Podcasts about Practice

Dr. David Eagleman, PhD, is a neuroscientist, bestselling author and professor at Stanford University. We discuss how to leverage the science of neuroplasticity to learn new skills and information and how accurate and false memories form and are forgotten. We also discuss time perception and why it speeds up or slows down depending on our age and stress level. We cover dreaming and the meaning of visual and other dream content. And we discuss the neuroscience of cultural and political polarization and how to remedy it. This episode provides science-based knowledge and practical tools you can use to enhance learning and better understand your experience of life in the past, present and future.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Brad Stulberg is a bestselling author and leading expert on sustainable performance and well-being. He's written for The New York Times, Outside Magazine, and The Atlantic, and his previous books include Peak Performance and The Practice of Groundedness. His latest book, The Way of Excellence, is great. Brad's writing combines cutting-edge science, ancient wisdom, and stories from world-class performers to help people do their best work without losing themselves in the process. Notes: Never pre-judge a performance. When you're feeling tired, uninspired, or off your game, show up anyway. Remember the Beatles scene—they looked bored and exhausted, but Paul still wrote "Get Back" that day. You don't know what's possible until you get going. Discipline means doing what needs to be done regardless of how you feel. As powerlifter Layne Norton says, we don't need to feel good to get going... We need to get going to give ourselves a chance to feel good. Stop waiting for motivation. Start moving and let the feeling follow. Audit who you're surrounding yourself with. The Air Force study is striking: the least fit person in your squadron determines everyone else's fitness level. If you sit within 25 feet of a high performer at work, your performance improves 15%. Within 25 feet of a low performer? It declines 30%. Your environment isn't neutral... Choose wisely. Treat curiosity like a muscle. It's a reward-based behavior that gets stronger with use. When Kobe said he played "to figure things out," he was tapping into the neural circuitry that makes learning feel good and builds upon itself. Ask more questions. Stay curious about your craft. Excellence isn't about perfection or optimization... It's about mastery and mattering. It's about showing up consistently, surrounding yourself wisely, and staying curious along the way. To the late Robert Pirsig - one of the greatest blessings and joys and sources of satisfaction in my life is to be in conversation with your work. He's the author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance— "gumption is the psychic gasoline that keeps the whole thing going." Arrogant people are loud. Confident people are quiet. Confidence requires evidence. The neural circuitry associated with curiosity is like a muscle: it gets stronger with use. Curiosity is what neuroscientists call a reward-based behavior. It feels good, motivates us to keep going, and builds upon itself. Kobe didn't play to win. He played to learn and grow. Kobe Bryant said he didn't play not to lose, and he didn't even play to win. He played to learn and to grow. He said the reason he did that is because it's so much more freeing. If you're really trying not to lose, you're going to be tight. If you're really trying to win, you're going to be tight. But if you're just out there to grow, you're going to be in the moment. When you're in the moment, you give yourself the best chance of having the performance you want. The word compete comes from the Latin root word com, which means together, and petere, which means to seek, rise up, or strive. In its most genuine form, competition is about rising together (Caitlin Clark's story against LSU). Love: The Detroit Lions had just won their first playoff game in 32 years. Following the game was a scene of pure jubilation. During a short break from the celebrating, the head coach, GM, and quarterback all gave brief speeches. Which collectively lasted about 2 minutes. During those 2 minutes, the word LOVE was repeated 7 times. Homeostatic regulation -- Sense it in the greatness of others and when you're at your best. What Brad calls "excellence." Surround yourself with people who have high standards. When things don't go your way, when you're inevitably heartbroken or frustrated, it's the people around you, the books you read, the art around you, the music you listen to, that's the stuff that speaks to you and keeps you going. It keeps you on the path even amidst the heartbreak. Process goals work better than outcome goals for most people. If you're an amateur, you should be process-focused. When I train for powerlifting, I don't think about the meet that I'm training for. I think about showing up for the session today. If I think about the meeting, I get anxious, and my performance goes down. But if you're Steph Curry and you've been doing your thing for 20 years, you can think about winning the gold medal because your process is so automatic. For 99% of people, focus on the process. "Brave New World" turns fear into curiosity. When you walk up to a bar loaded with more weight than you've ever touched, there can be fear about what it's going to feel like. If you go up to the bar with fear, you're going to miss the lift. If you're convinced you're going to make it, you'll make it, but your nervous system knows when you're lying to yourself. The middle ground is curiosity. Instead of saying "that's heavy, it's scary," I say "Brave New World. I've never touched this weight before. I have no idea what's going to happen, but let's find out." It splits the difference. I'm hyped, I'm giving myself a chance, I'm not lying to myself, but I'm also not scared. Curiosity and fear cannot exist at the same time in the brain. There are seven pathways in the brain defined by affective neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp. Two of those pathways are the rage/fear pathway and the seeking/curiosity pathway. These pathways cannot be turned on at the same time. They compete for resources. It's a zero sum game. You cannot simultaneously be raging and curious. You cannot be terrified and curious at the same time. If you get into a mindset of curiosity, it's extremely hard to be angry or terrified. By being curious, we turn off the fear deep in our brains and give ourselves a chance to perform our best. Practice curiosity in lower-consequence situations first. Curiosity is like a muscle. If you're about to do something absolutely terrifying and you're really scared and you say, "I'm just going to be curious," you know you're lying to yourself. You have to practice in lower-consequence situations first. When you, as a paren,t get really upset with your kid, try to be curious about their experience. Watch your anger calm down. When you as a leader, have a board presentation where you're feeling anxious, try to have that mindset of "Brave New World." When you're an athlete going into a big game obsessing about what could go wrong, try to be really curious instead. The best competitors have emotional flexibility. As a competitor, you would know that in the confines of the game, you're not singing Kumbaya, you are trying to kill them. Then you have the emotional flexibility the minute that game ends to respect them as a person. That is the best way to compete. That's when our best performances happen. It's not either/or, it's both/and. It's playing really hard, giving everything you can for the win, seizing on your opponent's vulnerability, at the same time as having deep respect for them. You don't have to be miserable to be excellent. There are people like David Goggins or Michael Jordan who seem motivated by anger and a chip on their shoulder. But Jordan would put his tongue out like this primal expression of joy when he was about to dunk. And Jordan won all his championships while being coached by Phil Jackson, the Zen master of compassion. There are the Steph Currys of the world, or Courtney Dauwalter (best ultra marathoner to ever exist), or Albert Einstein (total mystic who had so much fun in his work). There are two ways to the top of the mountain. For 99.999% of people, you end up performing better with fun and joy, and you have so much more satisfaction, which contributes to longevity. The best leaders take work seriously but laugh at themselves. The best leaders I know in the corporate world, they take the work so seriously. They are so intense. But my God, do they laugh at themselves and their colleagues and have fun. Reflection Questions Brad says, "The things that break your heart are the things that fill your life with meaning." What are you currently holding back from caring deeply about because you're afraid of getting hurt? What would it look like to step fully into that arena despite the risk of heartbreak? The Air Force study showed that sitting within 25 feet of a low performer decreases your performance by 30%. Honestly assess who you're spending the most time with right now. Are they raising your standards or lowering them? What specific change could you make this month to shift your environment? Brad uses "Brave New World" to turn fear into curiosity before big challenges. Think of something coming up that makes you anxious. Instead of trying to convince yourself you'll succeed or dwelling on the fear, what does it feel like to approach it with pure curiosity: "I've never done this before. Let's find out what happens."

Let's learn the Spanish verb Existir, which means "to exist", Extrañar, which means "to miss", and Soñar, which means "to dream". We'll practice all three verbs in all of their most common forms and uses. Practice all of today's Spanish for free at LCSPodcast.com/241.

Colette Jane Fehr a marriage counselor, EMDR therapist, and author of "The Cost of Quiet." With over two decades of experience helping individuals and couples navigate relationship challenges, Colette specializes in teaching people how to communicate vulnerably and assertively in their most important relationships.  Episode Overview  In this powerful conversation, Dr. Debi Silber sits down with therapist and author Colette Fehr to explore why speaking up in relationships is essential for healing, growth, and genuine connection—especially after betrayal. Colette shares her personal journey from childhood trauma to relationship betrayal, and how these experiences shaped her understanding of healthy communication and the devastating cost of staying quiet.  Key Topics Discussed  The Origins of Conflict Avoidance  How childhood experiences with parental conflict shape our relationship patterns  The difference between destructive conflict (screaming, fighting) and constructive conflict (honest, vulnerable communication)  Why some people mistake silence and "keeping the peace" for relationship health  The concept of parentification and how it impacts adult relationships  Understanding "The Cost of Quiet"  Quiet as a euphemism for conflict avoidance  Different forms of conflict avoidance that people don't recognize:  Self-silencing and sweeping things under the rug  Criticism disguised as "expressing feelings"  Bickering about surface issues instead of deeper needs  Why avoiding vulnerability doesn't actually protect you from pain  The Four Bad Communication Report Card Responses (The Four D's and an F)  Dismissiveness - "It's no big deal, why are you so upset?"  Defensiveness - Getting reactive instead of receptive  Distancing - Shutting down, stonewalling, pulling away  Fixing - Problem-solving instead of listening and connecting  Vulnerability as Strength  Why vulnerability is actually the strongest choice you can make  How to build the courage to be vulnerable after betrayal  Connecting with your inner child before difficult conversations  The only way through fear is action—building the vulnerability muscle  Self-Connected Communication  The importance of I-statements over you-statements  Connecting to deeper emotional needs beyond surface complaints  Speaking from your "core sage self" (wise, loving adult) rather than reactive parts  The distinction between being nice (self-abandoning) and being kind (self-honoring)  When to Speak Up  Why waiting longer than 24 hours allows resentment to grow  Common excuses that keep us from addressing issues (wrong time, they're tired, etc.)  Most conversations don't need to be long—short, clear, vulnerable statements work best  You can't control your partner's response, but you can control showing up for yourself  Building the Assertiveness Muscle  Why successful women often struggle with assertiveness in intimate relationships  Starting small with low-stakes vulnerable moments  The confidence boost that comes from speaking your truth  How assertiveness differs from aggressiveness  The Meta-Conversation Strategy When your partner repeatedly responds poorly to vulnerability: "I notice that I try to bring up things and share my feelings. I'm taking great effort to say things in a way that's tactful and diplomatic, but honest, and it seems like when I do, I get a defensive or dismissive response. I don't really know where to go from here. Have you noticed that? What's going on with you? Are you willing to work on this with me?"  Signs It's Working  Reduction in fear when bringing up difficult topics  Growing confidence in expressing yourself  Your partner responding with openness rather than defensiveness  Feeling closer and more connected after vulnerable conversations  Even if they don't respond well—you're getting information faster and can make empowered choices  After Betrayal: Special Considerations  Why vulnerability feels especially terrifying after intimate partner betrayal  The connection to Stage 3 of the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough (doing the same thing expecting different results)  How moving into Stages 4 and 5 requires having uncomfortable conversations  Being vulnerable doesn't guarantee you won't get hurt, but not being vulnerable guarantees disconnection  Vulnerability helps you discover more quickly what a relationship will or won't give you  Powerful Quotes from the Episode  "Being in a relationship is inherently unsafe. It is a risk. But if you're willing to be vulnerable, you're going to find out more quickly what a relationship will and will not give you, and you can make choices that empower and serve your needs."  "It's actually not about the coffee cup. It's about the fact that lately I feel like I'm communicating with you and you're not hearing me, and that makes me feel inside—my vulnerable part feels like I'm not important to you."  "You've got to speak up no matter what. I don't care how you were raised, what part of the country, what your personality was, who your partner is. This is something you do for you."  "Vulnerability is strength, but it is very, very scary. We could be rejected or abandoned. But the only way through fear is by doing—action in the face of fear is what develops the muscle."  "If your partner is repeatedly not listening, being dismissive, being defensive, then maybe that tells you something about, 'Do I want to invest in this relationship?' But if you're not being vulnerable and clear, then you're contributing to what's not working."  "The point of feelings, the point of emotion, is that they're information processing signals that point us to our needs."  "If you're going to bother to try to improve this relationship, we can't have anything better based on just fear of even speaking up."  Colette's Personal Journey  Childhood Experience:  Idyllic childhood until age 10 when parents' marriage began deteriorating  Parents (lawyer mother, doctor father) engaged in epic daily fighting  Dealt with parental infidelity and eventual divorce  Became parentified—taking on emotional mediator role inappropriate for her age  Made meaning that she had to rely on herself because adults couldn't care for her properly  Rebelled against Catholic school environment as a way of coping  First Marriage:  Married someone from a conflict-avoidant Southern family  Partner was emotionally unavailable and disconnected  When she tried to express feelings, received dismissive, defensive, or distancing responses  Learned to silence herself to "keep the peace"  Marriage failed after having children, leading her to return to graduate school  Path to Her Work:  Bad experience in marriage counseling inspired her to become a marriage counselor  Spent 11 years between marriages dating and experiencing significant betrayals  Been cheated on by two partners in ways that "gutted" her  Now in second marriage of 9 years (together 12 years)  Uses EMDR therapy in her practice  Wrote "The Cost of Quiet" to provide a preventative roadmap for others  Practical Takeaways  Connect with your inner child before vulnerable conversations - Acknowledge the fear, reassure yourself you've got your own back no matter the outcome  Use the template for vulnerable communication:  Start small with low-stakes topics  Use I-statements, not you-statements  Speak to deeper needs, not just surface complaints  Be specific about what you need  Address issues within 24 hours - Don't let resentment build by waiting for the "perfect time"  Watch for your own conflict avoidance patterns:  Are you criticizing instead of being vulnerable?  Are you bickering about surface issues?  Are you staying silent to keep the peace?  Remember: Vulnerability invites vulnerability - When you show up authentically, you often get authenticity back  Let go of trying to control your partner's response - You can't manage how they'll react, but you can show up for yourself  Apply this skill everywhere - Practice assertive, vulnerable communication in all relationships, not just romantic ones  Resources  Connect with Colette Fehr:  Website: ColetteFehr.com   Instagram: @ColetteJaneFehr  TikTok: @ColetteJaneFehr  Book: "The Cost of Quiet" (available on her website and wherever books are sold)  Podcasts:  "Insights from the Couch" (for women at midlife)  "Love Thy Neighbor" (all about relationships)  For Post Betrayal Syndrome® Recovery:  Learn more about the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™  Visit The PBT Institute for resources on healing from betrayal and becoming a Certified PBT Coach or Practitioner  Episode Themes  #Communication #VulnerabilityIsStrength #BetrayalRecovery #HealthyRelationships #ConflictResolution #EmotionalIntelligence #Assertiveness #InnerChildWork #RelationshipHealing #SelfAdvocacy #TheCostOfQuiet 

What if your previous career—completely unrelated to therapy—held the exact keys you needed to unlock a successful private practice? For Denise Smith, running an auto body shop taught her the administrative, financial, and client-relations skills that gave her the confidence to launch Speak Up Speech Therapy in Southern California.Denise is a speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of experience whose journey to private practice was anything but linear. Born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, she discovered the field almost by accident when university programs reopened after war. What began as a curious joke with friends became a lifelong calling after she moved to the United States.Denise is also the co-host of the Heal Yourself Podcast, where she and her co-host lead powerful conversations on self-healing, emotional mastery, and elevating your relationship with yourself from the inside out.After years as a school-based SLP, Denise never saw herself as a business owner. But a pivotal stint managing her then-husband's auto shop—handling scheduling, insurance claims, invoices, and client complaints—became her unexpected training ground. She looked in the mirror and realized, “Why am I not doing this for me?”Her turning point came on a walk past a neighbor's house—a neighbor who happened to be a special education coordinator. Denise asked how to get on the list for Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs). That simple question started a domino effect: her first contract led to school referrals, which gave her the foundation to build a practice intentionally designed around her life, not the other way around.With a focus on school contracts, IEEs, and private clients, Denise has created what she calls a “lifestyle practice.” It's a model built on freedom and flexibility, allowing her to heal her nervous system, prioritize her daughter's competitive dance schedule, and travel—all while serving a population she loves.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How running an auto shop gave her the unexpected confidence to start her own practiceWhy she ditched perfection and chose progress with purposeWhat it's like to build a mobile, flexible “lifestyle” practice while navigating divorce and deep personal healingHow she makes income from school contracts, private pay clients, and independent evaluations — without burning outDenise's story is a powerful reminder that your path to private practice doesn't have to look traditional. By trusting her unique journey and leveraging all of her experiences, she designed a business that supports her life, family, and well-being first.Ready to explore what a lifestyle practice could look like for you? Whether you're just starting to consider private practice or looking to grow an existing one, the right guidance can help you build the freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment you deserve — just like Denise has.

In this episode of The Untethered Podcast, Hallie Bulkin sits down with Kelly Wenger to explore the evolution of a pediatric feeding clinician. Kelly shares her raw and relatable journey—from the initial overwhelm of entering private practice as a new mother to finding her voice as a confident feeding specialist.The conversation dives deep into the "confidence gap" many clinicians face when dealing with complex feeding cases. Kelly discusses how shifting to an integrative approach and moving therapy into the home environment has not only improved patient outcomes but has also allowed for a more profound connection with parents. Whether you are a clinician looking to level up your skills or a business owner wanting to build a stronger referral network, this episode offers a roadmap for professional and personal growth.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:✔️ The Confidence Catalyst: How specialized training like Feed the Peds transforms clinical uncertainty into expert action. ✔️ The In-Home Advantage: Why the home environment is the "secret sauce" for the generalization of feeding skills. ✔️ Integrative Thinking: How to look at a child holistically to address multiple developmental needs simultaneously. ✔️ Building Your Network: Strategies for creating a robust referral circle that supports your practice growth. ✔️ Empowering Parents: Navigating the shift in parental awareness and how to effectively educate caregivers on their child's needs. ✔️ The Ripple Effect: Understanding how one clinician's education creates a wave of positive impact across an entire community.Join me for this free 3-day training, where I'll show you how to screen feeding cases clearly, confidently, and with intention — so you know exactly what to do next.

Most physicians are trained to manage what's in front of them.What we're rarely taught is how to step far enough back to ask whether the direction itself still makes sense.In this January Reset re-air, I'm bringing back my conversation with Dr. Neal Douglas, a family medicine physician at Heritage Family Medicine in Hood River, Oregon.Dr. Douglas shares openly about building a successful career that slowly drifted out of alignment with his life, his family, and his values. His story isn't about optimizing productivity — it's about reordering priorities and designing a practice that supports the life he wants to be present for.You'll hear how creating a clear priority list reshaped not just his work, but his sense of fulfillment and sustainability as a physician.

Jason Miller - As we face the world with all of its pain, fear, and violence, we might feel some common ground with the disciples of Jesus who find themselves in dangerous waters. The Gospel of John, with its interest not merely in the events of Jesus' life, but the meaning of Jesus' life, invites us to a practice of the presence of God that can help us bring peace to others.

Many chiropractors don’t realise they’ve become the bottleneck in their own practice. Not because they want control —but because being needed feels validating, responsible, and safe. In this episode, we explore The CEO Transition — the leadership shift that helps chiropractors stop being the bottleneck without losing care, trust, or standards. You’ll learn how dependency quietly forms, why letting go feels harder than it should, and why forcing delegation often backfires. If your practice feels like it can’t function without you, this episode will help you understand why — and show you a calmer way forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Triumphal Entry - 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 17 (John 12:1-19) by Shawn Ozbun

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Dr. Bob Rich for a real conversation about grief, suffering, and the choices we make when life breaks open. This episode is for anyone navigating loss, big change, or emotional pain and wondering how to keep going without forcing a “growth story.” You will hear practical ways to build self-respect, respond to anger with intention, and find meaning at your own pace. About the Guest: Dr. Bob Rich is a retired psychotherapist and author based in Halesville, Victoria. He has written The Hole in Your Life: Grief and Bereavement and shares resources through his blog, “Bobbing Around.” Key Takeaways: Treat setbacks as learning opportunities: ask “What can I learn from this?” Build a pause habit for anger: breathe, count, then respond. Let grief be wider than death: job loss, illness, divorce, and change also count. Turn love into action: create something that helps others when they hurt. Practice self-respect first, especially when self-judgment spirals.

“Real change is built through what you practice, not what you promise.”

On January 22, the Detroit Lions Podcast paused to salute Dan Skipper. The veteran offensive lineman hung up his cleats today. A remote episode, a rough travel day, and a clear purpose. Honor a singular NFL story. Dan Skipper Calls It a Career Skipper retires after battling health problems. Back issues. Knee issues. Foot issues. He fought through all of it and kept showing up for the Detroit Lions. His transaction log tells the tale. Sixty-six official NFL transactions. Fifty-seven with the Lions since 2019. He had a brief stint in Houston and an earlier dalliance with the Cowboys, but Detroit was home. He was the tallest player in the NFL at a legit 6-9 and around 330. Not quite athletic enough to lock down tackle. Too upright to be a full-time guard. Yet he stayed valuable. Practice squad, elevations, special teams, spot duty. He bridged some bad Lions teams to the best Lions teams in recent memory. He maximized his career and never lost the room. Sixth Lineman, Third Tight End, Fan Favorite Skipper carved out a niche as the sixth lineman and extra tackle. In 2025, he logged 228 offensive snaps. Eighty of those came as a third tight end in heavy packages. The Lions led the NFL in using a sixth lineman in three of the last four seasons, and Skipper was almost always that piece. He was eligible. They even threw him the ball. It worked. The appeal went beyond snaps. Training camp showed the person. A giant who signed for kids. Jovial and patient. His own kids ran around and tackled dad after practice. Fans noticed. Teammates noticed. That energy made him a Detroit Lions favorite. The 2017 Wright Game Punt Moment The origin story includes the 2017 Wright game in Saint Pete. Practice moved outside on a grass field. Skipper dominated drills that day. Coaches set a challenge to juice the session. The other side picked a player to field a punt. If he caught it clean, practice ended and the offense won. They chose Skipper. The punt was not easy. He secured it. Practice over. Offense got the win. It was a perfect snapshot of focus under pressure and why people gravitated to him. What Comes Next Skipper retires for medical reasons and moves straight into coaching. He will coach tight ends and the offensive line at the Wright game this week. That fits his path. Detroit Lions fans will miss him at camp, but his influence carries on. Sixty-six moves. One city that kept calling. A career that mattered. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #danskipper #nfltransactions #sixthlineman #extratackle #thirdtightend #fieldedapunt #2017wrightgame #specialteams #backissue #kneeissue #footissues #cowboys #houston Learn more about your ad choices.

The Plot to Kill Jesus - 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 16 (John 11:45-57) by Shawn Ozbun

(Repeat episode) - SEASON 11 Coming SoonMy website My Instagram

https://teachhoops.com/ Making practice better starts with the elimination of "dead time" and a transition toward a high-engagement, high-intensity workflow. In many traditional settings, players spend far too much time standing in lines or listening to lengthy lectures, which leads to mental fatigue and a drop in physical conditioning. To revolutionize your sessions, every minute must be accounted for on a detailed practice plan that prioritizes "multi-skill" drills—exercises that combine conditioning, ball handling, and decision-making simultaneously. By keeping the energy high from the initial whistle and utilizing a "staccato" rhythm where segments change every 8 to 12 minutes, you create an environment that mirrors the fast-paced nature of a live game, keeping players focused and invested. A second pillar of improving practice quality is the intentional shift toward Games-Based Learning and situational play. While block practice has its place for teaching raw mechanics, the most significant jumps in "Basketball IQ" occur when players are forced to solve problems in real-time. Instead of running 5-on-0 weaves, implement "small-sided games" like 3-on-3 with specific constraints, such as "no dribbling" or "must touch the post before a shot." This forces athletes to read the defense, communicate through screens, and understand spacing in a way that isolated drills cannot replicate. When you keep score for every segment and turn every drill into a mini-competition, you naturally raise the accountability of the group, ensuring that "game speed" becomes the standard. Finally, making practice better requires a commitment to consistent evaluation and post-practice reflection. Use the mid-season months of January and February to film segments of your practice, allowing you to see which drills are producing results and which are causing confusion. Shared film sessions with players can turn a "practice mistake" into a valuable teaching moment, bridging the gap between a coach's instructions and a player's execution. Additionally, listen to your "culture carriers" and be willing to adapt your intensity based on the team's physical and mental state. By balancing rigorous discipline with a willingness to keep things fresh through new challenges and AI-driven insights, you ensure that your gym remains a place where players are excited to compete and improve every single day.

There are moments that bring everything into sharper focus, moments that invite deeper honesty about what it means to stay alive, connected, and present in this world.    Today, I come to you with the urgency of prioritizing mental health during times of collective overwhelm and personal grief.    It speaks to the quiet despair that can exist beneath functional lives, the courage it takes to ask for help, and the long arc of healing that unfolds when inner landscapes are tended with care.    Mental health is framed not as a problem to fix, but as an ongoing relationship with the nervous system, the body, and the soul. From therapy and community to nourishment, boundaries, and discernment, this space holds a reminder that true spiritual growth is lived inside everyday life.

Why Jamming Isn't Always ProgressMany guitarists spend practice time jamming over backing tracks, but don't see results.The problem: not all practice leads to improvement. Deliberate, focused practice is essential.3. The 4-Step Jam Practice Loop: Transform unstructured jamming into real progress:Jam Freely: Start by playing over a backing track to warm up and get in the groove.Notice One Thing: Pause after a minute or two, pinpoint one specific area that felt off (timing, phrasing, technique, etc.).Isolate: Zoom in on that one issue. Slow it down, simplify, and practice it separately.Rejam With Intention: Go back to the track, this time focusing on improving that one thing, aim for progress, not perfection.4. Making the Most of Backing TracksChoose simple, slow or mid-tempo tracks with clear chord changes.Use tracks that inspire you musically.Beginner Guitar Academy offers curated backing tracks for members.5. Best Practices for JammingDon't play nonstop; leave space to create musical phrases.Stop while it feels good: 5 minutes of focused jamming beats 20 minutes of unfocused noodling.Balance focused practice with fun, unstructured playing to stay motivated and see real benefits.6. Advice for BeginnersYou don't need long jam sessions; even a few minutes of focused practice makes a difference.Mix deliberate practice with time to play and enjoy music.Links & ResourcesDownload January Practice Tracker: bgapodcast.com/januaryDonate to Jesse's Fund: bgapodcast.com/charityAccess Backing Tracks: Beginner Guitar Academy dashboard (Members only)Final ThoughtsJamming should be a fun, rewarding part of your practice routine.

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.In this Mind Moments episode, Benjamin Tolchin, MD, MS, FAAN, joins the podcast to provide clinical perspective on the recently published American Academy of Neurology (AAN) guidelines on functional seizures, drawing on his role as a contributing author to the recommendations. Tolchin, Director of the Center for Clinical Ethics at Yale New Haven Health and Associate Professor of Neurology at Yale School of Medicine, discusses what prompted the development of the first AAN guideline in this space and how the evidence base evolved to support formal recommendations. The conversation explores key considerations around diagnosing functional seizures, including history, semiology, EEG use, and the growing role of video documentation. Tolchin also addresses how clinicians should approach psychiatric comorbidities and co-occurring epilepsy, the evidence supporting psychological interventions, why pharmacologic therapies are not recommended for functional seizures themselves, and where major gaps remain in research to advance care in the years ahead.Looking for more Epilepsy discussion?

Biomotional intelligence describes how the body senses, adapts and responds before thought or analysis…In this episode, Joanne explores how awareness, fascia and lived experience shape the body's innate intelligence in everyday life. She looks at biomotional intelligence not as a concept to understand, but as something to practice. Through embodied awareness, presence and subtle listening, the body reveals meaning that cannot be reduced to data, mechanics or emotional labels.Drawing on fascia therapy, somatic practice and contemplative traditions, Joanne reflects on how sensing precedes thinking, and how over-analysis can interrupt the body's natural capacity to organise, adapt and respond.This episode is part two of a five-part series exploring the relationship between fascia, embodiment and spirituality, created in response to your questions and growing interest in how the body communicates beyond purely mechanical models.This conversation will be especially relevant for those interested in embodied practice, somatic therapy, mindfulness, fascia science and the cultivation of inner awareness.If this episode resonates, you are warmly invited to share your reflections in the comments on Spotify or on the Joanne Avison YouTube channel.Come back for episode three next week!SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective' and pop in your details.

Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss the importance of creating inner space and stillness through meditation practices. But what does it actually mean to create more space in our lives? And why is this important, and how do we go about it? The conversation emphasises that the practice of meditation is not just about achieving enlightenment, but about becoming more present, compassionate, and engaged with the world. It touches upon the difficulties of finding space in modern life, the benefits of different meditation techniques, and misconceptions around enlightenment. The hosts also share personal experiences, including insights about how meditation has deepened their practice and allowed them to navigate challenges with greater flexibility and understanding. The episode ends with a meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu.

Because, particularly when we are very emotional – whether that be grief, agony, pain, anger, frustration – it is probably better to be in a state of motion.” “The Buddha has said, What are we mindful of? We are mindful of our suffering. Why do we practice? To liberate ourselves and all beings from suffering. That is the greatest vow of a monk or a nun: to find liberation in oneself and liberation in all.” “There are so many creations of senses – what we see, what we hear, what we smell, what we taste – to help us cope with our suffering. And when we are suffering, whether that suffering is very petite, a daily concern, or is a generational trauma, we don’t have language for how to be with that suffering. Therefore, we look for a way out – and the world loves giving us a prescription of, ‘If you do this, you will feel that.'” “Sometimes silence is a chance for us to be in touch with deep suffering or deep experiences that our noise has covered up. As a meditator, space gives us the barrier and boundaries to listen and to hold. If we don’t create that space, we will be on autopilot for the rest of our life. Our mind is on autopilot; it has a way of thinking, a way of doing, a way of perceiving, of creating perceptions, creating judgment. So when we meditate and have the opportunity to listen to and then to guide the mind, it gives the mind a chance to not also be carried away by its own habits – which is thinking.” “Thinking is not a bad thing. Like our teacher has always transmitted to us, thinking is a part of creating a view in life, a project, a mission, an intention. But most of our thinking is not productive. It is actually more daydreaming, it is more procrastination. It is more like a zombie, in a way, or a sleepwalker. It has no destination; it’s just on autopilot.” “Many people feel they have to sit on a cushion, they have to have a shrine, they have to light incense, they have to light a candle – which of course can be very beautiful and give a good atmosphere for meditation. But you can also do it on a busy bus or train, or as you’re sitting on a park bench. It’s not about taking things out of your life; it’s about allowing life to be.” “Sometimes we sit just to enjoy sitting and doing nothing, because maybe that's the one gift that we want to give to ourselves – because we’re always doing, we’re always in fifth gear. Sometimes we need a radical act: to sit and do nothing, to give and create and redefine space for ourselves.” “How can we keep mindfulness alive if we are not cultivating it? Sitting meditation is one of the concrete cultivation practices.” “There is right mindfulness and wrong mindfulness. We could be a wonderful burglar with full concentration – but we would be creating suffering. So right mindfulness relieves suffering; it is about understanding suffering and heading towards the path of understanding and love.” “One time our teacher told us that sometimes insight doesn’t come during sitting meditation, but when it’s ripe. Maybe when we’re most relaxed: when we’re not thinking about it, but are living the moment very deeply. And Thay told us that, a lot of the time, it would come while he was gardening or doing walking meditation. But sitting meditation is the cultivation; it is like a gardener tending the seeds of insights to help us have a moment of, ‘Ah, I get it.'” “The practice is maybe just continuing to unlearn things, in order to learn again.” “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” “Sitting is already action. When we sit in this way and have new insight, that will become the thread of so many actions coming forward. So don’t underestimate the power of sitting still; yes, we have apps and guided meditations, but also build the capacity of generating your own guide. And that breath is there, that body is there. Then the community is there – and that’s the beauty of a tradition.” “Whenever we speak about enlightenment, enlightenment of what? What do we want to be enlightened from or towards? Then, later on – like in my own growth – I see that enlightenment is a verb; it is a continuous enlighten-ing. You cannot be enlightened today, December the 9th, and expect that enlightenment to stay the same in 2028. Because things are changing; we are changing. The world is changing.”

https://teachhoops.com/ Maintaining focus during a two-hour practice in the middle of January is often more difficult than the physical conditioning itself. As the "newness" of the season wears off, players can easily slip into a "robotic" state where they are going through the motions rather than getting better. To combat this, coaches must prioritize engagement through variety and pace. By utilizing a "staccato" practice rhythm—changing drills every 8 to 12 minutes—you prevent the mental stagnation that leads to sloppy footwork and missed assignments. When players know that a segment is short and high-intensity, they are more likely to lock in on the specific teaching points of that drill, ensuring that every minute on the floor is productive. Another critical strategy for sustaining focus is the implementation of "Competitive Stakes" in every exercise. If a drill doesn't have a winner, a loser, or a specific goal, the mental intensity will naturally dip. Whether it's a shooting drill where the losing team runs a "down-and-back" or a defensive segment where players must get three consecutive stops to "get out," adding pressure forces the brain to stay sharp. This approach transitions practice from a chore into a series of mini-games, which naturally boosts dopamine and keeps athletes engaged. When the brain is challenged to solve problems under stress, the "focus" becomes a byproduct of the competition rather than a forced effort. Finally, a coach must be aware of their own vocal presence and how it impacts the team's concentration. Long-winded lectures are the fastest way to lose a player's attention; instead, use "Twitter-length" coaching points—concise, punchy instructions that allow the ball to keep moving. Use "Positive Redirection" to highlight the players who are locked in, creating a standard that others will want to emulate. If you notice a collective dip in energy, don't be afraid to pivot to a high-energy "spark" drill, like a 3-on-2 transition or a full-court scramble, to reset the room. By staying attuned to the "vibe" of the gym and keeping the communication clear and urgent, you ensure your team stays focused on the details that determine championship success.
