February 18, 202153. Clearing out What's Gone, Creating the Future, from Sherman, J. - IQ #12
Athletes, as with any other person, 🔮 might get stuck into some misfortune that happened in the past. What about clearing that out from one’s mind ⚾ and catch the opportunities we have at each present moment, in order to get closer to the outcome we want?
This Quote for today’s IQ, although seemingly simple, it has some intricacies that can spur up some discussion. And taking that in consideration I approached it from some angles. And between all I call into attention some more deep work one might consider doing psychologically - hinting for Psychotherapy - nothing wrong about that (by the contrary! All right pretty possibly)
This comes from a not well known author (James R Sherman) from his book “Rejection - How to Survive Rejection and Promote Acceptance” - and it is clearly about this key aspect that I talk on this IQ. So the Insight part will be on the Letting go spirit in a good sense, and in fact, a good follow up from previous interview with Psychologist Luís Gonçalves, on Mindfulness.
QUOTE: “Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending”.

February 17, 202152. Psicoterapia e Mindfulness no Mundo do Desporto, w/ Luís Gonçalves @Psinove
Para nos falar 🌤️ da importância dos princípios da atitude Mindfulness que podem ser levados para a prática desportiva, e para o nosso dia-a-dia... Nesta conversa, a EWS conta com um convidado especial - Luís Gonçalves, Psicoterapeuta da Psinove -
   Um episódio que serve principalmente atletas de todas as idades e níveis, e chama a atenção para os próprios olhares para a sua vida de forma mais abrangente. Ou seja, ter em consideração as suas áreas de vida e necessidades psicológicas, e não fixar apenas no que pode fazer para melhorar o seu desempenho. Pois um paradoxo que aqui aparece é que quando o atleta se cuida mais como um Todo, as suas práticas desportivas e o seu potencial podem evoluir naturalmente por tabela.
   São partilhadas mais visões ecléticas para o dia-a-dia de um atleta, e sobre aquilo que pode facilitar uma boa Adaptação e saúde mental coesa, e aquilo que, pelo contrário, pode pô-la em perigo.
   Mais concretamente, se estás prestes a ouvir esta entrevista, fica a saber sobre os benefícios que a ciência já mostra sobre práticas de meditação; o que tens a ganhar a partir de uma postura de não-julgamento; e como podes aprender a estar de uma maneira diferente (contra intuitiva mas produtiva!) com as tuas dificuldades e falhas.
   Citações:
“Ao abrirmos espaço para essa permissão em relação à falha/dor, nós começamos a sentir um alívio, que nos permite depois ganhar recursos para lidar com o que aí vem. Portanto, mais do que estar a trocar o quer que seja, é aprendermos a estar com aquilo que surge momento a momento - esse permitir abre espaço para a mudança”
“Se o atleta olhar para a sua vida como um todo (atender às várias necessidades psicológicas individuais) muito provavelmente isso vai ajudar no seu desempenho; e não colocar todos os seus recursos/vida nessas questões... Não descurar outras áreas de vida nem a si como pessoa”

February 15, 2021 51. HC4 - A Formula for Pre-competition Moments, Olympian, QBIO #12
A special and unique message 💌 that former Olympic Athlete, Roberto Durão, shared with me and brought us to tears.

With this one, you will hear me reciting a poem his father offered to Roberto, to accompany him on trainings, and to help on Pre competition settings. Roberto says, this was crucial to help him reach a great and unique result for Portugal in the 1984 Olympics, in Los Angeles!

Tune in, this is an offer from us to you, hope it is of good service.
--- Please tell us your thoughts and if this impacted you somehow 😉

June 24, 202049. Transferring Wisdom from Poker to Performance Areas, Mental Training w/ Tommy Angelo
Wondering what standing at a poker table ♠️ can teach other sports contexts? This is the fittest episode for that. Grabbing from qualities like Patience, Composure, Emotional Management, and a bunch of others herein described, we get Poker Pro and Mental Game Coach - Tommy Angelo!
With a growing personal interest in Poker, our Host, Gonçalo Marques started to look after some specialists in this area that could provide great value for E-W-S. And this man was a top choice! Thrilled to receive him and bring some concepts of the poker game to produce some useful metaphors!
He got in contact with Mindfulness philosophy and practices, and not only it improved his quality of life while in a troubled period of his life, but also led to significant improvements in his consistency and A-game at the poker tables.
He shares here some of his art of Stillness, of having robustness, and facing Competitors in positive ways. This, and much more relevant topics for any athlete. Reasons enough to listen in?

June 01, 202048. Tweaking Perception - Inner and Breath Work for Athletes, w/ Nimrod & Billy @Be.Fore
2 former Pro Athletes 🔄 join in to talk about the mishaps and the reasons for their non-fulfilment, and unfulfilled potential during their careers.
And now they share to EWS the path they are in together with (Be.Fore), assisting mainly athletes and managers to be balanced and gain equanimity in their perceptions - their keyword!
- Nimrod has worked in the military Special Forces and Rescue teams.
- Billy is now coaching performers through breath work and inner work.
The usefulness of this Interview for athletes go exactly to the capacity of understanding and positioning oneself in Activation Mode, and in Rest/Relax Mode, as well as, evaluating what one is producing in the training and what one is lacking.
--- And just a hint: Be compassionate, patient, and secure 🙂

In the face of several failed attempts 😣 in the execution of some technical move, a person may start to get discouraged to continuing on...
