  Ep. 107: The Catch-22 of Unplugging

  May 15, 202652 minS7

  In this episode, Keith and Tim continue their explorations of attention. Specifically, how divided our attention can be, and how difficult it often is to resist the various pulls to engage (emails, texts, social media, etc). They consider what realistic boundaries could look like, whether it is possible to avoid the "costs" of unplugging, and potential implications for performance.

  Ep. 105: Can I "Not Care" About Winning a Gold Medal?

  Apr 17, 202654 minS7

  In this episode, Keith and Tim discuss the expansive coverage of Alysa Liu's recent gold medal figure skating win in the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. She seems to have found and embraced a mentality that is very much aligned with mindfulness, but how well is the media actually grasping the nuances she's describing? And, what can we learn about motivation, achievement, and competing without "carrying" the pressure of it? Social Media Mentioned: Instagram: @mindful_sport_podcast , @mspe_institute , @mindfulsportdoc YouTube: Mindful Sport Performance Podcast Websites Mentioned: www.mindfulsportperformance.org Zen in the Zone Books and Articles Mentioned Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement Alysa Liu Walked Away from Skating. Her Fresh Outlook When she Returned Helped her win Olympic Gold *Clarification: During our discussion, Tim mentioned the concept of mudita or sympathetic joy and identified it as one of the Pāramitās in Buddhism, but it is actually one of the Brahmaviharas. These are similar concepts in that the former refers to a set of 6 (or 10 depending on the sect of Buddhism) noble virtues while the latter refers to a set of 4 "sublime attitudes." While these different sets are distinct, both represent intentional ways of being or practices that can help reduce the suffering of self and others.
