Coaches Corner Episode 17- "The Pain Teacher"
In today's episode of Coaches Corner, Morgan and Darryl further discuss Darryl's article on The Pain Teacher. We all have faced injuries at some point in our life, and let's face it, they suck. Taking time off is hard when you've been working your butt off trying to pursue your version of excellence, and now it feels like you've taken two steps in the wrong direction.
Sometimes an injury is inevitable, but sometimes our body (The Pain Teacher) is telling us to slow down and we ignore the signs and make things worse.
"I called it the great Pain Teacher for a reason, because it teaches you about yourself. So, as long as you don't run from it and you approach pain with a curious mindset and wanting to understand more about your body, I think you'll learn something about yourself."
If you haven't read the article yet, I highly suggest you give it a read before you jump into the podcast. But without further ado, we hope you enjoy the episode, and if you have any questions about pain, mindfulness or meditation talk to Darryl at Blended Athletics. He doesn't have social media, but you can find him most days in The Loft.

Coaches Corner Episode 16 - "Lets Talk About Habits!"
*** New Episode ***
In this episode of Coaches Corner, Morgan sits down with Dave and talks about habits. The objective of creating habits is to be able to make small changes to your day-to-day life, that will end up creating a lasting impact over a long period of time.
Individuals often think that habits develop overnight, and I’m sure in some cases they do, but statically they take between 18 - 254 days to develop. On average, it takes 66 days! The next question individuals face is, “when should you start a habit?” - and that depends based on the person! For example, Christmas is normally a difficult time to start a habit, whereas now would be a great time to start, as March break is ending - but again, it's entirely up to the individual.
Here are some key points from the episode:
• If you want to start your journey towards health and wellness start with water.
• If your attempt to create a habit fails, try again
• If you are going to start a new habit, start now! It is the perfect time.
There are two books that Dave recommends if you want to learn more about habits: Atomic Habits by James Clear and The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. If you really want to make some changes in your life, pick up one of these books!
