Performance Psychology and Pop Culture Podcast Mini-Series with Alex & Mat Ep 2: Swamp Kings and the Glorification of Abusive Leadership. It’s both maddening and unsurprising that a show like Swamp Kings celebrates only the toxic aspects of sport and masculinity. The headline quote of the show is “I treat my superstars like superstars and my shit like shit.” Coach Urban Meyer smiles with satisfaction at the quote and the football players on the show, which are only the superstars, chuckle at the mention of this famous line as they try not to show how they truly feel about it. It’s an extreme example of the kinds of old-school “suck it up princess” leaders that are still extremely prevalent in sports, business, and every place you can find your local “competitive at” human beings. Victory at any cost might be horrifically true in war, but it has no place in other high-pressure environments. If you haven't seen the show or don’t have the hours to invest in it, take part in this 30-minute roast of how not to lead. #swampkings #sportpsychology #psychology #coaching #athlete #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth

Language and Performance Podcast Mini-Series with Kayla & Mat AIRING FRIDAY JANUARY 26, 2024 Ep 2: Is it me? Am I the Drama? Internal vs. External Locus of Control We lost because of the Ref tonight - We lost the contract because we didn’t learn enough about our client. How much control do you believe you have over your success? Your performance and its outcome can be seen as your responsibility entirely, a result of outside forces, or somewhere in between. Where on the spectrum of Locus of Control do you lie and how is it impacting your performance and the experience you have? Learn the uncomfortable truth of whether or not your brain makes you feel confident or helpless to life’s little, and not so little, surprises. #sportpsychology #sportsperformance #sports #control #learning #success #mindsetmatters #mindsetmatters #selfawareness #corporatehealth #business #esports

In light of Bell Let's Talk Day, we here at Mindbuffs want to take a moment to pause, and we invite you to join us. Sometimes walls aren't there as a barrier to achieving your goals, but instead as a reminder that rest is crucial to achieving your goals. The most common response that people have to burnout is to push through, but studies show that pushing through can make it even harder to bounce back. So, no matter where you are in your journey through mental health, we at Mindbuffs are ready to help you end the stigma. We're here to listen when you're ready. #bellletstalk #bellletstalk💙

New episode releasing tomorrow!! Tune in for part 2 of Nick and Mats podcast mini-series on Purpose & Identity! #sportpsychology #sports #nhlalumni #nhl #hockey #identity #psychology #mentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

Purpose and Identity Podcast Mini-Series with Nick & Mat Ep 2: The Adventures of a Pro Hockey Player with Nick Johnson Part 2 During part 2 of this conversation, Nick and Mat discuss the conundrum of one’s fixed identity within sport and how it impacts a player’s progression through competitive sports. There are a million books on “how to be successful” written by millionaires and famous people who completely leave out the two most important variables: Who you know and who you are. The latter is something far more within our control. In this episode, we discuss our youth sports experiences and examine the relationship between identity and things like motivation, competition, ‘pecking orders’, and personality. We also take a closer look at what, if any, changes we need to make as we progress through the ranks of sport and business. Lastly, we briefly discuss the realities of retirement and the unavoidable identity crisis that ensues.   Interestingly enough, Mat and Nick uncover positive youth sport experiences as inspiring forces that can actually uphold motivation while an athlete progresses through competitive ranks. Captivating stories of team dynamics and ‘pecking orders’, a discussion on how much one’s approach actually needs to change as you progress through (seemingly more pressure filled) levels, and the dynamics of transitioning away from sport and athlete identity; fill out this novel take on our ideas of ultra commitment to sport. #sportpsychology #sports #nhlalumni #nhl #hockey #identity #psychology #mentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness
