    6. Athletic Identity: The Demands of High-Performance Sport & The Importance of Understanding Our “Why”

    THE SEASON 1 FINALE!!!!  Building on the episode on teaching life skills through sport, today we’re discussing identity and how high-performance sport shapes the identity of athletes.  I discuss my experiences grappling with identity, the difference between a high-performance mindset & a high-performance based identity, and how important it is to understand your “why”.  Your support has meant the world to me this season!🥹💛 References:  Haslam, C et al “‘I’m more than my sport’: Exploring the dynamic processes of identity change in athletic retirement” Psychology of Sport & Exercise 2024.Chun, Y; Wendling, E; Sagas, M “Identity Work in Athletes: A Systematic Review of the Literature” Sports 2023.Playing with Purpose: Athletic Identity and Relationships in SportsLet’s connect!

    5. Self-Advocacy (Pt 2): Creating A Safe Space for Disagreement & a Willingness to Admit Being Wrong

    We're back from the break! Today we pick up where we left the conversation on self-advocacy.  Trying to cultivate certain skills requires creating room for young athletes to learn and practice those skills. I talk about the lessons I've learnt coaching my girls, as well as the things I've experienced as a player.  This is the episode I'm most proud to have published so far. Your support means the world to me! Let’s connect! IG: @amberchloeamor Email: amberchloeamor@gmail.com

    4. Self-Advocacy (pt1): Raising Kids to Have a Voice Ft. My Mother

    How wonderful would it be to live in a world where everything runs smoothly? Where your experience is tailored to your exact specifications? I would love to live in that world!  Things don’t always go as planned, or run as they should. Either you accept that or change what you cannot accept. This week’s episode lays the foundation for delving into self-advocacy.  I chat to my first guest on the show - my Mother - and we discuss raising kids to know they have a voice, how to use it and allowing them room to solve their own problems.  Resources for this episode: 1. http://scoressport.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Life-skills-development-through-sport-current-status-and-future-directions-1.pdf 2. https://nfhs.org/stories/self-advocacy-helping-student-athletes-address-issues-on-their-own Let’s connect!
