    The Psychology of Parent Resilience - Devesh Patel & Dr Julie Johnston | #246

    Devesh Patel is a sports psychology researcher whose PhD uncovered the first framework for parental resilience in youth sport. Julie Johnstone is his academic supervisor and a sport psychologist with decades of experience working with athletes, coaches, and families in elite development environments. Why do so many parents struggle to stay composed on the sidelines? Why does watching training sessions make things worse, not better? And what is it that separates the parents who help their child thrive in sport from the ones who quietly make it harder? Expect to learn why parental resilience in youth sport had never been studied before this research, what the official definition of parental resilience is and why it matters for the athlete too, the four psychosocial assets that make up parental resilience, why maintaining perspective is the hardest thing parents are asked to do — and what makes it so easy to lose, how the highlight reel on social media is actively destroying parental optimism, why the non-linear progression of a young athlete creates so much panic, what the "optimism jar" strategy is and why it works, why the parent-coach relationship breaks down and how to fix it, what adaptability really means for a sporting parent and why holding on too long backfires, why resilient parents produce resilient athletes through the mirroring effect, four practical strategies parents can use right now to build their own resilience, and much more. 00:00 Why Parental Resilience in Youth Sport Hadn't Been Studied 01:30 Modern Pressures Making Parents Less Resilient 04:50 Who Was Studied — Sports, Stages, and Methods 08:25 Defining Parental Resilience 12:50 Asset 1: Maintaining Perspective 14:40 Why Perspective Is So Hard to Keep 18:45 Do Certain Sports Create Harder Parenting Challenges? 24:00 Asset 2: Maintaining Optimism 25:20 The Non-Linear Progression Trap 31:45 Highlight Reels, Instant Gratification and the Comparison Trap 37:40 Asset 3: Perceiving and Utilizing Social Support 39:15 The Coach-Parent Dynamic — Where It Goes Wrong 43:45 Asset 4: Adaptability 46:35 The Danger of Never Letting Go 52:35 How Resilient Parents Create Resilient Athletes 53:25 4 Practical Strategies to Build Parental Resilience 58:35 The Challenge-Support Matrix for Parents 01:05:50 Where to Find Devesh and Julie's Work

    #242 - Julianna Pillemer - The Dark Side of Going Viral Nobody Talks About

    Julianna Pillemer is an assistant professor at NYU Stern School of Business whose research explores creativity, authenticity, and the psychology of online audiences. Why do creators spiral after going viral? Why does reading every comment eventually break people? And is "just be authentic" actually good advice — or is it a trap? Expect to learn what "audience entanglement" is and why it changes everything a creator makes, what a "chamber of despair" feels like and why it's more common than anyone admits, why the algorithm acts like a co-author who keeps hijacking your work, the three strategies creators use to move from dysfunctional to functional entanglement, why the same DM can destroy one creator and inspire another, what rage bait and the manosphere have to do with audience entanglement, the difference between audience capture and audience entanglement, why "just be yourself" is far more complicated than it sounds, what alter egos like Kobe's Mamba Mentality and Beyoncé's Sasha Fierce reveal about authenticity, how to think about authenticity as evolution rather than a fixed state, and what "strategic authenticity" actually means in practice, and much more. 00:00 What Is Audience Entanglement?  01:20 When It Starts: The Viral Moment  02:45 Dysfunctional Entanglement 05:05 Gaming the Algorithm: Battling Platform Volatility  06:15 The Hate Comment Trap  07:05 Does It Affect All Creators Equally?  14:45 Three Strategies to Escape Dysfunctional Entanglement  19:55 Why Algorithm Changes Reset Your Progress  24:40 Same DM, Two Reactions: The Mindset Difference  37:30 Rage Bait, the Manosphere & Audience Capture  39:40 Audience Capture vs Audience Entanglement  49:25 What "Authenticity" Actually Means  51:25 The Alter Ego Strategy 01:05:30 Authenticity as Evolution, Not a Fixed State  01:07:35 Strategic Authenticity: Practical Advice  01:08:40 Where to Find Julianna's Work

    #239 - Dr Phil Clarke - Why People Get The Yips

    Dr Phil Clarke is a performance psychologist and researcher. Why do athletes lose control of skills they’ve mastered for years? Why does pressure turn automatic movements into chaos? And can you actually train your way out of the yips? Expect to learn what the yips really are (and how they differ from choking), why perfectionism and fear of judgement make athletes more vulnerable, how psychological and physiological systems interact under pressure, why your internal narrative determines how severe the yips become, how teammates can help or worsen the problem, why pressure training needs to be personalised, how athletes can build a mental “utility belt” to stay composed, and why the yips appear not just in sport, and much more. 00:00 What Are the Yips?
