Athletes, Coaches and Parents!!!
“URG SOCIAL MEDIA”
“Athletes should just get off of social media”
Unfortunately… harder and harder to tell your athletes.

Wondering what the impact of social media on athletes might look like? Check out this video I made based on some of the findings from my PhD work!

The video is a “letter” to the amazing athlete participants in my study. It is important for other stakeholders in sport to understand how social media (and the way we interact with each other online) is influencing the way athletes engage with sport.

Part of the reason I started studying this area was because (

How is social media influencing athletes' mental performance??? This video is a discussion of the athletes perspectives from the study "Athletes vs. Coaches:...

Proud of my friend and guest Maeghen Cotterill for launching this initiative. I am thankful for also having our podcast conversation featured on the website!!

Maeghen was featured in the first "conversation" edition episode of the podcast. We discuss many things and ESPECIALLY women participation in martial arts. She brings a refreshing perspective to the topic and her open-mindedness and strength shine through.

My guest this week is Patrick Gorrell. Pat is a Certified Personal Trainer under the governing body of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP-CPT) and is a Precision Nutrition Level 2 Coach. Pat also has 15 years of teaching and coaching karate.

Concussions are not something that we like to talk about, but they are something that we need to acknowledge because we are in a contact sport. It's not scary -- but it is something we need to be aware of 🙂

Thank you Ryan Sutton of the Concussion Advocacy Network for the conversation

I'm so fascinated with the concept of "how did we get to where we are today?" -- knowing that changes (even very small changes) have been implemented for different reasons ➡️which have led to different directions ➡️resulting in the creation of different things!

Within the movement context...
IT'S SO COOL
We're in the multiverse yo!!!

Any recommendations on some information/book about this particular topic (karate: point sparring)??
My searches have resulted in limited information

Honestly, there's probably more than the two streams too

My guest this week is Suba Shrestha. Suba is a National Kata and Kumite Champion. I feel so lucky having Suba as a guest as I admire her skill, and although I recognize that she specializes in the forms aspect of karate I wanted to talk to her about Kumite and her experiences competing. Within discussing her experiences, Suba teaches me more about Kumite, we compare Point Fighting and Kumite, and speculate rule changes in Kumite over the years.

Let's talk physiology!!

My guest this week is Dr. Sarah Hopkins; Chiropractor and owner of Bodylab Chiropractic and Massage in the Niagara region (oh ya… and she does ironmans competitively). We discuss treating Sport Karate athletes’ bodies, injury prevention and recovery (!!), the idea of pain vs. discomfort, overtraining, the aging body, body maintenance, training smarter vs. harder, and individual body makeup with sport and movement.

"Use recovery to your advantage"

My guest this week is Trevor Nash. This is a unique interview with Trevor who many people associate with one of the greats when it comes to competing in point sparring (honestly I don’t even know all his stats and he wouldn’t tell me when I asked)… but not a lot of people recognize him for his coaching. AND he's my current coach! 🥊💥

We discuss Trevor’s experiences and perspectives on coaching within sport karate, specifically: being an instructor vs. being a coach within sport karate, his experiences competing and coaching, the evolution of his own coaching and coaching in sport karate, those Gen Z athletes, loyalty and trust between coaches and athletes, and obstacles and misconceptions of coaching

Want to learn more about teaching and coaching?? Or already teach and coach and want to hear from someone who studies AND practices it?

This week's guest is Dr. Maureen Connolly. Connolly is an award winning teacher, a practitioner within sport and physical education (with a sport background in gymnastics, dance, and competitive body building) and helps everyone of every ability perform to their best. We discuss what “Pedagogy” is, the link between teaching and coaching, if teachers are born vs. made, experiences with bad teachers, power dynamics with teaching, what is “discipline”, and… how do you know if you’re a good teacher/coach?

🔥"There's no excuse to be a bad teacher... it's remarkable that so much of it still goes on" 🔥

There is usually a "pop-culture" view of karate (CHOPS and HIYAS) BUT anyone who participates and competes in karate can tell you it's so much more! So what happens when you compare SPORT karate (and point fighting) to other martial art disciplines??

Maeghen Cotterill discusses the perception of sport karate in the media and where it stands within other fighting sports
