The lines between physical and digital reality are increasingly blurred, especially for children. Today's conversation between John and his daughter Laura, reminds us that spiritual formation and family life are happening at the same time. Often in the midst of unprecedented technological change. The challenge, then, is not to fear technology but to become wise in how we use it, especially when it comes to guiding the next generation. We need parents, mentors, and spiritual friends, who are willing to help young people stay grounded in the real world—where eye contact, touch, boredom, and community shape our souls far more deeply than curated images or trending videos.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

0:30 -Quickfire Questions with Laura Turner-AlleyneLaura Turner-Alleyne reflected on her childhood memory of the Barcelona Olympics, which was significant for her as it was the first Olympics she watched on TV. She noted that Linford Christie and Sally Gunnell were standout figures from those games, and she had the unique experience of being coached by Linford later in her athletic career. Laura described Linford as a positive influence and a welcoming presence in her training environment.3:31 -Recent Athletic Achievements at Gotsis CompetitionLaura Turner-Alleyne discussed her recent experience at the Gotsis competition, where she supported American athlete Anna Hall. Hall delivered an outstanding performance, scoring the second-best heptathlon score in history and finishing the 800 meters in an impressive 2:01. Laura noted the significance of this achievement, especially considering the physical demands of the heptathlon.5:11 Insights on Athletic Development and Coaching StrategiesLaura Turner-Alleyne shared her journey from being a sprinter for Great Britain to coaching, including her involvement in the Futures Relay Programme. She explained the rigorous selection process for young athletes, which considers performance data and their training environment. Additionally, Laura highlighted the role of talent hubs across the UK in offering support to athletes, ensuring they have access to necessary resources without needing to centralize training.18:49 -Team Dynamics in Competitive AthleticsMichael Wright asked Laura Turner-Alleyne about the common traits that indicate athletic potential, especially for heptathlon. Laura discussed her experiences with athletes transitioning from middle-distance running and sprinting to heptathlon, highlighting the significance of competitive mindset and genetic factors in speed. She noted that while speed is trainable, there are inherent limits based on genetics.28:11 - Managing Team Dynamics in Relay TeamsLaura Turner-Alleyne shares insights from her experience as a sprinter to guide the GB four by one teams. She highlights the significance of establishing a shared goal, such as winning a gold medal, to create team buy-in. Additionally, she addresses the challenge of managing athletes' egos, particularly when it comes to role assignments in relay races.33:18 -Preparing Athletes for High-Stakes CompetitionsMichael Wright raises the issue of how to prepare athletes for high-stakes competitions, particularly in track and field. Laura Turner-Alleyne explains that many successful athletes have overcome significant challenges, which helps build their resilience. She warns that those who have had an easy path may struggle when faced with adversity, and suggests creating challenges for them through selective competition experiences.37:39 -Managing Athlete Mindset in Competitive EventsMichael Wright raises concerns about how to manage athletes' expectations when they are unlikely to win a race. Laura Turner-Alleyne explains that sprinters must believe they can win, and she advocates for rational discussions post-race to focus on performance rather than outcomes. She suggests using a framework of identifying what went well and what could be improved, emphasizing the importance of controlling the aspects within their reach.43:13 - Strategies for Supporting Athletes with Training LimitationsMichael Wright raises concerns about athletes who are undercooked due to injuries and how to set appropriate goals for them. Laura Turner-Alleyne explains the concept of "racing into shape" and stresses the importance of clear communication with athletes about their readiness and realistic competition goals. She highlights that the relationship between coach and athlete is crucial for performance and confidence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
