PLAYOFF SEASON continues!! Time to do another bracket prediction episode! ;-) This weekend is my own post season tournament so I won't be able to watch these games live, but in this episode I'll tell you all about about the seasons these 8 teams have had this year, players to watch, and if you want a preview of what to expect, I picked a game that is available for streaming for each team that really shows what they're about and what they can do in a close match up. In Cup tournaments, some of these games could go either way and there are opportunities for upsets!

This episode features the return of Coach Dan! This topic is a response to an e-mail from a podcast listener but it may apply to you or someone on your team. Please share with someone who might need a nudge in the right direction. 

A thoughts and feelings episode! One of our podcast listeners whose question I answered in Finding Your Place on the Team followed up with a question that stood out and stuck with me all week...is it worth it? This question can have such a broad scope, this episode is a deep dive into the positives and negatives of being a roller derby skater.

This episode is a recap of the games that took place in Seattle, Washington this past weekend at the International WFTDA Playoffs. There were only TWO upsets all weekend and the closest game was 16 points and I had 13 out of 16 games correct on the bracket. ;-) Plenty of new faces and old faces on rosters and amazing game play to talk about! And I didn't mention it in the episode because I couldn't find it online, but the MVP for the weekend was Klein of Denver Roller Derby, well deserved with 100% lead and 0 points against for the Crime City game and only 2 penalties ALL weekend. My NEW podcast: Tale Wagging now has FOUR episodes available to listen to.

*Apologies for the late upload! I was eagerly awaiting the sports book stats and I think you won't be disappointed. ;-)* PLAYOFF SEASON continues!! Time to do another bracket prediction episode! ;-) I'll tell you all about about the seasons these 12 teams have had this year, players to watch, and if you want a preview of what to expect, I picked a game that is available for streaming for each team that really shows what they're about and what they can do in a close match up. I've got stats for points scored by jammers, jams played by blockers, and what players are or aren't on the roster this weekend...hmmm. *raises eyebrow* There may be less opportunities for upsets this weekend, but we could see some teams that have fallen down in rankings have returns to glory!

I asked and you delivered with questions and messages and I picked the ones I thought would flow nicely together for today's episode. Hopefully I can do more of these in the future. Thank you to everyone who has ever sent in a question or message, I love connecting with you. <3 Today's questions focus on how to level up your game when you want to make a charter, how to fit in when you aren't on the roster yet, and what a travel team coach's place ought to be in a league. If you enjoyed this episode, feel free to send in YOUR question for next time! :-)

This episode, I was joined by Grant Porteous, Owner/Life Coach & Consultant at Intentional Life Coaching & Consulting to learn about how to conquer and change self limiting beliefs. It turns out there is a LOT of science behind our ability as humans to rewire our brains and set ourselves on new neural pathways to success. We form 90% of our beliefs by age 7 based on experience. You have an experience, you assess the experience, reinforce it with an emotion, and come to a decision or belief about the experience which then becomes wired into your brain and informs your other experiences going forward depending on how impactful it was. Over time, you will see more and more experiences as aligning with your already developed belief and reinforcing it and not notice the evidence that goes against your belief. (Ex: "I'm no good at relationships; Dogs don't like me; Things work out for other people but not for me; If you want something done right, you must do it yourself, etc.) But NO MORE! It doesn't have to BE this way! We are going to cover FOUR STEPS to replace negative beliefs that limit us with positive beliefs that will allow action and give us room to grow and learn. We also talk a bit about visualization as an important way to cement that new vision of what you want in your mind. Have a question for Grant? E-mail grant@grantporteous.com.
