Parkiranje je za marsikoga jutranja rutina. Rutina, ki je lahko preprosta, lahko pa zahteva pravi logistično-načrtovalni podvig in dobre živce. Kaj vpliva na to, kje parkirate svoje vozilo? Recimo, ko greste v nakupovalno središče? Parkirate raje bolj stran, kjer ni gneče, da na avtomobilu ne ostane kakšen spominek sosedovih vrat, ali pa parkirno mesto poiščete ob vozilih, ki so že tam? No, včasih izbire niti ni veliko in takrat je odločitev lažja, parkiraš tam, kjer lahko. V Možganih na dlani smo dobili vprašanje poslušalca, ki ga je zanimalo prav to – zdi se mu, pravi, da ljudje parkirajo avtomobile “na kupu”, čeprav je parkirišče prazno. Z odgovorom pomaga prof. Greg Marsden, ki raziskuje in predava na Inštitutu za študije o transportu na Univerzi v Leedsu. Za dobro jutro, pravi, mu ni bilo treba parkirati. Pripravlja: Mojca Delač.

With COVID-19 lockdowns, quarantine requirements, and work from home arrangements still prevalent, how will the pandemic impact the future of public transport and what lessons can policy makers in Asia learn from global experiences within the sector?

He details COVID-19 era working pattern shifts, commuter behavior, and the implications for the economics of public transport and public policy, including key takeaways for Asia's cities.

*Listen in as Positive Coaching Alliance goes 1-on-1 in interviews with top pro and college players, coaches, executives, and other major sports figures and academics who provide tips, tools, information and inspiration for youth and high school sports coaches, parents and student-athletes.* This 1-on-1 interview features Lisa Mitzel ([@heymitz](https://twitter.com/heymitz)), a former NCAA Gymnast from the University of Utah, NCAA Gymnast Coach, and Author of *Focused And Inspired: Keeping Our Athletes Safe in a Win-At-All-Costs World*. As an author, speaker, and mental training coach, she focuses on growth mindset and how a coach and/or parent can acknowledge and train their athlete to deliver their best both mentally and physically. Jim Thompson ([@JimThompson18](https://twitter.com/JimThompson18)), Founder of PCA, speaks with Lisa Mitzel about her inspiration behind mental training, and her latest book, *Focused And Inspired: Keeping Our Athletes Safe in a Win-At-All-Costs World*. She begins by sharing how her former coach Greg Marsden and sports psychologists stimulated her mental training as an athlete, and later on, as a coach and parent. This foundation transitions into her discussion about Focused and Inspired while diving deeper into the key themes about vulnerability and safety. More insights from this podcast to look forward to include: - Authentic Human Connection - how coaches connect with their athletes - Aspiring to be an “Elevater” - “Sports is Messy” - how to demonstrate vulnerability and deal with the distractions and struggles of performing as an athlete - Her inspiration from Michael Phelps’ videos on mental training and visualization - Safety - Emotional Intelligence and Emotional Awareness Like what you hear?

This episode has been commissioned by Club Gym Nerd member Kerry, who requested an episode all about the 1993 NCAA Nationals, saying “This was the first NCAAs I ever watched as a kid growing up in Georgia, so this obviously got me hooked!” Setting the scene - what was college gymnastics like in the ancient year of 1993?
