In the lead up to the Olympics I was asked to share a few thoughts on mindsets conducive to high achievement. Here's the interview: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra… @ShiftNB Growth, Stress is Enhancing, and Gain-Focused Mindsets discussed.

Best of luck to all at tonight’s NHL draft!

There is something so special about watching people achieve a life-long dream. A dream that all odds are against them to achieve, but they go for it anyways. Absolutely love seeing the Stanley cup get awarded!

@drcherylmac Congratulations🥳🥳🥳🥳

If someone came over and organized everything, it'd be great, right?! What if they put everything in a new place (although organized)... Great intentions, but ultimately not helpful. It's like our brain. Appreciate it's efforts, but say no thanks when thoughts aren't helpful.

@OldScottie @DanAbrahams77 Thanks for sharing our publication 😊

@DanAbrahams77 Cracking paper here… tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Brief thoughts on self-talk for sport: -self-talk can be motivational and instructional -challenge-oriented self-talk asks players to acknowledge and accept negative thoughts, then engage in motivational or instructional self-talk E.g. "I'm exhausted, but I can keep going"

I've been reflecting on what to consider when selecting interventions/skills. I've identified 3 Es to consider. How ____(insert E)____ is the intervention: Effective. Efficient. Enjoyable.

Happy to share our most recent publication! Important points to consider: 1. We cannot assume measures for the general population apply to athletes. 2. There is a need for transdiagnostic mental health research involving athletes. doi.org/10.1123/jcsp.2…

Awwwwww 🥰

Happy to see our research on anxiety sensitivity and physical activity being featured here! psypost.org/2023/10/indivi…

The speech at my grad made me think of what message I would share. My thoughts: - The importance of relationships, both for personal and professional success. -Balancing both the art (effective delivery of info) and science (having effective info to share) in your pursuits.

@kylebergh_ Thanks, Kyle!

Game time!

Avoiding exercise? Anxiety sensitivity is the fear of anxiety-related sensations like increased heart rate, shortness of breath, or brain fog. Since many of these symptoms occur when exercising, those high in anxiety sensitivity tend to workout less (DeWolfe et al., 2023). [1/3]

If it rains for a day in ______ (*insert your favourite sunny destination*), you don't say it's a rainy place. It's a sunny place that rained. So why after a "bad" shift/game, you may say you're a "bad" player? Great players have "bad" shifts and sunny places have rainy days.
