The Signs of Hurting with Lisa Terry, Part 1
Lisa Terry is the Owner, CEO and Head Coach at East Bay Gymnastics in Concord, CA. She is my friend and a beautiful advocate for her gymnasts as humans, first!
We discuss the incredible responsibilities of coaches and club owners, noticing the signs of kids struggling, asking poignant questions, listening with patience and supporting what the child needs. As Lisa says, "If my job was just coaching gymnastics, it would be easy." Learn the nuances of how to support and guide young gymnasts as they struggle.
This podcast is for all of us to rethink high performance and young athletes, to advocate for them and to integrate mental health and wellness in gymnastics and all sports. We are increasing our awareness of how to help kids when they’re struggling inside. The key is to learn the signs of hurting, and to live with a higher intention of seeing the gymnasts as humans first.
This is Part 1 of a 2-part episode. Also the first half is the interview with Lisa Terry, and the second half is a thoughtful monologue by Lisa Mitzel with helpful perspectives and advice.
Around minutes 14-16 minutes, we touch on gymnasts’ mental health issues that may be sensitive to some listeners.
