—everybody needs to live their own life and create their own path and not necessarily follow other people. And they're like, but you didn't leave. And I was like, I know, but I went into it knowing that I would likely have to at some point, it just didn't happen.” “In order to go to the next step, you have to sort of master what you're currently doing. And until you've mastered what you're currently doing, or at least shown that you have the commitment to master what you're currently doing, why would anyone want to talk to you about the next thing?” “Monday is high school orientation, that me, as an idiot, thought was Monday night. And today, I found out that it is not Monday night, it is at 8:30 on Monday morning. And so I had to cancel two meetings, and I had to reschedule them because I'm going to high school orientation with my kids. Like, that's a glass ball, not dropping it.” Pursuit of Gold Podcast is brought to you by Kaatsu Global Links: The Pursuit of Gold 1-on-1 Coaching with Laura The Confidence Journal Life at 10 Meters: Lessons from an Olympic Champion Laura's Social Media: Laura's Instagram Laura's Facebook Gretchen Sheirr: LinkedIn

Joining Laura on today's episode is professional high diver, CEO of the International High Diving Institute—America's first high-diving facility, and founder of the Clean Cliffs project, Ellie Smart. Their conversation begins with Ellie's journey from childhood dreams of diving at the Olympics to the tough realization that she wouldn't reach that standard and her decision to retire from diving during college. She shares the challenges of walking away from the sport that defined her, finding her worth outside of diving, and finally discovering her purpose in cliff diving. Ellie then discusses how she made the move into professional high diving, started competing, and eventually made it onto the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series as a permanent diver. Next, Ellie talks about her desire to keep challenging herself and working on new dives—including one partly inspired by Laura—so that she can continue unlocking her potential to the highest degree. She also speaks to how she and other cliff divers manage their fear, pointing out that fear can be a good thing physiologically, but only if we learn how to control it and use it in a healthy way. Ellie takes a moment to discuss the impact of social media and how she uses it as a tool while enforcing personal boundaries to ensure she avoids the urge to compare herself with others. Closing out the episode, Ellie reveals some of her pursuits when she's not diving herself, including creating the High Diving Institute at the Utah Olympic Park and co-founding Clean Cliffs, a project with the mission to prevent plastic pollution in the world's bodies of water. Episode Highlights: Walking away from and coming back to diving Learning to cliff dive and starting to compete Unlocking potential and managing fear Creating the International High Diving Institute Giving back with Clean Cliffs Quotes: “I wanted to represent Team USA, I wanted to go to the Olympics, and I would practice my gold medals speech in the shower every single night as a kid and my autograph. In class, I used to get in trouble all the time for practicing my autograph.” “The answer is always ‘no' if you never ask, so I would rather ask and get the answer ‘no' than not ask at all and maybe miss out on a really cool, incredible opportunity. So I definitely get embarrassed or shy or self-conscious sometimes when I have things that I really want to do, like, it's definitely not just easy. But I know that the reward of asking and what could come of it is so much better than not asking.” “It was also very humbling to realize that if I was going to keep diving, I needed to dive for me and not for the results or what it looked like from the outside to other people. Because there's always going to be something bigger and better and different that you can do if you're basing your life on decisions or opinions of other people.” “I really think comparison is just the absolute worst thing that you can do. And so, I try to eliminate that as much as possible from my everyday life. So you know, if any of my friends are listening to this, I love you, but I'm not going to watch your Instagram stories. You can tell me all about it in person.” “I think that that's the most exciting thing about life is we don't know, we get to figure it out as we go. And, you know, I used to have a different approach of, ‘I want to know the answer now. I want to know what I'm supposed to do.' And now I have this whole new mindset of, ‘I'm so excited to see what I can do versus what I'm supposed to do.'” Pursuit of Gold Podcast is brought to you by Kaatsu Global Links: The Pursuit of Gold 1-on-1 Coaching with Laura The Confidence Journal Life at 10 Meters: Lessons from an Olympic Champion Laura's Social Media: Laura's Instagram Laura's Facebook Ellie's Social Media: Ellie's Instagram
