Very profound points in the first couple minutes. I’ve seen so many athletes burn out due to their parents being so result oriented early on.
I agree 100%! I coach professional athletes and now working with younger adults I see outcomes as an addiction in many cases. What's fascinating to me is how anti-climatic "wins" become when you focus solely on outcomes and not enjoying the process.
I’m 62 and I’m just learning this for myself, for my own quality of life. Thank you, thank you for putting it so simply and so compassionately.
It's one of the ironies of life that we only really start learning and truly understanding what life is about and 'how to live it' when we are comparatively old. I look back and think how much time I wasted. But, I also look forward, even with the restricted horizon of time and the vagaries of life, and think how much time I actually have. For every ten years of wasted time a year of living fruitfully, beautifully can more than make up for the waste - in fact make it all worth while.
Beautifully put. Just beautiful 🙋🏻♀@@bitchoflivingblah
I don't know what ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great Ted talk. She explained the topic of finding out who you are and your values which is not really talked about enough in sports. She then gave a very applicable method that would help to give an athlete the edge.
So for young aspiring athlete's (in my swimming case), we should think "i want to swim for an hour a day and i want to be able to beat my personal best every third month" instead of "i need to be able to swim 50M in less than 30 seconds or else I'll fail".
(Something along those lines)
Yes 👍
Thank you Janne.
My son is a track field athlet 800m-6000m.Awesome talk.
Thank you.
I loved this talk. It's not all about parenting. It's brutal truth about being athlete.( so big issue) many people don't talk about.
I was elite performer at least I wanted to be ultimate warrior. I learned about how to be best in everyway. But in the end I lost myself. I stopped loving myself.
Talk was very helpful in the overall philosophy of a athletes' life. Family helps build the athlete and teaching the enjoyment of the process and winning through doing your best will be helpful to all athlete but especially elite athletes. I wish that African American parents had the time, thoughtfulness and money to hire a sports psychologist but many don't and they may make some mistakes along the way for their elite athletes. Watching the video and investing in a sports psychologist just like you do with a doctor would be helpful because a person or athlete is a combination of: mind (sport psychology), body (performance & coaching) and spirit (intangibles, meditation and prayer).
Very good transferable points for all of us. Enjoy the journey x
Excellent talk. Expressing what really matters in the world of competitive sports. Finding out who you are, and who do you want to be as opposed to what you are.
Very well spoken it helps guide young ones going into the right direction
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. You delivered an incredible presentation from a teaching standpoint.
I will now be watching this video like prescription since i keep on loosing this beautiful concept and always finds myself under pressure because of the result oriented approach,its not easy to break from a fixed mindset .
This ted talk was so good i created a new playlist category.
Before you can be something you have to be someone ❤
Underrated Ted talk!
I loved this talk! What questions should we ask as parents then?
Great talk. As a parent, it is totally relevant. Kids need to enjoy the game / Sport and not perform
Very well done talk. One of the better Ted's I've listened to. Simple concept that makes all the sense in the world-esp with the ice luge athletes and their physical inability to practice but a few mins per day while also being required to perform with perfection. This concept alone knocks the 10,000 hours theory out of the water. It also brings visualization out of the realm of woo-woo superstition into scientifically sound advice. Super interesting!
I agree, I have listened to this from start to finish!
Thank you for the inspiration!😊
These are inspirational insights and practical strategies.
As a masters student in sport psychology, coaching science, and athletic development, I deeply appreciate your presneation and focus. I could write a book here... but I look forward to connecting with your work soon!
Amazing and so right
I have never heard this before and it sums up perfectly where I have been going wrong
Super explanation ... Why we only cheer's on winning not on efforts ...??? It's really hard to fixed "fixed mentality"
This is just a great message as parent my self
Thank you, It was simply impressive. I agree with these ideas 👍🏻
Have you written any book? Where can i find it?
so important area to talk about !
THe thing about sports it is easy to delineate what is success: Win or lose. Neglecting the process is valid here.

amazing 👏 😍 😊
As a coach you want to inspire the correct movement patterns
As a parent we want to reward effort
Cheering your child for NOT pulling the brakes is potentially dangerous. One of the prime directives of the unconscious mind is SAFETY. We do not want to change that, so as a parent and coach, we should reward safety, as this is more important than the effort.
I appreciate this talk as it allows me to self reflective over these instinctive things.
IMHO Mental coaches should be part of every coaching team.
Thank you
Good content.
Actually being in ems I know how important mental game is so I'm glad I'm seeking for the right reasons. Hard to get teens to listen to parents. Awsome this is available
*BIG SECRET*
*"You have to become SOMEONE before you can become someTHING."* 7:30
thank you so much for this
Yes
I don’t really get this statement, could you please explain it to me?
@@evanpham1751 *This is a great question. Thank you for asking.*
*Some ONE is by definition singular. Personal growth.*
*Some THING is more than an individual. It is an entity, a legend, a force for change & influence on others & the world around you.*
*Thus, we can't help others until we first help ourselves. First get to know who you are & what your purpose is in life, what your drive is, & only then can you fully understand how you can best assist others.*
*Liberty = Peace & I pray you & your loved ones always enjoy both!* 😉
@@Christian_Prepper thank you very much! I really liked this video talking about mindset and especially result based thinking. These videos are amazing
I want to learn how to not get so mad when we are losing / down points. It’s something that’s always been really hard for me.
It’s taking great genes and making sure their mind is more elite than their body.
12:46 for the 3 step process

Bruh moment
This is a great exploration of the topic. I remember a book with similar content that was life-altering. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight
We tell what it takes. That’s hard
Focus on the journey and be obsessed with the journey. The difference with unfortunately coke down to genetics. Also make the talented kids work for the thing they are clearly naturally great at otherwise it becomes boring. They have to have an incentive to be great.
Wauw
I am 28 and i have learned this so early in my life that the principles and the value of your lige matters. And a recent friend testimony just inpired amd gave me the boast i needed to junp into unknown water and belive that GOD IS my GREATEST SUPPORTER i always tell my learners and the team i coach part time to to trust themsevles anf work in a team.
ThiS is so profound
1- What are the values you want to live by
2- How does these values look like in action
3- Act out those values consistently
Obs: watch the video to understand what this means.
Nice 1.5X

If you will cheer on just trying, how the person will put that extra energy, effort, focus or whatever you can say which is required to win ? Motivating on a failed try is correct but that’s not everything. One needs to get sad on failures so that the urge to get better will arise. Please revert back. Just a thought felt like sharing. No offence to your knowledge
There is alot of points that could of been easily said quicker and more effectively, this is too slow.
I honestly don't think she was clear enough. "Values" are a pretty large topic. What kind of values? Do all values have something relatable to athletics? She really need to show some examples on the screen. I thought she was a very poor speaker.

It's all an accident - all you can do is prepare and do the best you can in the moment
your point being, world tops athlete already put in everything, more pressure become counter productive and useless
simply employ sandwich method of training
Performance enhancements drugs
I know that is what made the REAL difference in the sports I was in! You had to have fairly good genes, but an average guy with PEDs would beat the most dedicated guy without PEDs. I was in strength sports only requiring limited skill, it might be different in golf or archery or something. I have watched several of these sports videos that talk about coaching, training, etc. without mentioning the truth about drugs.
Drugs
Extremely boring
And incorrect…every human being needs an incentive. Talented Athletes can be so good, so quickly that the incentive is lost and they don’t care anymore. Create an incentive. Don’t give it all right away, make them take their talents to another level without them even realizing it.
