		<description><![CDATA[Podium Sports Journal&#8217;s Podcast of the Week &#8211; An interview with Drs. Noah Gentner and Vanessa Shannon by Dr. Stephen Walker, CC-AASP This podcast was the second of a two part podcast with Drs. Noah Gentner and Vanessa Shannon on qualitative research they conducted with Olympic Gold medalists from the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece.  The interview was given at the Association for Applied Sport Psychology annual conference in Louisville, Kentucky October 2007. This study evolved over a number of years in a series of interviews focused on identifying and describing the mental techniques and preparation strategies used by world champions. The key exploration focused on how these premier athletes differed from those less successful athletes in their preparation and mental conditioning.  A total of nine male and female athletes from six different sports comprised the sample for this qualitative research effort. Some of the techniques employed included self-talk, attention cues, process focused physical moves, smart &#8220;techniques&#8221;, short-term and long-term goals. Dr. Noah Gentner is a sport psychologist consultant from the Georgia Southern University and Dr. Vanessa Shannon is a coaching education specialist at West Virginia University.  Both were students of Dr. Craig Wrisberg  and Leslie Fisher Gould at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Stephen Walker, PhD, CC-AASP Podium&#8217;s Podcast of the Week: An Interview with Jesse Michel &#8211; West Virginia University Coaches have varying expectations of their team captains.  Some will follow the adage of  &#8216;expect nothing be prepared for everything&#8217; while others will want their team captain to serve as an assistant coach.  Leadership is a variable that can distinguish a great sports captain.  But what does that look like on a collegiate team? Jesse Michel, Dr. Greg Shelley from Ithaca College and Dr. Noah Gentner from Georgia Southern University collaborated on a qualitative research study of the behaviors most recognized as defining a great team captain.  At any level this interview will prove illuminating, and offer some guidelines useful to both coaches and team captains alike.

The results of this study provided an empirical basis which has served to clarify several myths often related to youth sport experiences. Focusing on the purpose of sport in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Dr. Stephen Walker &#8211; CC-AASP Podium&#8217;s Podcast of the Week &#8211; an Interview with Goran Kentta Dr. Goran Kentta is a sport scientist working with the Swedish School for Health and Sport Sciences in Stockholm.  He has had the opportunity to interview and work with a number of elite athletes and embarked on a qualitative study assessing the role, perception and implementation of  &#8220;Recovery&#8221;  in training amongst coaches and athletes at the elite level. Dr. Kentta&#8217;s research bears additional fruit when juxtaposed with the steep cost of making the same mistake in developing a training regimen that neglects the necessity for recovery as an integral part of becoming a great athlete. It becomes clear that an athlete does not need to have recurring injuries, or poor nutritional support to suffer the sometimes career ending fallout from &#8220;overtraining syndrome.&#8221; Listen to yet another point of view, based on case studies that provide compelling evidence of the need for coaches and athletes to clearly understand their training programs and why it is so important to know &#8220;how&#8221; to recover and &#8220;when&#8221; to recover.

		<description><![CDATA[by Stephen Walker, PhD, CC-AASP What Happened to Jenny Barringer? Legendary basketball coach John Wooden once said, &#8220;Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.&#8221;   The first time I read that I had to go over it a couple times to really let it sink in.  Jenny Barringer is such a person.  Heralded Olympian and American record holder in the 3,000m Women&#8217;s Steeplechase Barringer was heavily favored to win the 2009 NCAA Women&#8217;s Cross Country Championships.  Barringer had a misstep this past Monday when she faded during the last 3rd of the race dropping from the lead to finish in 163rd place.  Holy Moly! What happened? What Every Gifted Athlete and Coach Should Learn From Barringer&#8217;s Experience Following her story after the race and listening to her description of what was happening to her at mile four, its pretty clear to me that Barringer was feeling the unfortunate effects of &#8220;Overtraining Syndrome.&#8221;  Barringer reported feeling &#8220;light headed&#8221; even at the start, but that sensation intensified shortly before dropping out of the lead.  She described the experience of losing her sense of physical attunement as if a huge &#8220;weight had landed on my shoulders.&#8221;  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Stephen Walker, PhD, CC-AASP Podium&#8217;s Podcast of the Week &#8211; Reflections on Applied Consulting work with Teams While working on their Master&#8217;s thesis at California State University &#8211; Fullerton, Ian Connole and Kristen Frevert  had the opportunity to consult with high school baseball teams on both ends of the spectrum in terms of success.  Those that were perennial power-houses with multiple championships under their belt &#8211; and &#8211; teams that had failed to win a game in their division over an entire season. Reflecting on their experiences Connole and Frevert came up with a number of insightful and helpful guidelines for consultants, coaches and trainers who might find themselves working amongst teams with this sort of disparate success. Ironically, the mental skill most required to keep successful teams from losing their focus and becoming vulnerable &#8211; was the same skill incorporated to give a proper focus to those teams stuck in a slump.  &#8220;The Power of Now&#8221; holds new meaning to them after this experience and this Podcast shares how.
