    Ep. 116 - Robert Paylor - The Hinge Moment of a Broken Neck

    At the 2017 Collegiate Rugby National Championship, Robert was expecting to win a national title. Early in the game, he was put in a neck lock by an opposing player. What should’ve been called as a foul instead left him paralyzed from a broken neck. When the doctors told him he would never walk again, he thought to himself, ”you obviously don’t know me.”

    10:22 “It’s like I was in a completely different life.”  
    16:17 Only one play that broke his neck.
    17:43 Always choosing forgiveness.

    43:11 “Compared to what?” 
    46:54 Maintaining patient and active trust.
    50:18  Don’t keep doing life the same.

Insightful and applicable

Dr. Rob and his guests jump right into the meet of what really happens in sports and how to deal with it. I always walk away with a few new tips or tools to apply right away with my athletes and in my golf game. As a sports psychology consultant, I’m always looking for one more story or one more tool to help that athlete, and Dr. Rob’s Podcast never disappoints.

Amazing for Athletes!

After listening to this episode; 1. I want to listen to the rest!!! And 2. It was great for an athlete to listen to. Not only athletes in general, but athletes who have struggled with injury themselves. I loved that Donita talked about the word “can’t” and referred to it as a cuss word. A few notes I took that stood out the most to me were the fact that its not about the setback, but about the comeback. When getting injured, that is all and athlete worries about until they understand that there is so much more ahead of them. This leads me to my next note of understanding how an injury can change your approach when you’re an athlete. Personally, I have had one injury that ended my junior season of softball, but when you have a “go-getter” mentality, it is easy to remind yourself that you have so much ahead of you and when you’re able to get back at it, you go as hard as your body lets you, but also as hard as you can to be even better than you were before mentally and physically. Something else I thought was neat that Donita said was when she was in Kentucky, she mentioned the dogs and how she couldn’t stop because she didn’t know if they would come at her or not. This was good for her mentally because she had to tell herself to keep going. I think a good analogy to this is when you’re an athlete, you have people from the outside trying to tear you down and ruin your mental, but from an athlete’s standpoint I think this is so encouraging and people should use others like this to their advantage. In conclusion, GREAT podcast, and I want to listen to more!!!!
