37. Being In Service, Achievement And Overcoming Challenges - My Interviews With NAPF Athletes And Coaches

On today’s show, I will be looking at: dealing with anxiety before a big event, getting back up when we have been knocked down, following your dreams and passions, being in service to others, and dealing with negative self-talk.I do all of this in the context of interviews that I held with pro athletes and coaches at the 20th Annual North American Powerlifting Federation’s Regional Powerlifting Championships. Tune in and listen to these wonderful people talk about getting ready for competition, dealing with defeat, and how they overcame life’s challenges, amongst many other cool and interesting topics.Topics:<br />00:00:00 Intro<br />00:01:34 Recap of last week’s show<br />00:03:23 Discussion today in the context interviews with world class athletes and coaches at the 20thAnnual North American Powerlifting Federation’s (NAPF) Regional Powerlifting Championships<br />00:04:00 Tony McInerney, President and Coach of the Cayman Islands Powerlifting Organization <br />00:04:42 Managing anxiety and nerves <br />00:08:56 Dealing with knock backs <br />00:12:01 Being in service to others <br />00:13:54 Dealing with negative self-talk<br />00:17:14 Going to the gym and using exercise as a way of managing daily stress and struggles <br />00:18:35 Claire Rafferty, Cayman Islands competitor            <br />00:22:40 James Green, Paradise Pump, Cayman Islands<br />00:27:33 Jeremy Owen, the Technical Director and Head Coach of the Jamaica Powerlifting Senior Team<br />00:33:07 Nicolas Parra, 74 Kilogram Junior Lifter, Team Canada<br />00:39:14 Tony McInerney, President and Coach of the Cayman Islands Powerlifting Organization<br />00:49:24 Cayman Islands Powerlifting Organization's contact details<br />00:50:32 Conclusions Online resources:<br />North American Powerlifting Federation: https://www.powerlifting-napf.com<br />Paradise Pump: https://www.paradisepump.com<br />Tuff Fitness: https://tufffitnessja.comNote:<br />Whilst this show is about raising mental health awareness, I am not a medical doctor and am not qualified to give mental health advice.
