    PASD Podcast #108 - Sasha Graham on the Athlete's Mindset

    Back in 2020, as the Covid pandemic began, a few of us got together and started a company called Coach Me Strong, an individualized exercise coaching program for people with Parkinson's. One of the first things we said to anyone who called to learn more about Coach Me Strong was, "No matter what you previous career was, now that you are diagnosed with Parkinson's your new career is as a professional athlete." This was not meant to be off-putting but rather to impress that, with Parkinson's, exercise is not an option...the same as with any professional athlete. In this episode Sasha Graham, host of the podcast, Sports Will Save Us All, joins us to reflect on the hundreds of interviews she has done with professional and amateur athletes and coaches about the professional athlete's mindset. Check out her show, Sports Will Save Us All And check out Coach Me Strong

    PASD Microcast #103 – Sherrie Gould, NP, CMRD on Why You Should See a Movement Disorders Clinician

    If you have Parkinson's, should you see a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist? A general neurologist? An advanced practice provider –  nurse practitioner or PA? Or your primary care physician. Although this may seem like an obvious series of questions, in this episode nurse practitioner Sherrie Gould unpacks some of the differences between these medical professionals and some of your options if you are facing a long wait to get an appointment to see a clinician.

    PASD Microcast #102 – Working with Older Athletes with Coach Tracey Jacobs

    When we conceived the topic for this microcast the idea was to talk about the differences for a coach working wth older athletes and younger athletes, or older people with Parkinson's who have to exercise and younger people, with or without Parkinson's, who want to exercise.  However, as the conversation developed, the apparent differences became less and less obvious.  Join Coach Tracey Jacobs, a cyclist having won world and national championships, and Jeff Seckendorf, age 70, coach and world record holder on the bike and Director of Operations at the Parkinson's Association of San Diego, as they unpack this seemingly simple topic.
