Dr. Melissa Madeson joins us to discuss loneliness. She shares with us the root causes, symptoms, and some key strategies people can implement to feel less lonely and potentially prevent loneliness as well. She explains the difference between transient and chronic loneliness. There is also quite a bit of discussion around feeling your feelings, being able to name your emotions and how to shift them. At one point, she says that "what you resist persists" and this made so much sense! She discusses the benefits of meditation, therapy, nature, hobbies and journaling to help lift your spirits. Much of what is discusses also stems around being comfortable with yourself, knowing yourself and ultimately loving yourself. Another big moment is when she explains that emotions aren't mutually exclusive. You can experience joy, even in difficult times. You can be happy doing something, even if you're grieving. This episode is chalk full of helpful information from an expert on how to kick loneliness in the butt! More about Dr. Melissa Madeson: Melissa Madeson is a licensed therapist in Flower Mound, Texas. She has a PhD in Sport Exercise from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She also has an MEd in Counseling & Human Development from Hardin Simmons University and a BA in Psychology and MS in Kinesiology & Sport Performance from California State University, Sacramento. Melissa is Gottman level 1 and level 2 certified. More from Melissa: My Passion Is Helping People Deepen Their Most Meaningful Relationships. I pride myself on being compassionate, empathetic, and deeply caring. I am loyal, dedicated, hardworking, and driven. I have experienced the highs and lows of life like so many. I have personally struggled with depression and anxiety and have also lost a younger brother to a drug overdose. At the same time, my life has had its fair share of joys—I married my best friend and soulmate and have experienced the life-giving power of relationships time and again. All of these experiences inform the work I do with clients. Today, I have my own full-time psychotherapy practice and work with individuals, couples, and families. My Approach To The Healing Process: I take a holistic approach to mental health and relationship counseling. Sessions with me are so much more than just talk therapy—I use a bottom-up approach to help clients feel grounded and centered, get in touch with their body, and connect to themselves on a deeper level. As a certified yoga teacher, I prioritize incorporating the wisdom of the body into my work with clients. Since the mind and body are inherently connected, true healing means working with both of them simultaneously. In my work with couples, I primarily draw from an approach called the Gottman Method and also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) No matter which approach works best for you, I am confident that I can help you improve your relationships with your loved ones and deepen your connection with yourself in the process.

Persuasion and Communication in Sport, Exercise, and Physical ActivityHow can we use persuasion methods to make people more physically active and improve their sport and exercise experiences? How can instructors, coaches, athletes, and practitioners most effectively communicate their messages to others? Persuasion and Communication in Sport, Exercise, and Physical Activity is the first book to consider the applications of persuasion frameworks within activity-related contexts, whilst also summarising the major developments relating to communication topics in these settings. It provides a state of the art review of the key developments, challenges, and opportunities within the field. It brings together international experts from the fields of social, health, and sport and exercise psychology, to give theoretical overviews, insights into contemporary research themes and practical implications, as well as agendas for future research. Covering topics such as changing attitudes towards exercise, social influence, persuasive leadership and communicating with people with physical disabilities, this book provides a contemporary approach to persuasion and communication in a sport, exercise and physical activity setting. It is an important text for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as academics in the fields of Sport and Exercise Science, Kinesiology, Health and Physical Activity Promotion and related areas of Psychology.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316698536_Persuasion_and_Communication_in_Sport_Exercise_and_Physical_Activityhttps://www.routledge.com/Persuasion-and-Communication-in-Sport-Exercise-and-Physical-Activity/Jackson-Dimmock-Compton/p/book/9780367407759

Sport exercise and bodies in queer communities

Over 60 million people in the U.S. play fantasy sports—that's one in almost five people. Game developers need to keep rolling out new and exciting opportunities to keep these gamers engaged. How is one company, GameOn, leveraging Web 3.0 to do just that? On today's episode of Gossip About Gossip by Hedera, podcast Host and SVP of Communications at Swirlds Labs, Zenobia Godschalk, speaks with Matt Bailey, CEO of GameOn, about what GameOn is and how they are leveling up the sports and fantasy gaming experience on Web 3.0 through their Karateka launch. Godschalk and Bailey also discuss… The journey GameOn has taken to get to where they are now How GameOn is leveraging blockchain technology for the fantasy sports industry GameOn's cross-chain compatibility and partnership with Hedera Bailey covered the Web 3.0 benefits. “Let's use the karate combat partnership that we have as an example… We're going to be selling playable digital fighters. So, every fighter in the karate combat league, you're going to be able to buy them. They'll be limited at 200 per fighter but it will look and feel like the actual fighter that's fighting in the live events. With that playable digital fighter, notice we're not calling it an NFT. Of course, it is an NFT, but it's a playable digital fighter. You can gear it up, so you can buy gear like weapons and shorts and other different items that can not only change the look of your playable digital fighter, but can also give it an advantage in games,” he stated. Matt Bailey is CEO of GameOn and Founder & Board Director of Brooklyn Kings Rugby League. He is an entrepreneur breaking into the future of Web 3.0 games. He has served as an Adjunct Professor for Clark University, Senior Director, Brand Partnerships, for LiveStyle, Inc., and Director, Global Partnerships for Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, amongst other roles. Bailey attended the University of Technology Sydney, where he earned a Bachelor of Management in Sport & Exercise.

In this weeks episode, Han is joined by Daniel Manseray. Daniel is the founder of the eating disorder exercise clinic and is a specialist mental health physiotherapist and dialectical behavioural therapist.In this episode, we talk all things exercise and eating disorders with Daniel. We discuss how Daniel uses his experience as a physiotherapist and dialectical behavioural therapist to support individuals with eating disorders to develop a healthier relationship with exercise.With that in mind, we discuss the difference between a healthy and unhealthy relationship with exercise and the biopsychosocial factors to consider when thinking about someone's relationship.We then speak about the link between emotions and exercise, which may be causing someone's dependence on exercise, as well as identity and managing the return to exercise following on from a break during eating disorder recovery.We discuss the prevalence of eating disorders in different types of sports including the difference between lean (e.g., endurance, aesthetic, and weight-dependent sports) and non-lean sports (e.g., ball, power, technical sports) and the consequences that may occur including the female athlete triad or RED-S.Finally, we discuss the education and awareness that is required for both coaches and athletes to ensure they understand a healthy and unhealthy relationship with exercise and the consequences of this, as well as support throughout for individuals to call upon or recognise if things start to become unhealthy.Resources recommended for professionals:UK Sport: https://www.uksport.gov.uk/~/media/files/resources/eatingdisordersin_sport.pdfProject RED-S: https://red-s.comSEES Guidelines: https://www.safeexerciseateverystage.com/access-sees-guidelinesNEDA: https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/learn/general-information/compulsive-exerciseTo find out more about Daniel and the ED Exercise Clinic, you can follow them on Instagram @edexerciseclinic or visit https://www.edexerciseclinics.com.

We all do it without thinking about it. We breathe in, we breathe out. How much does the way you breathe, though, affect you physiologically and psychologically? How can breathing techniques improve performance in sport and exercise, as well as reduce stress and pain in daily life?

James Owen Roberts is an entrepreneur, podcast host, and international speaker with over 15 years of experience in exercise, diet, and mindset as both a coach and 2x Paralympic athlete. In addition to running James Owen Roberts Coaching, he also serves as a Wheelchair Rugby League Ireland consultant. James was born to military parents at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (S.H.A.P.E). James’ mother was a NATO civilian for 33 years, and his father was a Master Sgt in the United States Air Force. He grew up on the base until he graduated from SHAPE American High School. James was born with a congenital disability called femoral dysplasia, also known as Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) or Congenital Femoral Deficiency (CFD). This rare, non-hereditary congenital disability affects the pelvis, particularly the hip bone and the proximal femur. The disorder affects James on the left side, with the hip being deformed and the leg shortened. Also, James was born with a floating hip and scoliosis of the spine. James only truly got involved with disability sport in 2002 at the age of 16 after swimming at age 11. He used the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games as a springboard to my future career as a High-Performance Athlete. There were many highs and lows along with his 10-year career in high-performance sport. James Owen Roberts quickly rose through the ranks within disability sport, and by 2003, he had already broken into British Swimming’s Development Squad. However, two years later, he was dropped from the program. James went home thinking he would become a regular student. Disability Sport Wales (DSW) performance director, Anthony Hughes, asked James to try his hand at rowing; James accepted and went on to compete at three world championships and finished 5th at the Beijing 2008 Paralympics. Then another opportunity to represent his country once more; however, it was an unexpected call-up to the World Championships in 2010 being held in Oklahoma. James says that it is surreal at times reading some of the old press releases, especially from his time at The University of Chester, where he studied for his Postgraduate Certificate in Sociology of Sport Exercise. The difficulty was he had to balance the Postgraduate course with his full-time training in the lead up to London 2012 back at Roehampton University, London, where Great Britan Volleyball was based. “Not just a state of mind… But a way of life.” - James Robert Owens James was very fortunate to be quite busy after the games, promoting Paralympic sport and talking about his experiences with school children in North Wales. He received an opportunity to speak at a college in London, and then in 2014, he was invited to talk on the Awaken Your Alpha podcast, which is how he ended up here with us today on the TRUE Success podcast.

A special edition of TopMedTalk recorded at The Institute of Sport Exercise and Health (ISEH) live from an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) leadership forum. How can cold water adaption help people deal with medical issues? There's evidence to suggest that cold water adaption reduces inflamation, can open water swimming help with issues such as chrohn's disease? On the other hand how important is it to ensure patients do not become cold while in our care? Hypothermia is never good, how important is it to keep patients warm? Keeping patients and their environments warm is discussed, as is pre-warming, going beyond the standard blankets and patient insulation to include active warming and even patients exercising as a method of warming up. Further to this conversation, how do you measure a patient's temperature? How do we drive change in our institutions towards enhanced recovery after surgery? The GIRFT (Getting It Right First Time) project is explained. The Health Foundation is also mentioned. The piece also includes patient communication and the question of 'how much is too much?', when administering a dose of morphine. Also, is there a hierarchy on the pathway of enhanced recovery after surgery?

In this episode Dr Tomlinson talks with us about sport, exercise and physical activity in children and adolescent populations living with cystic fibrosis. Owen is currently an Associate Research Fellow in Sport & Health Science, responsible for coordinating a national randomised control trial, examining an online physical activity intervention in patients with cystic fibrosis. He was awarded his PhD in 2019, having focused on the role of exercise testing in the assessment and treatment of cystic fibrosis - a genetic condition that predominantly affects the lungs, and affects around 11,000 people in the UK. This follows his BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Bath (2012) and MSc in Paediatric Exercise and Health from the University of Exeter (2013).He is also actively involved with the local provision of exercise testing and training at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, coordinating and leading the exercise testing service; as well as leading the national 'Cystic Fibrosis and Exercise Technicians Network', a group for frontline NHS staff that are responsible for exercise provision in cystic fibrosis.

Cold water adaptation for theraputic purposes. How can you gain the benefits of this unusual but increasingly popular activity? Open water swimming is discussed, how long you need to do it and what the benefits are. It's suggested that it might work because it is an anti-inflammatory. There's even the suggestion it can help with issues such as chrohn's disease.

One of the many things that makes Opal a unique eating disorder treatment center is our incorporation of movement, exercise, and sport into the recovery process. We believe that movement is more than just a means for losing weight or shaping one's body. In this introduction to Opal's final core tenet, therapist and co-founder Kara Bazzi, founder, and developer of Opal's Sport+Exercise program leads our discussion about how widening one's perspective on what movement is can be a game-changer.

Study: Coaching on the Wave: An Integrative Approach to Facilitating Youth Development Abstract:   Central to the ability of successfully utilizing sport as a social intervention to promote youth developmental outcomes is the role of the youth sport leader (YSL). While many YSLs care for the youth-athletes with whom they work, many YSLs do not have a purposeful intent when facilitating sport as a social intervention. One strategy developed to increase the YSL's ability to intentionally facilitate sport towards youth development is the Coaching on the Wave model, which offers a framework for YSLs to apply theory and research into their coaching practices to intentionally promote positive youth outcomes such as life-skill development.   Author: Tarkington Newman Tarkington J. Newman (MSW, University of Michigan; MS, The Ohio State University) is a fourth year doctoral student in the College of Social Work.  He is currently serving as a Graduate Research/Teaching Associate for Dr. Anderson-Butcher in The LiFEsports Initiative.  Prior to his work as a Graduate Associate, he was awarded a Graduate Enrichment Fellowship through The Ohio State University.  Tarkington’s research interests lie within sport-based positive youth development among high-risk urban minority youth.  Specifically, his focus is on the role of the youth sport leader and their ability to facilitate and transfer life skill development.  Tarkington has co-authored several publications in peer-reviewed journals such as: Research on Social Work Practice, Psychology of Sport & Exercise, and Journal of Applied Sport Psychology.  Additionally, Tarkington co-developed the experiential-based Coaching on the Wave model, which has been presented at conferences such as Experiential Education Annual International Conference and International Adventure Therapy Conference.  Tarkington has also taught a variety of undergraduate courses in both social work and sport science departments such as: Engagement & Interview Skills, Prevention and Youth Development though Sport, Recreation and Play; Contemporary Issues in Sport, and Coaching the Young Athlete.  In addition to his academic work, he was trained as a school social worker, where he specialized in adventure therapy and crisis intervention.  He has also spent the last decade coaching track & field at the high school and collegiate club levels.   Links:   Author:   http://csw.osu.edu/degrees-programs/phd/meet-our-doctoral-students/newman-tarkington/   Study: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21520704.2015.1073203?journalCode=uspa20

Study: A qualitative study of perfectionism among self-identified perfectionists in sport and the performing arts Abstract: When adopting any measure of perfectionism to examine the characteristic in sport or the performing arts, researchers make assumptions regarding its core features and, sometimes, its effects. So to avoid doing so, in the current study we employed qualitative methods to examine the accounts of self-identified perfectionists. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to explore the opinions and perceptions of high-level, self-identified perfectionists from sport, dance, and music. In particular, we sought to obtain detailed information regarding (a) participants’ perceptions of the main features of being a perfectionist and (b) how they perceived being a perfectionist to influence their lives. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 international/ professional athletes, dancers, and musicians. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and themes within the transcripts. Three overarching themes were identified: drive, accomplishment, and strain. Being a perfectionist was characterized by the participants as having ever-increasing standards, obsessiveness, rigid and dichotomous thinking, and dissatisfaction. The participants also described how being a perfectionist influenced their lives by, on the one hand, providing greater capacity for success in their respective domains but, on the other hand, contributing to varying degrees of personal and interpersonal difficulties. The accounts suggest that, in the main, the content of current models and measures adequately capture the features of being a perfectionist in sport and performing arts. However, a greater focus on obsessiveness, dissatisfaction, and intra- versus interpersonal dimensions of perfectionism would provide further insight into the lives of perfectionists in these domains.   Author: Andrew Hill Dr. Andy Hill is the Head of Programme for Taught Master’s degrees in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at York St. John University. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Sport Studies (BSc) at De Montfort University and a PhD in Sport and Exercise Psychology at the University of Bedfordshire. He primarily teaches Sport and Exercise Psychology and Research Methods with an emphasis in motivational processes, personality and individual differences. Growing up a big sports fan and  keen participant in various sports, Andy can turn on any sports event and get lost in the drama and spectacle of watching athletes perform. He thinks sport is an excellent context in which to view human behavior.   Links:   Author: http://www.yorksj.ac.uk/health--life-sciences/faculty-of-hls/staff-contact-details/sport-staff/andy-hill-profile/andy-hill-research.aspx   Study: http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/features/spy-spy0000041.pdf   Book: The Psychology of Perfectionism in Sport, Exercise and Dance   https://www.routledge.com/The-Psychology-of-Perfectionism-in-Sport-Dance-and-Exercise/Hill/p/book/9781138958692   Quotes from the Episode:   “On one hand, perfectionism is a kind of powerful motivational force. It makes them train harder, train longer, it provides them a greater capacity for success. But the flip side to this, is they all reported to varying degrees some elements of difficulty coping with their perfectionism.”   “If they (perfectionists) can’t do it perfectly, they don’t do it at all.”   “Any successes are tainted or any successes are in context of this dark cloud that hangs over them.”   “There is nothing wrong with having exceptionally high standards, it’s essential for most domains, including sport, exercise and dance. But what is not essential is for every single little failure you experience that you engage in debilitating self-criticism to the point at which you are unable to persevere and return to the task.”
