In this episode, we explore the emotional cost of elite athletic culture through the lens of Shane, Ilya and Scott.Building on last week’s episode, the conversation moves beyond performance and into identity, intimacy, and emotional survival. We question why physical closeness between male athletes encouraged, while emotional vulnerability feels almost impossible. We explore why can Shane and Ilya fight, joke, and touch each other with ease and yet struggle to actually say how they feel.Drawing on her experience coaching young male athletes, Lizzy breaks down how sport teaches men to process emotion through aggression, competition, and physicality, while often neglecting emotional awareness altogether. Together, we discuss everything from performance anxiety and coping strategies to toxic competitiveness, role models, therapy in sport, and the psychological differences between Shane’s controlled overthinking and Ilya’s instinct-driven intensity.The next episode of the podcast will be published on Sunday 3rd May at 10am (GMT).Join our Long Game Podcast Book Club on Fable to read along with us each week.: https://fable.co/club/long-game-pod-book-club-with-long-game-pod-349252537194?invite=fc285de0-86ea-45c4-ab3f-8dcc82b8cad8&referralID=4tVUzsxlCCFind us on instagram: longgame.heatedrivalry.podWrite to us: longgamepod2481@gmail.comFind Lizzy:The shelf aware podcastInstagram: @ shelfawarepodcast and @ lizzyb_readsFind Declan: Instagram: declan712Tiktok: declanmccallion1Find Silvan:Instagram: SilvatesTiktok: silvates1Listen to Silvan’s ‘Silvates’ podcast here:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/silvates/id1531620495Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2xMX59teVzpf6M86Cv7WG9?si=016f5477aed14697Listen to the Podcast on:Apple podcast: Spotify podcast: Amazon podcast: Watch it on youtube:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/DN_mX9ZAD_eslaN34U95xiE9Y3jVNruZvQrbm9QRIUo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNzBj/MDc5MDA4MWVmMGFi/NGM0NzA2NTk5MzEz/ODVjYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
