Podcasts about Pita Taufatofua

This month's Deep Dive series is all about helping our kids through hardships like making mistakes, getting rejected, and facing competition. Listen to the whole playlist on Spotify. Does competition have benefits? What level of competition is healthy for our kids? Many of us agree that the stereotypical dad yelling through the fence at T-Ball is taking things a little too seriously. But others say that participation trophies teach our kids to be lazy and therefore represent the ultimate downfall of our civilization. How do we balance the eye of the tiger with just letting our kids play? In this episode we get to the bottom of why some people are more competitive than others, what the right age is for kids to start learning the lessons of losing, and how competition (when it's done right) can actually teach cooperation and self-regulation. Here are links to some writing on the topic that we discuss in this episode: 'Shirtless Tongan' Pita Taufatofua makes Olympic history Evolution of competitiveness: Scientists explain diversity in competitiveness Byron Heath on Kerri Strug We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

Sharing his love of the Olympics and Paralympics is the BBC's Nick Hope. THis week Nick won an award from the Sports Journalist Association for his work.

And it's great top hear Nick talk about his collections. Nick talks about two stories in particular. The 'topless Tongan' Pita Taufatofua, the taekwondo fighter turned cross-country skier in a country that never sees snow. And Michael Gunning, who describes himself as the black, gay swimmer who wants to be the Usain Bolt of the pool. Thanks for all your support for this podcast. I'd love you to give me a follow.
