Having written her thesis on this topic, Lindsay accounts her passion for it on being an athlete herself. Her experience as a competitive basketball player combined with the accumulated knowledge from research and client experience makes her the perfect source to address these issues.
This episode introduces the upcoming conversations that will support athletes in having healthy relationships with their bodies. The conversations will be based on the previously covered premises of dismantling the toxicity in sports and building a fresh and motivating culture. As a sports therapist who noticed the recurring themes of body images in sports, Lindsay felt a moral obligation to shield athletes from these issues. She also plans to educate coaches, caregivers, and sports supporters on communicating effectively with athletes.
The talk evolves to cover the implications of the language of the body in performance settings. This includes how coaches try to motivate players with fear-inducing comments and the long-term impacts it has on them. Mat and Lindsay open up about their own experiences in competitive sports and share how that impacted their relationships with their bodies. The two provide varying perspectives as they experienced opposites on the body shape spectrum. This made for an interesting discussion that you will be glad to have been a part of.
