Nyad (2023) and sport psychology with Monica Chernoff, AMFT

Movie House Sport Psychology

"I just want to say three things. One, never, ever give up. Two, you're never too old to chase your dreams. And three, it looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team." Friend of the show, Monica Chernoff, AMFT and I talk about the inspirational and Oscar nominated movie, Nyad. We talked about the bond that Diana Nyad (Annette Bening) and Bonnie Stoll (Jodie Foster) share as long time friends, athlete/coach, and older lesbians. We talked about Diana Nyad's mental strength as she endures a grueling swim, stormy sea, jellyfish stings, and hallucinations. We talked about the sacrifices made by Nyad and her team. We also discuss the important issue of sexual abuse in sport.
