The title of today's episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" says it all. I reprise an article from my blog site (truenorthbill.blogspot.com) for an article based upon an interview with Dr. John Dunn with a journalist from the Edmonton Journal. That's followed by a sound bite by sport psychologist Eli Straw on "Mental Skills For Young Athletes" (including some hands-on activities coaches & parents can do with their young athletes). I then chat with a young athlete in the person of my grandson Lucas who shares his thoughts on the soundbite. I conclude this episode with a tribute to the late Jimmy Carter.You may wish to make use of the chapter markers to return to various portions of this episode.

This episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" is an interview with Nick Saturnino of Inuvik, Northwest Territories which is located 200 km. north of The  Arctic Circle. He's a "northern light" in that far north community as he creates youth curling programmes with challenges that most youth co-ordinators may never have to face. Many of those challenges are a result of geography. You will be shocked at the cost of travel in the far north for example and in a community where there are other activities for young people, how does Nick make curling attractive to that demographic? This episode will reveal how he does it! Enjoy!It’s your turn! Send me your thoughts by texting here!

The title of today's episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" says it all. Does your team play to win or does it play not to lose? My friend Leslie Gerard sent another email I felt worthy of sharing. It's about playing a team that you know is more skilled and experienced. I respond to Leslie offering up a way to give your team at least a chance to still win the game. There's a sound bite from the great Michael Jordan you will find most interesting on the topic of winning and losing. I end this episode with an offer for your team to join me for a chat on the topic of your choosing. And, Happy 2025 to you all and thanks for listening! It’s your turn!

In this episode of "A Pane In The Glass Podcast" I use an episode from CNN's excellent podcast series with Dr. Sanjay Gupta ("Chasing Life"). This one was about alcohol and a project with Dr. Jason Kilmer at the University of Washington but it wasn't just another lecture about the negative effects of alcohol. This one is very different and for some, as you will hear me say at closing, will be a cold bucket of water in your face. The episode will be especially significant for high school teens, college students and young adults besides the general public of all ages. Get ready for "Chasing Life"!It’s your turn!
