In this episode of *Mindset Matters*, hosts Patrick and Steffany dive into a rich conversation about mindset, self-talk, and the ways we navigate life's challenges. Steffany kicks things off by sharing her recent experience at Skate America 2024, where the Ice Academy of Montreal had a triumphant showing, sweeping the podium. This event, coupled with Patrick's reflections on Steffany's absence and a throwback episode, sets the tone for a discussion about growth, values, and living a life aligned with personal goals. A significant part of the episode focuses on self-talk, particularly the negative narratives we often carry about ourselves. Patrick shares a parable about a black dot on a white sheet of paper, a metaphor for how people tend to fixate on their flaws (the black dot) rather than the vast potential (the white space) in their lives. This leads into an exploration of how our inner dialogue can limit our growth and self-worth. Steffany, drawing from her expertise as a mindset coach, discusses the profound impact of negative self-talk on personal and professional development. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing and interrupting these negative patterns to open up space for possibilities. The couple also touches on the concept of the “gap and the gain,” a psychological framework that contrasts focusing on what's missing in life (the gap) with celebrating how far we've come (the gain). Steffany highlights the importance of shifting our mindset toward the gain, using the white space around the black dot as a metaphor for the vast potential and opportunity in life. They both reflect on the power of gratitude and how it plays a pivotal role in rewiring our thoughts toward the positive. Physical health and its connection to mental well-being are also discussed. Patrick shares his journey of recovering from a compressed disc injury, highlighting how his physical recovery influenced his mental state. For Patrick, physical activity is a crucial component of maintaining a positive mindset. He explains how setting up systems to make success easier, such as workout routines, is key to sustaining both physical and mental health. As the episode wraps up, Steffany and Patrick caution against the dangers of comparison, especially in the age of social media. Comparing ourselves to others often distorts our perception of success and happiness. Instead, they encourage listeners to focus on their unique paths, celebrating individual progress and growth.

We preview the upcoming Grand Prix Final in Beijing, China, December 7-10, 2023. We breakdown the action in the hotly contested Men's competition, the uncertainty in the Women's division, the fight for silver and bronze in the Pairs, and why the Ice Dance competition is such a wild card. After six Grand Prix qualifiers that included dozens of thrilling performances (as well as a fair amount of messiness), we're finally ready for the Grand Prix Final for 2023!  To say this competition is stacked would be an understatement — especially when looking at the Men's and Dance competitions. In this episode, we break down each discipline, pick each of our favorites for the podium, and even throw out a few “we wish they made it” honorable mentions. Men's Competition FINALISTS: Adam Siao Him Fa (FRA) — 30 pts / Gold at Grand Prix de France and Cup of Chine Ilia Malinin (USA) - 28 pts / Gold at Skate America and Silver at Grand Prix de France Kao Miura (JPN) - 28 pts / Silver at Skate Canada and Gold at Espoo Yuma Kagiama (JPN) - 26 pts / Bronze at Grand Prix de France and Gold at NHK Trophy Shoma Uno (JPN) - 26 pts / Silver at both Cup of China and Grand Prix de France Kevin Aymoz (FRA) - 24 pts / Silver at Skate America and Bronze at Espoo It's not an overstatement to say that this has the potential to be the best men's competition we've seen since the Beijing Olympics. The six men who qualified have all laid down stellar performances this season — each one showing growth when compared to previous seasons. It's certainly hard to pick a favorite here, but momentum seems to be with France's Adam Siao Him Fa. If we look purely at technical merit, it's hard to beat Ilia Malinin from the USA. Based on overall track record and all-around performance skills, reigning World Champion Shoma Uno of Japan should be a lock for the podium. However, ice is slippery and the other three men are all more than capable of earning a podium spot. Watch out for the resurgence of Japan's Yuma Kagiama, the power of Japan's Kao Miura, and the absolute artistic commitment of France's Kevin Aymoz. It's going to be a wild ride! Pairs Competition FINALISTS: Deanna Stellato Dudek and Maxime Dechamps  (CAN) - 30 pts / Gold at Skate Canada and Cup of China Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodi  (GER)- 30 pts / Gold at Espoo and NHK Trophy Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud  (CAN) - 28 pts / Silver at Skate America and Gold at Grand Prix de France Sara Conti and Niccolo Macii  (ITA) - 26 pts / Silver at both Grand Prix de France and Espoo Rebecca Ghilardi and Filippo Ambrosini  (ITA) - 24 pts / Silver at Cup of China and Bronze at NHK Trophy Maria Pavlova and Alexei Sviatchenko*  (HUN) - 24 pts / Silver at Skate Canada and Bronze at Bronze at Espoo *Replaced Hocke and Kunkel, who withdrew due to injury Of all of the disciplines, the pairs has the most clear-cut favorite. Canada's brilliant Deanna Stellato Dudek and Maxime Dechamps have come out swinging this season and given fans a team to be genuinely excited about. They are certainly not a lock to win, but the odds are definitely in their favor. Others to watch here are Germany's Hase and Volodin, fresh off of back-to-back Grand Prix wins and Canada's Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud, who have looked stronger at every competition. The two Italian teams, Conti and Macii and Ghilardi and Ambrosini, are nearly neck and neck this season — with Hungary's Paclova and Sviatchenko not far behind. All could definitely be in the mix for podium spots if others falter. Women's Competition FINALISTS: Kaori Sakamoto (JPN) - 30 pts /  Gold and both Skate Canada and Espoo Isabeau Levito (USA) - 28 pts /  Silver at Skate America and Gold at Grand Prix de France  Loena Hendrickx (BEL) - 26 pts / Gold at Skate America, Bronze at Cup of China Hana Yoshida (JPN) - 24 pts / 4th at Skate America, Gold at Cup of China Nina Pinzarrone (BEL) - 24pts  / Silver at Grand Prix de France and Bronze at NHK Trophy Rion Sumiyoshi (JPN) - 24 pts / Bronze at Grand Prix de France and Silver at Espoo Will this be the formal Grand Prix coronation of Queen Kaori? Only time will tell. Last year, Japan's Kaori Sakamoto went in as the favorite, but faltered. This year, we've seen a much more consistent and focused Kaori — which may give her the edge here. On her heels, Isabeau Levito from the U.S. and Loena Hendrickx of Belgium have had moments of brilliance already this season — though both have also faltered a bit more. Two more Japanese women, Hana Yoshida and Rion Sumiyoshi, both came on strong over the course of the Grand Prix and showed the promise that could make them contenders here. Also, the consistently improving Nina Pinzarrone from Belgium could be a spoiler! Dance Competition FINALISTS: Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier (CAN) - 30 pts / Gold at Skate Canada and Cup of China Madison Chock and Evan Bates (USA) - 30 pts / Gold at Skate America and Espoo Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri (ITA) - 28 pts / Gold at Grand Prix de France and Silver at NHK Trophy Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson (GBR) - 28 pts /  Silver at Skate Canada and Gold at NHK Trophy Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Nikolaj Sorensen (CAN) - 26 pts / Silver at both Grand Prix de France and Espoo Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha (CAN) - 26 pts / Silver at both Skate America and Cup of China The Dance competition is usually the most likely to be predictable, but after Fear and Gibson's upset at NHK Trophy, everything seems a little more up in the air. The top score of the season has been from Canada's beloved Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier — however, their performance at Cup of China saw them nearly lose to another brilliant Canadian team, Lajoie and Lagha. Our reigning World Champions, Chock and Bates, have great material this season and have shown well at both of their Grand Prix assignments, but their free dance at Espoo wasn't as clean as they would like — so we don't yet know what their scoring potential with these programs could be. And then there are the two European rivals of Fear and Gibson from Great Britain and Guignard and Fabbri from Italy who just flipped in their expected standings at NHK Trophy. The Italians are reigning World medalists and extremely strong skaters, but is the momentum with the disco Brits now? Also, because that's not enough, you have the smoldering Canadians, Fournier Beaudry and Sorensen, who may not be favored for the podium but will certainly melt some hearts. And who knows this season — their Top Gun program could take flight here and move them back into the conversation. All in all, this competition looks to be a doozy — we can't wait to see what happens!

Scoreography's recap for the Cup of China, the fourth competition in the 2023-24 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series. We discuss upset wins from Japan's Hana Yoshida and France's Adam Siao Him Fa, argue for a different outcome in Ice Dance, and welcome Canada's Stellato-Dudek & Deschamps to the back-to-back GP gold medal club. The 2023 Grand Prix series landed in Chongqing, China for its fourth stop, and it was… a surprising one, indeed. The Cup of China saw some long-awaited Grand Prix debuts (Shoma Uno, Yelim Kim), several upsets (men's and women's champions were both somewhat unexpected), and one BIG step forward for Lajoie & Lagha in ice dance. Men's Competition The continued rise of Adam Siao Him Fa is nothing short of astonishing. Adam, fresh off a win in France last week, came to Cup of China and took his second Grand Prix title after two flawed but fantastic performances. This win makes him the second man to lock in his spot at the Grand Prix Final in December. In second, King Shoma Uno finally appeared — and it was lovely. After a stellar short program that had him in the lead, he had two falls in his long program that dropped him to silver. Maybe not quite the triumphant return some had hoped for, but Shoma seemed genuinely happy and more focused than ever on being the artist — not just the athlete. Rounding out the top men was bronze medalist, Mikhail Shaidorov, who became the first person from Kazakhstan to medal at a Grand Prix since the late Denis Ten in 2016. Ice Dance Competition Wow, this one was a fight! Favorites Piper Gilles & Paul Poirier of Canada had some trouble in their rhythm dance that opened the door just a crack while fellow Canadians Marjorie Lajoie & Zachary Lagha had the best rhythm dance we may have seen from anyone this season. While Lajoie and Lagas held first going into the long program, they did drop to silver behind Piper and Paul — but only by less than 2 points! Their overall score of 206.02 — the fifth best score of anyone this season — definitely moves them forward as they head into the Grand Prix final. Also, Canadian Nationals are going to be fascinating! In third and fourth, two American teams — Caroline Green & Michael Parsons and Eva Pate & Logan Bye — delivered solid performance and scores that continue to make the road to US Nationals an interesting one. Such a deep field of teams vying for the two spots next to Chock & Bates for a trip to Worlds. Women's Competition While this competition was expected to belong to Loena Hendrickx of Belgium, it was the young Japanese powerhouse, Hana Yoshida, who won the day! After her 4th place debut at Skate America, Hana had another great competition here and surprised even herself with the win. In second, another great Japanese talent, Rinka Wantanabe, skated perhaps the event's most solid two programs to improve upon other results this season for a silver. After a messy but strong short program, Hendricks had an uncharacteristally slow and rather lethargic overall performance in her long, but held onto third and assured her spot at the Grand Prix final as well. Pairs Competition Another step on the path to Worlds for Deanna Stellato-Dudek & Maxime Deschamps was the highlight of the competition, though both programs had noteworthy errors. Regardless, this team was still the class of the field and handily won their second Grand Prix of the season. The Italian team of Ghilardi & Ambrosini had a strong outing to take the silver, as did the new Chinese team of Peng Cheng & Wang Lei to take the bronze in their first appearance as a team on the Grand Prix circuit.

We dig into the very solid competition at the 2023 Grand Prix de France, including mind-blowing performances from Adam Siao Him Fa and Ilia Malinin, a nerve-wracking win for Isabeau Levito, and podium surprises from Nina Pinzarrone, Rion Sumiyoshi, and Lia Pereira & Trennt Michaud.   Grand Prix De France 2023 Commentary In this week's episode, we're talking about the third stop of the 2023 ISU Grand Prix Series — the Grand Prix de France. (a.k.a. the formal coronation of Adam Siao Him Fa as a frontrunner for the World podium!)  Men's Competition It's been a minute since we've seen a super close competition between two of the best in the game, but Ilia Malinin and Adam Siao Him Fa brought the fireworks for Algers, France. Both of them turned in incredible (if not World Championship quality!) programs — with Adam squeaking past Ilia by just 2 points! Worth noting: BOTH skaters went over the 300 point mark! Plus, Ilia Malinin became the first man this season to punch his ticket to the Grand Prix Final.  This competition also gave us our first look at Yuma Kagiyama on the Grand Prix circuit this season — and what a wonderful return it was after almost a full season without him due to injury. He's still leveling back up his technical content, but the pop in his jumps and his gorgeous glide across the ice was the class of the field.  Ice Dance Competition To no one's surprise, this competition was really between two well seasoned teams that are amongst the top in the world: Charlène Guignard & Marco Fabbri and Laurence Fournier Beaudry & Nikolaj Sorenson. Italy's Guignard & Fabbri took the title with two strong, highly technical programs that put them in great position leading into their next Grand Prix, as well as the final.  Pairs Competition Definitely one of the upsets of the competition belongs to the relatively new team of Lia Pereira & Trennt Michaud. The Canadians took gold over Italy's reigning World bronze medalists, Sara Conti & Niccolo Macii. Pereira & Michaud, fresh off their Skate America silver medal, all but locked in their trip to the Grand Prix final with their first big win! Women's Competition The most volatile competition of the event! Isabeau Levito took her first Grand Prix gold here, but to everyone's surprise was less than perfect in the long, with several uncharacteristic mistakes. Still a gorgeous short program, strong technical content, and fewer mistakes than most solidly scored the GP win she's been seeking—as well as a ticket to the Grand Prix final.  The other two women on the podium, Nina Pinzarrone and Rion Sumiyoshi, both moved up significantly and took advantage of the moment when others faltered — with Rion even landing her first ratified quad toeloop in International competition!  We also saw the return of one of skating's most beloved stars – Japan's Wakaba Higuchi. She may have placed fifth, but she showed the power, precision, and passion that she's known for — and we can't wait to see more!  Follow Scoreography: Website — https://scoreography.show Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/scoreography Threads — https://www.threads.net/@scoreography BlueSky — https://bsky.app/profile/scoreography.show

Scoreography returns with the beginning of the Grand Prix 2023-24 season, as we talk about Skate America 2023. We recap the competition with commentary about stand-out performances, heartbreaking disappointments, and up-and-coming skaters we're excited about. Taking place in Allen, Texas, from October 20th-22nd, Skate America kicked off the International Skating Union (ISU) Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series.  The competition featured Women's and Ice Dance divisions stacked with competitive talent, a lopsided Men's event with a small handful of clear favorites, and a struggling Pairs event with only 7 teams (but also some reasons to be hopeful). We discuss the explosive performances from Ilia Malinin, Loena Hendrickx, Chock & Bates, and Kevin Aymoz. We also highlight exciting podium placements for Niina Petrokina, Shun Sato, Chelsea Liu & Balazs Nagy, and more. And we get hyped for new talent like Hana Yoshida, Hannah Lim & Ye Quan, and new dance team Olivia Smart & Tim Dieck. There were huge moments (like Amber Glenn's spectacular triple axel) and bitter disappointments. It was a dramatic weekend of skating, and this early event sets the stage for what's to come as the Grand Prix continues.

Earlier this month the Consider This team took a trip to the Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, Mass, to watch the practices for the 2022 Skate America competition. There, they spoke with two-time national champion, former Olympic skater and Newton native Gracie Gold and others about mental health and diversity in the sport, as well as Boston's own significance in the ice skating world.

In the first episode of Scoreography, hosts Wendy Buske and Adron Buske discuss Skate America 2022, and the Quad Axel heard around the world. We explore the biggest moments and surprises of this figure skating season's first Grand Prix event. And we explain the premise, origin, and intended audience for Scoreography. We examine the competitive performances of Ilia Malinin, Isabeau Levito, Amber Glenn, Kaori Sakamoto, Chock & Bates, Hawayek & Baker, Knierim & Frazier, Stellato-Dudek & Deschamps, and more. Wendy and Adron Buske are experienced podcasters whose work includes the long-running show Nerd For A Living, about careers in pop culture entertainment. Adron is also the host of Fictitious, a podcast and YouTube program about the storytelling craft of science fiction and fantasy.  Scoreography views figure skating through the perspective of a lifelong super fan (Wendy) and a fairly recent but enthustiastic convert (Adron). The show is intended for the casual skating fan looking to learn more about the sport, and aims to promote figure skating to a wider audience.

Max Aaron is an American former figure skater. He is the 2013 U.S. national champion, the 2015 Skate America champion, the 2011 U.S. national junior champion, and a three-time U.S. International Classic champion (2012, 2013, and 2014).

Welcome to an action-crammed edition of The Ice Skating Podcast! This episode we are looking back on a fabulous Skate America and Skate Canada, with interviews from Nathan Chen, Vincent Zhou, Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohoe.As the Speed Skating season approaches, there is an in-depth conversation with former Netherlands racer Douwe de Vries, who has identifies some interesting ‘ones to watch'  for the forthcoming few months. We've also got a review of the first two ISU World Cup Short Track Speed Skating events in Beijing and Nagoya, featuring interviews with Suzanne Schulting, Kristen Santos and Italy's surprise star of the meeting, Yuri Confortola. The Ice Skating Podcast is the official pod of the International Skating Union, brought to you every fortnight, hosted by Nick Moore and Luke Norman.  

Would it really be a men's event if chaos did not abound? We will never know the answer to that as at Skate America, we again did not see peace. We talked about how everyone should lay off Nathan Chen and how we love happy and confident Vincent Zhou and the benefits of skating to a program with your name as the title. We also questioned who Joce's clubbing buddy is now that Uno Shoma is skating to Vivaldi and Bolero, and cried for and with Kevin Aymoz while joining the audience for a standing ovation.In the dance event, we pondered the placement of Yehor Yehorov's worm-ing on the ice, dated ourselves by revealing how old we were when Boom Boom Pow topped the charts, and learned the true meaning of Too Darn Hot with Evan Bates' highly insulated free dance costume.Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(01:07) - ICE DANCE(02:38) - Molly Cesanek & Yehor Yehorov(05:06) - Carolane Soucisse & Shane Firus(06:04) - Natalia Kaliszek & Maksym Spodyriev(06:37) - KOMATSUBARA Misato & Tim Koleto(09:28) - Annabelle Morozov & Andrei Bagin(13:11) - Olivia Smart & Adrian Diaz(16:00) - Laurence Fournier Beaudry & Nikolaj Sørensen(17:55) - Madison Chock & Evan Bates(23:19) - Madison Hubbell & Zach Donohue(26:06) - MEN(26:23) - Kevin Aymoz(28:52) - Artur Danielian(30:27) - Adam Siao Him Fa(33:27) - Nam Nguyen(36:15) - Daniel Grassl(39:19) - Michal Brezina(40:50) - Jimmy Ma(44:09) - SATO Shun(46:44) - Nathan Chen(54:28) - UNO Shoma(58:03) - Vincent Zhou(1:02:46) - Outro------------------------------------------------Follow our figure skating podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lutzgetdownpod/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/lutzgetdownpod And to work with us please contact lutzgetdownpod@gmail.com Logo design by @dezisartvibes on Instagramxx Joce & Clauds

The women's event at Skate America didn't quite have the chaos of the men's event, but there was still much to talk about. We discussed Cruella lore and the implications of Alexandra Trusova's dogs' names on her dress, cried happy tears over the appreciation of Satoko Miyahara's artistry (and lamented the judges' cruel lowballing), wished we were in Vegas to take photos with Amber Glenn and rainbow flags, and mistook Keanu Reeves for Liam Neeson but appreciated Kaori Sakamoto's new programs nonetheless.In the pairs event, we continued our search for clean side by side jumps, questioned the booking rates of Chris Martin and Coldplay, celebrated with Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara, and watched yet another Malagueña program while simultaneously praising that at least it's not another Bolero.Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(02:47) - PAIRS(02:55) - Evelyn Walsh & Trent Michaud(06:22) - Chelsea Liu & Danny O'Shea(09:43) - Alina Pepeleva & Roman Pleshkov(13:00) - Jessica Calalang & Brian Johnson(16:00) - Alexa Knierim & Brandon Frazier(20:42) - Aleksandra Boikova & Dmitrii Kozlovskii(25:33) - MIURA Riku & KIHARA Ryuichi(29:17) - Evgenia Tarasova & Vladimir Morozov(33:55) - Ramble about GP season as a whole(34:43) - LADIES/WOMEN(35:08) - Audrey Shin(37:46) - YOKOI Yuhana(41:05) - Starr Andrews(43:48) - Ekaterina Kurakova(46:00) - KIM Yelim(48:55) - MIYAHARA Satoko(53:03) - Amber Glenn(56:03) - Kseniia Sinitsyna(1:01:13) - SAKAMOTO Kaori(1:07:15) - YOU Young(1:09:25) - Daria Usachëva(1:14:28) - Alexandra Trusova(1:22:40) - Outro------------------------------------------------Follow our figure skating podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lutzgetdownpod/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/lutzgetdownpod And to work with us please contact lutzgetdownpod@gmail.com Logo design by @dezisartvibes on Instagramxx Joce & Clauds
