Chuck Bastie interviews skaters Amanda Kessel and Eric Radford, as they were eliminated last week on Battle Of The Blades. Amanda and Eric discuss their participation in the show, as well as the good fortune working with their charities, SickKids Foundation and AMANDA KESSEL is competing with Eric Radford. She is skating for SickKids Foundation. Wisconsin born Amanda Kessel has always been a natural at hockey. Coming from a sports-oriented family, there is no shortage of talent across the Kessel board. Her father was drafted into professional football, and her brothers, Phil and Blake, are also professional hockey players. Kessel played for four years at college level hockey, and helped her team win three national championships. In 2013 she was selected as the winner of the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award. Kessel has been on Team U.S.A. since 2008 and in the 2014 Sochi Olympics in Russia, she helped lead her team to a silver-medal win. Most recently, she helped her team win gold in PyeongChang, South Korea in 2018. Outside of hockey, she runs her own clothing line, AK28, with Gongshow Gear. She now devotes her time to supporting the growth and development of young women in hockey, and helping create opportunity for girls who have a dream of getting onto the ice. ERIC RADFORD is a Manitoba-born figure skater and a three-time Olympic games medalist and has won multiple other titles with his skating partner Meagan Duhamel. Radford is the only openly gay male to have won an Olympic Games gold medal. He is an advocate for the Canadian Olympic Committee's #OneTeam initiative, which supports LGBTQ inclusion and promotion in the sport. Inspired by skaters such as Kurt Browning in the early 1990's, Radford began skating at the age of eight. He moved away from home at the age of 14 to pursue his figure skating career, and hasn't looked back since. He is a back-to-back world champion (2015 and 2016) and in 2018, he and Duhamel became the first pair to successfully complete a quadruple throw jump at any Winter Olympic competition. Radford is competing with Amanda Kessel as his partner. He is skating for Egale — an organization dedicated to improving the lives of all LGBTQI2S people.

Today we're talking about "The Second Mark: Courage, Corruption, and the Battle for Olympic Gold" by Joy Goodwin.

If you want to see these pairs' programs from Salt Lake City 2002, we've got them right here: Salé & Pelletier - short: https://youtu.be/h_Zsq2uwND0 long program: https://youtu.be/BjY_LtNtVDc Berezhnaya & Sikhardulize - short: https://youtu.be/dAJUcgMZMO4 long program: https://youtu.be/E4S7c9s56A4 Shen & Zhao - short: https://youtu.be/FXZayW_DFYg long: https://youtu.be/iIdqjryYbQI Here's Berezhnaya & Sikhardulize's Chaplin program. And, for good measure, we've got some "Battle of the Blades" action -- both Jamie Salé and David Pelletier were on the show on "Battle of the Blades," which is coming back to TV this fall! Speaking of scandals, there's a new development in the Russian doping scandal, so we bring you up to speed on that and learn about an opportunity Jill could be uniquely qualified for. We also have some exciting updates on our Team Olympic Fever members Meagan Duhamel, Jacqueline Simoneau and Nick Cunningham. Our next Book Club book will be Shirley Babshoff's Making Waves: My Journey to Winning Olympic Gold and Defeating the East German Doping Program.

Because that is what you’re focusing on.Focusing on the task.Write guided scripts and record it in your own voice. Listening back to this was of huge help. It helped massively with keeping focus.Summary of questions with timings below.1min– Earliest memory – at the age of 3 at the golf driving range getting a whack from her sister!3min– Skating from the age of 3 – the family were all very much into the Ice rinks – Meagan was very much following her older sister onto the ice.5min –Competing against each other in the early years but to get to the elite level, Meagan wanted to move away from home to get this, her sister didn’t. This was the dividing line. This was the decision Meagan made at 14. It was set in her mind from 6 or 7 that the Olympics was her goal. Her dream!7min – where did the level of self-belief and determination of going to the Olympics8min -  Having crazy dreams without the talent at the highest level. It was her hard work and determination was the key driver. Getting advice from a skating judge that she could have the potential and from there, her parents put their faith into her career.10min– the belief was always coming from Meagan about her dream.11min– Skating & sport was her pure focus and drive12min – Sacrifices made at this time – moving away from home at 14! Living with different families and having to live 3 hours from home. This was expensive as is skating in general. Her parents both had two jobs.13min – Progression and growth trajectory over the next few years was steady but slow! In 2006, attend the national championships. As a single skater, she finished 4th. This was a huge setback. This was a big time for reflection.15min – Coming 4thwas a catalyst to drive her forward again. She then moved to Montreal and started to skate pairs.17min – Change from single to pair skating – this was a pretty smooth transition as Meagan was ready for a change and she embraced it. Dealing with the challenge of team work and having to be right even if you weren’t felling right.19mins – After skating with Craig for 3 years, they were focusing on Olympic qualification for the upcoming Olympics in Canada. Showing up at national they finished 3rd. Missing out again. This was a huge inflection point. It was a big moment for Meagan. However, a Coach, now Meagan’s Husband, believed in her and a new partner, Eric, as a team!22mins – Early challenges with Eric, her new partner. Learning to overcome these on timing, size, athleticism. After about a month, they realized that they, as a pair, could do jumps and throws that no other team could! Both were good single skaters, and this was their strategy. The Triple Lutz was a jump that set this pairing apart and this would lead to their success.26mins– 4 years of continued success as they built up to the winter Olympics in Sochi. Natural progression every year. Entered the Olympics, they thought this was their chance of winning. In the moment, Meagan was too focused on the result, instead of the personal goal. She felt she missed out on the great Olympic skate. A great performance.In Skating, you can’t control the result. You are handing over control to the judges. Going into the 2018 Olympics, this was the change in focus.29mins – Planning for the next Olympics. In fact, they started to plan day by day instead of a 4-year plan. Sick of living in this 4-year cycle. Now just putting one foot in front of the other.Learning the Throw Quad Salchow. Focus on this for 2 years.32mins– Fear of losing taking over. Still not sure they’d make it to the Olympics. This was the peak!! So, should they retire now in 2016. They had the great skate. So, another point of reflection needed. Meagan was regaining her motivation, Eric was losing his.34mins– Sport psychology – changing the mindset. Still at the low in 2017 as a team. Felt lost and just not in the right place. Enlisted the help of a mental trainer. Focus.35mins– Tools that were used to get the mindset in place.37mins – Winning Gold & Bronze medal – showed up in the best shape physically, mentally, and emotionally. Going in as underdogs. This made them feel very comfortable. Both of them felt so calm and relaxed. They skated and let everything flow.39mins– being able to turn off the brain during the skating and reaching a state flow. They felt this was coming. They had concerns what the judges were going to do.42mins– Becoming a Vegan – How this came about and how the transition happened.

1% Better with Meagan Duhamel Quote:'That part of my life is definitely complete' — Meagan Duhamel retires with 3 Olympic medals, 2 world titlesMeaghan is a 2 time world champ, 2018 Olympic Gold & Bronze Medallist, 7 time national champion, Vegan and so much more!One of the stand out parts from this interview was her mantra ‘What can I do today, to be better tomorrow?’ – this is what the 1% Better podcast is all about!During the individual pairs free skate at the 2018 Olympics, Duhamel and Radford became the first team to complete a quadruple throw jump at any Winter Olympic competition when she landed their throw quadruple Salchow.During our conversation, we touch on a lot. 1% Better Takeaways:Set your sight on a goal, do everything you can to achieve it.Be ready to sacrifice so much as nothing comes for free or easy!Hard work is keyBe open to changeDon’t get focused on the Result – focus on the improvement and personal best!!Set the big goal but work on the day to day.Bi in the moment.Focusing on being better every single day instead of a bigger goal.If you get scared to lose, that’s what you do. Because that is what you’re focusing on.Focusing on the task.Write guided scripts and record it in your own voice. Listening back to this was of huge help. It helped massively with keeping focus.Summary of questions with timings below.1min– Earliest memory – at the age of 3 at the golf driving range getting a whack from her sister!3min– Skating from the age of 3 – the family were all very much into the Ice rinks – Meagan was very much following her older sister onto the ice.5min –Competing against each other in the early years but to get to the elite level, Meagan wanted to move away from home to get this, her sister didn’t. This was the dividing line. This was the decision Meagan made at 14. It was set in her mind from 6 or 7 that the Olympics was her goal. Her dream!7min – where did the level of self-belief and determination of going to the Olympics8min -  Having crazy dreams without the talent at the highest level. It was her hard work and determination was the key driver. Getting advice from a skating judge that she could have the potential and from there, her parents put their faith into her career.10min– the belief was always coming from Meagan about her dream.11min– Skating & sport was her pure focus and drive12min – Sacrifices made at this time – moving away from home at 14! Living with different families and having to live 3 hours from home. This was expensive as is skating in general. Her parents both had two jobs.13min – Progression and growth trajectory over the next few years was steady but slow! In 2006, attend the national championships. As a single skater, she finished 4th. This was a huge setback. This was a big time for reflection.15min – Coming 4thwas a catalyst to drive her forward again. She then moved to Montreal and started to skate pairs.17min – Change from single to pair skating – this was a pretty smooth transition as Meagan was ready for a change and she embraced it. Dealing with the challenge of team work and having to be right even if you weren’t felling right.19mins – After skating with Craig for 3 years, they were focusing on Olympic qualification for the upcoming Olympics in Canada. Showing up at national they finished 3rd. Missing out again. This was a huge inflection point. It was a big moment for Meagan. However, a Coach, now Meagan’s Husband, believed in her and a new partner, Eric, as a team!22mins – Early challenges with Eric, her new partner. Learning to overcome these on timing, size, athleticism. After about a month, they realized that they, as a pair, could do jumps and throws that no other team could! Both were good single skaters, and this was their strategy. The Triple Lutz was a jump that set this pairing apart and this would lead to their success.26mins– 4 years of continued success as they built up to the winter Olympics in Sochi. Natural progression every year. Entered the Olympics, they thought this was their chance of winning. In the moment, Meagan was too focused on the result, instead of the personal goal. She felt she missed out on the great Olympic skate. A great performance.In Skating, you can’t control the result. You are handing over control to the judges. Going into the 2018 Olympics, this was the change in focus.29mins – Planning for the next Olympics. In fact, they started to plan day by day instead of a 4-year plan. Sick of living in this 4-year cycle. Now just putting one foot in front of the other.Learning the Throw Quad Salchow. Focus on this for 2 years.32mins– Fear of losing taking over. Still not sure they’d make it to the Olympics. This was the peak!! So, should they retire now in 2016. They had the great skate. So, another point of reflection needed. Meagan was regaining her motivation, Eric was losing his.34mins– Sport psychology – changing the mindset. Still at the low in 2017 as a team. Felt lost and just not in the right place. Enlisted the help of a mental trainer. Focus.35mins– Tools that were used to get the mindset in place.37mins – Winning Gold & Bronze medal – showed up in the best shape physically, mentally, and emotionally. Going in as underdogs. This made them feel very comfortable. Both of them felt so calm and relaxed. They skated and let everything flow.39mins– being able to turn off the brain during the skating and reaching a state flow. They felt this was coming. They had concerns what the judges were going to do.42mins– Becoming a Vegan – How this came about and how the transition happened. Again, being very focused and made this as a career.45mins – The future in coaching and health and wellness.Phrase: Is there a saying / phrase to live by? --- Enjoy the journey, not the destinationBook:MindGym – Gary Mack - https://amzn.to/2N5NQ9kSoulMates on Ice – Meagan and Eric’s book out in the fall - https://amzn.to/2opSDogConnect with MeaganLutzofgreens.comTwitter - https://twitter.com/mhjd_85

Defender Radio: The Podcast for Wildlife Advocates and Animal Lovers

Shock collars are inherently inhumane and potentially traumatizing devices used to illicit specific reactions from dogs. For a long time, their use was supported by trainers and veterinarians. But science and the massive combined experience of top trainers have shown them for what they really are – and revealed more effective, humane methods of training. The Ban Shock Collars movement was introduced to you in an episode last season, but there are some pretty exciting updates to share – not the least of which is that their ePetition is the first to be formally recognized in Canadian history. Any Canadian resident can sign this petition and you just need to follow the links on this week’s blog or hit up banshockcollars.ca to find it. The group has also gained the support of Olympic figure skater Meagan Duhamel and iconic Canadian environmentalist and activist David Suzuki. On this week’s episode, we’re talking with Ban Shock Collars.ca spokesperson Lucas Solowey about the movement, the petition, and why Canadians need to get involved. We’re also hearing from renowned dog behavior expert, trainer, and best-selling author Jean Donaldson, about the pitfalls of shock collars and what alternatives exist.
