In the Sauce Talk Podcast, I’m exploring the relationships between athletics and life at large, and how the mind and mental training relates to sports and life. I’m interested in how playing and coaching sports can be in service of a healthy, productive life. I’m also interested in the transition from youth to adulthood, and how difficult this is for myself and for so many other modern young people. I also integrate my interest in meditation into the conversations, and explore how mental training can enhance an athletic career and a life.
I interview athletes, coaches, meditation teachers and practitioners, and other wise, interesting people, trying to explore these questions, so that me and my listeners can reflect on new ways of thinking that can hopefully enhance our lives.
