Another Mother Runner

A Sport Psychologist on Perfectionism + Runners


Listen Later

Calling all perfectionists and Type-A folks (and those who are intrigued by them): This enlightening episode is for you! With co-hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat, guest Erin Ayala, Ph.D., a sport psychologist and endurance athlete, talks about: 

-the difference between being a diligent athlete and a perfectionist; 

-the double-edged sword of upholding super-high standards; 

-the benefits of letting go, even in a race; 

-balancing ambition + striving with gratitude; and,

-acknowledging a workout or race sucked!

 

The host duo compares notes about rock concerts they’ve attending (a Phish v. REM smackdown!) before the guest joins around 8:43. Play-along: Chug GU Hydration every time the guest says, “adaptive!” Miles of Books, at the episode’s end, continues the conversation re: perfectionism with this book.
