The ALL ME® Podcast Shatterproof Mindset - Lauren Sisler October is Substance Abuse Prevention Month, and we're bringing you a special Bonus Episode of the ALL ME® Podcast. Join THF's Director of Marketing and Development, Amy Wagner, as she sits down with Lauren Sisler to share an inspiring conversation of resilience, awareness, and the importance of communication. Lauren Sisler is an Emmy Award-winning sports broadcaster, ESPN sideline reporter, author of Shatterproof, and keynote speaker known for her sideline shimmy. After landing her dream career with ESPN, reporting on college football and gymnastics, she began to open up about a story she once kept hidden: losing her parents to opioid addiction. Through sharing her story, she's been able to shed light on the stigma of addiction. Now, whether she's on the sidelines or on stages, her purpose lies in helping people tell (and love) their own stories, live more courageous, resilient lives, and find their own sideline shimmies. During this episode Lauren shares her journey from a gymnast to an ESPN sideline reporter, emphasizing the importance of embracing one's story, especially in the face of personal tragedy. She discusses the impact of her parents' deaths due to substance abuse and how it shaped her perspective on addiction and mental health. Lauren advocates for open communication and community support, encouraging others to find their own 'shatterproof' mindset. The conversation also touches on the pressures athletes face regarding body image and the importance of mental health awareness in sports. Takeaways · Everyone has a story worth sharing. · Falling in love with your story can empower you. · Personal tragedies can lead to greater understanding and empathy. · Communication is key in addressing substance abuse. · Mental health awareness is crucial in sports today. · We must support each other in our struggles. · Finding joy in difficult moments is essential. · Grace is important for ourselves and others. · We need to educate ourselves about addiction. · Embrace the journey and be where your feet are.

My sophomore year was full of ups and downs. I went into the year not knowing where to sit at lunch, and unsure of myself. I ended up going to Germany, quitting gymnastics, joining the cheer team, and becoming a track star. As all these amazing things happened, I spent more time with my teacher, science guy, which quickly became something more.  Key Takeaways:   [8:30] Going to gymnastics camp again and feeling harassed  [11:03] Gymnastics camp giving me a social life [12:36] My eventful first day of 10th grade as a cheerleader [13:58] Mr. Smith made such an impact on my life [17:07] Going to science guy's class and being humiliated  [19:34] Enjoying cheerleading, dances, getting drunk and in trouble [24:35] Quitting gymnastics and struggling with my asthma  [26:25] Keeping myself insanely busy and trying to find a new social group [28:39] Starting to spend time with science guy in his apartment [30:28] I struggle with boundaries and where lines can blur with teachers  [34:01] Making excuses to spend more and more time with science guy  [36:30] Going out for track because of science guy, but struggling with asthma  [41:24] Feeling like I fit in, becoming a track star, and getting popular  [45:57] Having sex for the first time at 15 and the trauma repeating in my life  [50:53] I recreated the abuse and trauma from when I was younger  Resources:   The Silence of Great Distance  The Body Keeps the Score Connect with Barb:   Website   Facebook    Instagram   Be a guest on the podcast    YouTube   The Molly B Foundation  

We're kicking off the third annual Coaches Corner series with none other than Jeff Graba, head coach of the Auburn Tigers.Last season, Auburn came in with one of the most highly anticipated freshman classes in the country and looked poised to make a strong run to nationals. Unfortunately, mid-season injuries to two key all-arounders — freshman Katelyn Jong and senior Olivia Hollingsworth — made for an uphill battle. Still, we were incredibly impressed with how the team stayed in the mix, pushing all the way to the final day of regionals with a real shot at advancing.This year, despite graduating some veteran talent, Auburn reloads with another standout freshman class and a roster full of athletes who now bring valuable competitive experience. They're shaping up to be a team to watch once again.Jeff joins us to preview the upcoming season, share what he's seeing in the gym so far, and give you a few tips on who you might want to keep an eye on for your Fantasy Gym draft!Thank you to our monthly Patreon supporters: Lee B, Cookiemaster, Christa, Happy Girl, Erica S, Semflam, Amy C, Maria L, Becca S, Cathleen R, Faith, Kerry M, M, Derek H, Martin, Sharon B, Randee B, MSU, Kimberly G, Robert H, Lela M, Mara L, Jenna A, Alex M, Mama T, Kelsey, Lidia, Maria P, Alicia O, Cristina K, Bethany J, Diane J, Kentiemac, Marni S, Betny T, Emily C, Cathy D, Lisa T, Libby C, Thiago, Taryn M, Dana B, Jamie S, Chuck C, Je_GL, Kaitlin, Susan P, Katertot, Mallory D, LFC_Hokie, Ella, Debbie, Megan F, Kay, Diane J, Julie B,, Austin K, Jane, Sarah, Amy, Stephen S, Johanna T, Alison S, Kristina T, Abigail W, Becky, Ola S, Jennifer K, Kate M, Claudia, Erin L, Sarah A, Kennedy B, Thomas B, Kihika N, Beth C, Amy, Renee PM, Ryan V, Brandon H, Tyler, Hayley B, Ben S, Kate & Landon, Danielle, ALittleUnderRotated, Dana C, Grace, Pat G , Lexi G, Laura N, Kathy, Katie A, Ruby B,, Róisín, Becca, Megan J, Emily D, Britton, Ry Shep, Reyna G, William A, MB, MJ L, Jackson G, Brittany A, Stella, Ulo F, Noah C, Melissa H, Alexis, William M, Trish, Susie, Leslie G, Catherine B, Karlin, Laura L, Katy S, J'nia G, Kathy M, Kathy S, Okcaro, Caroline P, JD B, Cookiecutter, Ailish D, Wil D, Caroline M, kcmojojojo, Sammy S, Fabio B, Kerry H, Ricardo A & Brandon!

Today's guest is Manuel Buitrago. Manuel is a PhD, along with being the founder and director of MaStrength, a global education brand dedicated to authentic Chinese weightlifting. Since launching MaStrength in 2014, he's taught 100+ seminars worldwide, authored Chinese Weightlifting: A Visual Guide to Technique and Chinese Weightlifting: Technical Mastery & Training There are many misconceptions in the world of strength training, especially as the lens of a skeletal pressure-based view is not included in modern training systems. When skeletal pressure dynamics are understood, it allows us to see why athletes prefer particular variations of lifts, how and why they fail lifts, and what aspects of the lifts themselves lead to better athletic outcomes. On today's episode, Manuel speaks on the practicalities of weightlifting and how it carries over to sport. He compares powerlifting and Olympic lifting from a technique and transfer standpoint, and gets into how body shapes, breathing, and set-ups affect a lift. Manuel also touches on connective tissue and why it matters for performance and durability. From this episode, you'll learn concepts about the Olympic and powerlifts that can not only improve lifting performance but also facilitate a better transfer to athleticism and movement ability.

(https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 0:20 – The Path to Chinese Weightlifting: A Journey from Gymnastics to Asia 9:30 – Breathing and Torso Shape are the Primary Differentiators Between Olympic and Powerlifting 25:01 – Weightlifting Squats are a Bottom-Up Movement, Distinct from Powerlifting 58:29 – Coaching the Olympic Lift Breath: Creating a "Funnel" for Upward Force 1:05:53 – Applying Shape Strategy to Different Athletes and Sports 1:24:49 – Direct Abdominal Work is Low Priority for Olympic Lifters Actionable takeaways 9:30 – Breathing and Torso Shape are the Primary Differentiators Between Olympic and Powerlifting Change your shape during the lift; successful Olympic lifting requires switching between shapes, not maintaining one position. To move up (the pull), create a "funnel" shape: narrow the lower torso (compressing the abs) and expand the upper torso (chest). To move down (the catch), change to a "cone" shape: narrow at the top and wider at the bottom, which enables faster descent. Avoid starting the lift with a powerlifting-style breath (squeezing the top and expanding the belly against a belt/creating a cone), as this impedes the upward movement necessary for Olympic lifts. 25:01 – Weightlifting Squats are a Bottom-Up Movement, Distinct from Powerlifting Recognize that the squat in weightlifting happens after the catch and is a bottom-up movement, which is fundamentally different from a powerlifting squat that starts from the top and descends. Squats performed from the rack (front or overhead) will look different from a heavy catch, as the catch is an unweighted descent followed by an immediate bottom-up drive. Focus on the funnel shape during the unrack and ascent of a weightlifting squat to maximize the upward gradient. 58:29 – Coaching the Olympic Lift Breath: Creating a "Funnel" for Upward Force From the start position, exhale and compress the abs until they feel tight, then maintain that tension. Inhale while maintaining ab compression, directing the air to fill and expand the chest and the mid-back area (between the shoulder blades) to create the full funnel shape. Do not take a maximum breath (gasping) as this removes space to move and can force the body into a rounded shape that is counterproductive for the lift.

All about gymnastics! We interview Dr. Elspeth Hart from Boston Children's on her latest article on Gymnastics Medicine and what to look out for when treating gymnasts in the orthopedic setting. We also highlight recent articles on the urgency of stable SCFE, a lesser-known method for pinning supracondylar humerus fractures, and short versus long leg casting for distal tibia physeal fractures. Your hosts are Tyler McDonald (University of South Alabama), and Stephanie Logterman (Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children), Josh Holt (University of Iowa), and Carter Clement (Manning Family Children's in New Orleans).

There is nothing more painful than hearing words that cut into your confidence. Maybe someone told you that you will never get that skill, or that you are not good enough, or that you are holding the team back. Even if you try to ignore it, those comments can sit in your mind and make you question yourself again and again.In this week's episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I want to help you and your gymnast handle those moments. Bullies can show up as teammates, as coaches, or even as the little voice inside your own head. And sometimes the inner bully is the hardest one to deal with because you cannot walk away from your own thoughts.Here is the good news. You do not have to let those voices decide who you are or what you are capable of. Professor Jaime Hamilton, a communication expert, shared a strategy that I love. Instead of arguing with a bully, you interrupt them with something completely unexpected. Imagine a teammate makes a mean comment and instead of shrinking or snapping back, you calmly say “pineapple pancakes” or “sparkly cinnamon roll” and then walk away. The bully is left with nothing to feed on, and the power of their words disappears.You can use this same trick with your inner bully. When that voice starts saying “I always mess up” or “I will never be good at this,” stop it in its tracks. Say your silly phrase out loud or in your head. Give yourself a little smile. Then replace the negative thought with something kinder like “I am learning” or “I am getting stronger every day.” This small shift makes a big difference because it trains your brain to stop beating you up and start lifting you up.Here is the truth. Confidence does not grow from criticism. It grows when you respond with kindness, when you choose not to give power to negative voices, and when you practice believing in yourself a little more each day.In this episode, I share:• The way hurtful words can crush confidence• Why the inner bully can be louder than anyone else• How Professor Jaime Hamilton's technique interrupts bullying• How you can reset negative thoughts and build yourself back up“If someone talked to you the way you talk to yourself, would they be your friend?” – Rebecca SmithLearn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!
