Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss the reimagined "FedEx Cup Fall," and whether the structure is fair to Korn Ferry Tour graduates and other young players as they work towards full status on the PGA Tour. SK and CH also review the tee times for all 12 of the Team Europe players in the BMW PGA Championship field this weekend, and whether the pairings could indicate "pods" for the Ryder Cup at Marco Simone. Finally, Smylie speaks with fellow LSU Tiger Dr. Bhrett McCabe - a sports psychologist who works with Jon Rahm, Sam Burns, and Brian Harman - about the mindset required to succeed in a high-pressure environment like the Ryder Cup.

Episode #57 // Erin Ayala, cyclist and sports psychologist // How do the stories we tell ourselves impact our self-image, our performance, and even the enjoyment we derive from sport? And what if those stories aren’t serving us? How can we change them? 

Licensed sport psychologist, certified mental performance consultant, researcher, and elite cyclist Erin Ayala and I explore these questions and so much more in this week’s episode of Real Fit. 

Erin also shares the surprising comment from an ex that sparked her leap into endurance sports, her experience competing in triathlons in the Athena category, why she’s passionate about creating space for athletes of all sizes, how she’s rewritten her own body image story, and how self-compassion has served as the basis for all of it.

Today I’m talking to sports psychologist Lisa Lewis.

Lisa is a licensed psychologist with her own practice where she often helps athletes with complicated problems beyond their sports performance. Her mission is to help her clients uncover what motivates them, but it took her years to figure out that motivation was her focus and her mission all along. 

We talk about:

• How when things didn’t go as expected out of college, Lisa took advantage of unique opportunities which were later valued by her doctoral program.
• How Lisa grew her sports psychology practice from something she did one night a week into her main business while still leaving plenty of time to take on other projects.
• How she’s a self-described “decathlete in psychology,” and keeps many different irons in the fire by teaching, running continuing education classes for people in the fitness world, and consulting for a tech start-up.

We discuss the parallels between Olympic preparation and organisational leadership – but how in many ways organisations often know what to do but don’t ‘walk the talk’ in the way the teams who surround athletes do.  Lou explains why it’s never a comfortable experience watching an athlete you’ve trained, why athletes have experienced and understood more things about themselves leading up to a Covid Olympics than any other and why we are set to see some incredible performances.

Ep 9. The more I talk to elite rowers and coxes, the more I understand the importance that sport psychology plays in creating the best performances both on and off the river. That's why I was so delighted when expert in sport psychology, Chris Shambrook, agreed to come on the podcast. We had a fascinating chat, covering:

• Chris's path into sport psychology
• His experiences of working with the GB Rowing Squad
• Whether rowers have unique psychological needs compared with other sports
• How to deal with a personality clash between athletes or between coach and athlete
• The psychology of the Olympic cycle
• Developing a challenge mindset instead of a threat mindset
• Learning to observe your thoughts and emotions
• Chris's work with Planet K2 

Chris went on to answer listeners' questions about the following:

• Mind over body on the erg
• Coping with the fear of the erg test - the gold-silver-bronze approach
• Not finishing an erg test
• The connection with mindful meditation and using your fear of failure
• Imposter syndrome and perfectionism
• Helping adult learn-to-rowers
• Dealing with the ageing process as an athlete
• Supporting young rowers with varying growth rates
• What resources are available if you don't have a sports psychologist to hand
• How to cope with the uncertainties of the pandemic as an athlete

Welcome to episode fifty-four of the Low Tide Boyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We have a great show for you this week that seems really timely given everything that’s been going on in the world lately. We have Sociologist, Sports Psychologist, and elite Swimrunner Susie Moonan of Push On Coaching. This interview is all about the mental side of training and racing and worth every second.

More on this important conversation later in the show.

Shoutouts

This week we’re shouting out our friend Sarah for finishing the TogetheRelay Challenge. What is this thing you might ask? Well, it's a self-guided race around the entire Bay Ridge Trail totalling over 400 miles in 70 segments with a total of 72,000’ of climbing. Chris ran a couple of the segments with Sarah a few weeks ago and has no desire to do the entire challenge by himself like Sarah did. Tip of the hat to you Sarah!

Adventure Time/Training Updates

We went out to Lake Sonoma over the weekend and surveyed a potential Swimrun course that looks like it will be pretty cool. Now that we’ve sighted all the potential swim entrances and exits the next step is to suit up and see what happens. We’ll have more reporting on this soon.

This Week in Swimrun (Powered by Raceid.com)

We are solidly in the Swimrun off-season so no race updates to share.

Ödyssey Swimrun has opened registration for Orcas Island, Casco Bay, and Austin. They also have a new race on the calendar for 2021: Swimrun Ludington in Michigan. There’s a cool hype YouTube video out for that race with a previous guest of the show John Stevens that everyone should check out.

The registration window for the ÖTILLÖ World Championship is closing on January 20th. Go to their press release to get all the details on how to enter. 

That’s it for this week. Feel free to email us to tip us off to any events or Swimrun news that you’d like for us to share on the show.

This Week’s Interview

As mentioned at the beginning of the show, our conversation with this week’s guest is really timely. Susie Moonan joins us to talk about the mental side of sports and swimrun. We first learned about Susie during the Champions Christmas Challenge Gala where she shared a message to all the participants that immediately got us thinking that we wanted her on the show. She’s an elite Swimrunner, Coach, Sociologist, and Sports Psychologist with her own coaching platform, Push-On Coaching. 

In this interview, we discussed her elite swimming background, her goals of qualifying for the Swedish Olympic team at age 16, and how she wasn’t mentally prepared for the intense pressure of those goals. These experiences set her on the path to study sociology and psychology and ultimately find her passion for helping others mentally prepare for athletic achievement. We also discussed how she found Swimrun and ultimately qualifying for the ÖTILLÖ World Championship in 2018. She finished in 4th place that year and finished 2nd place (Women’s Division with her partner Anna Hellström) in her second World Championship in 2019.

The bulk of the conversation was about being mentally prepared for training and racing. There’s too much knowledge to summarize properly here but learning how an individual identifies and reacts to stress and then learning how to cope with these situations with positive thoughts and mental cues. Susie also mentioned the importance of thinking through potentially stressful situations before a race to have a “crisis plan” to deal with setbacks, should they occur. Visualizing the race in as much detail as possible before the event to help your mind be prepared for what’s to come since the mind can’t tell the difference between what we imagine from what actually happens. (Insert many minds blown emojis here)

Susie Moonan is a coaching treasure and we will be sure to have her on the podcast in the future. You can learn more about Push-On Coaching on her website and follow Push on Coaching on Instagram.

“We're all put here on earth for a purpose. My purpose is to be someone else's eyes.” —Jerome Avery

Jerome has been able to “connect the dots” of how his life experiences prepared him for his purpose. Here he shares with Jon and Bryan all of the influences that impacted the path he’s on today. 

He passionately shares the inspiring stories of Paralympians who overcome daily life challenges that we take for granted. His vision for finding “selfless” elites to stand alongside these amazing athletes motivates his work.

(2:54) Jerome’s early life, his introduction to track and field, and discovering the gift of speed…

(8:52) What happens when you have supportive parents, a good work ethic, and natural talent…

(11:09) “I have the slumdog millionaire life.” Jerome shares how his competitive experiences on the track prepared him to know what his runners needed to hear.

(13:30) Looking back at influences… community college, Tommy Smith, and the Olympic dream.

(16:44) Happy to be at the trials but not quite prepared mentally…

(18:24) An invite to the Olympic training center changed everything.

(20:14) “...in order for me to be a great guide runner, I had to have success through selflessness.”

(22:58) An opportunity to go to Athens, Greece as a guide runner…

(25:49) 50,000 pairs of eyes, a mistake, and a silver medal…

(29:46) “Those journeys from me being an individual athlete kick in.”

(31:47) Different classifications mean different challenges and techniques.

(35:47) Some of the athletes Jerome has trained and the places he has run…

(37:28) The goal of being a contract guide runner and matching guides with athletes from other countries…

(39:18) Being in it for the right reasons…

(43:36) How do Paralympians want to be seen and treated?

(49:16) Paralympians versus Olympians, can they be compared?

(51:35) How is Covid impacting training?

(58:49) Training as usual…

(59:08) The challenges of having enough guide runners… and Jerome’s foundation, “Guiding Lives.”

(1:02:17) “You can't tell me that in the United States, there're only three or four vision-impaired athletes that are elite.” Jerome addresses the need for a growing awareness.

(1:05:23) What does Go Be More mean to you?
