Today's podcast is with a great friend and mentor Dr. Tiffany Jones. Dr. Tiff is a Sports Performance Psychology Consultant and has worked with numerous athletes from basketball, fencing, and hockey teams to the U-20 USA Women's World Cup Champion soccer team. Dr. Tiff and I dive into a lot of topics surrounding injury recovery including: - how getting a book from her Dad written by Dr Shane Murphy sparked her love for psychology - how to handle the emotions around return to sport- why EDUCATING people about injury recovery is so important including: - the chemical withdrawal you go through post injury- why words matter - pupp list - and we have a very real conversation about alcohol and how it can effect your recovery - and how it impacted mine - some good ways to deal with the pressure we put on ourselves or feel externally- the positive benefits of staying engaged with your team during an injury and how a day off can mean various things- why she doesn’t like the word potential - why having some fierce conversations will be tough but it will never make it worse - how it is so important to get sleep and feed your body right. Every little thing helps not only just physically but mentally too - Control what you can control - manage your attitude and body language For more information on Dr. Tiff, check out her website here: http://www.xfactorperformance.com
