Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 12/12/20 - 2X Olympic Gold Medalist, Jamie Anderson on Skin Care

Rick talks to a two-time Olympic Gold Medalist about taking care of your skin and more.

Jamie Anderson joins Rick:




Ahead of the cold winter months, Olay Body is teaming up with professional snowboarder and Olympic 2x gold medalist, Jamie Anderson, to celebrate the journeys of fearless women that work outdoors and brave the harshest winter conditions daily. Inspired by the stories of women, like Jamie, whose career paths keep them outdoors despite barriers of a pandemic and winter weather, they have created the term Winter Warrior to celebrate these unsung heroes that continuously show up for themselves, their careers, and their communities.

Talking Skin care with Olay:


"It's important for women like Jamie who spend their days and nights outside in low temperatures to protect their skin with not only warm clothing but also products that are formulated with ingredients that moisturize to improve the skin barrier," said Dr. Sheila Farhang, board-certified dermatologist. "I always recommend Olay’s Premium Body Wash to my patients during the winter because it improves skin three times better than the leading competitor, boosts the skin's moisture barrier, and improves skin dryness."


Anderson has built a reputation as one of the best female snowboarders in the world. Known for her snowboarding style and strength, Jamie gave the United States a gold-medal sweep in the debut of Olympic Slopestyle competition at the 2014 Sochi Games. She soared to victory in a near flawless run to make history for the United States as the first-ever women’s Olympic Slopestyle Gold Medalist. In addition to her many career wins, Jamie has been giving back to the snowboarding community through her participation in a multitude of camps as well as her active hand in non-profits that promote mindful purchasing and charities assisting those in need all around the world.

Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 12/5/20 - Alain Cohen of NeuroTennis

Rick talks with Alain Cohen,CEO of NeuroTennis this week about their smart tennis wristbands.

This is new tech in tennis. Two key differences make this wearable technology so different from other smart tennis devices on the market.

Alain explains:


 

“One major difference is that NeuroTennis coaches you while you play,” said NeuroTennis CEO, Alain Cohen.

“Other tennis trackers just report statistics on speed, spin, and stroke counts, without much actionable information. NeuroTennis, on the other hand, provides coaching instructions that are synchronized with the rhythm of your hitting, as you play.”

 

Cohen stated that the second revolutionary aspect of the technology is that it wirelessly connects the wristbands of two players across the court, in order to pinpoint the timing of audible coaching instructions, precisely when your opponent hits the ball.

Former world No. 1 Mats Wilander was an integral part of designing NeuroTennis. “To reach the next level, I believe in modifying your game and not just measuring it,” Wilander said. “I believe that to reach your full potential, you need to train your brain just as hard as your skills and fitness.”

Features and benefits of NeuroTennis include:

Two player or solo mode - NeuroTennis is most typically used in a two-player mode, meaning that the sensors in each device communicate with each other, across the court.

NeuroTennnis App - The feature-rich app allows you to select lessons and drills from an extensive library designed by world-class coaches, including Mats Wilander. Taking it to the next level, you or your coach can easily customize content to specifically address your goals. Available for iPhone and Android.

Game Modifying Technology - While other wearable tennis products just measure physical results, like speed and spin, NeuroTennis is about ingraining better habits and accessing your tennis skills consistently so you can raise your game while you practice. Training at higher levels leads to playing at higher levels.
 
NeuroTennis is available now at NeuroTennis.com and sells as a pair for $269. For more information on how to train your brain and raise your game, visit NeuroTennis.com.

Limpert Tech "SullyCast" on ALT 105.7 and iHeartRadio 11/28/20 - Dr. Jason Selk, Sports Mental Toughness and Relentless Solution Focus

Rick is joined by Dr. Jason Selk this week to talk sports mental toughness and his book, Relentless Solution Focus.

Have a listen:

Dr. Selk has a unique process that helps athletes win World Series' and businesses increase productivity up to 30 percent.

“The most successful people are those who are mentally tough.  They choose thoughts that biologically improve their quality of life.  In this book, you will learn to achieve what you never imagined; and when things do go wrong, you will know how to deal with them simply and effectively,” explains performance coach Dr. Jason Selk in RELENTLESS SOLUTION FOCUS: Train Your Mind To Conquer Stress, Pressure, and Underperformance (McGraw-Hill; January 5, 2021), written with his associate Dr. Ellen Reed.

Twenty years ago, Dr. Selk set out to combine what he knew about cognitive neuroscience, brain chemistry, and human performance to create a training method to show people exactly how to develop mental toughness. After years of research with clinical patients and having worked with thousands of people considered “the best,” he developed Relentless Solution Focus (RSF).  It’s a three-step process that has since been proven to help people win World Series, Super-Bowls, National Championships, Olympic gold medals, and increase business productivity by up to 30 percent year over year.

Mentally tough people actually choose the thoughts that cause them to take actions that lead to positive outcomes, although this is contrary to the way humans are hardwired. “Over millennia, our very survival relied on our ability to be alert to potential dangers,” says Dr. Selk.   That is, we are pre-disposed to look for problems – what he calls “Problem-Centric Thought.”  This negativity bias significantly limits our potential and increases stress, pressure, and underperformance.

By developing a Relentless Solution Focus (RSF) – which he and Ellen Reed have taught to tens of thousands of clients – people will not only be prepared for adversity, but will be able to thrive in it.  This mind-training regimen makes it possible to reframe every problem into an opportunity for positive, productive action.  The three-step process includes:

Recognize – First, recognize when negative thinking has set in.  The RSF process teaches people to be alert to negative thoughts, and to use the onset of this thinking to create positive behavior change.  This is critical because what anyone focuses on expands.  Focusing on problems makes them larger and less manageable.

Replace – Once people recognize their problem-focused thoughts, it is essential to replace the negative thinking with more positive thoughts.  The key is to do it quickly—within sixty seconds or less.  To do this, people must ask themselves one simple question:  What is one thing I can do right now that could make this better?  Dr. Selk advises using what he calls a “The Mental Chalkboard” to ensure that people focus on solutions.  Fortunately, just as focusing on problems causes them to expand, focusing on solutions has the same effect.

Retrain – “No muscle becomes strong without training, developing mental strength requires training, as well,” explains Dr. Selk.  Although negative thinking is hardwired, the brain has the ability to change.  RELENTLESS SOLUTION FOCUS provides specific tools – including the Mental Workout and Success Logs – that will enable readers to train their minds in only three minutes per day.

“Adversity itself isn’t controllable. What is always controllable is what you do about it.  The mentally tough zero in on what can be done—the solution side of the mental chalkboard,” asserts Dr. Selk.  RELENTLESS SOLUTION FOCUS will enable anyone to put his remarkable process to work for themselves

Dr. Jason Selk ,one of the nation’s premier performance coaches, has worked with business titans and superstar athletes. As Director of Mental Training for the St. Louis Cardinals, he played an important role in the team’s first World Series victory in more than twenty years in 2006, and their second in 2011. Dr. Selk, who earned a Doctorate in counseling and sport psychology at the University of Missouri, is the bestselling author of Executive Toughness, 10-Minute Toughness, Organize Tomorrow Today, and Lead Any Team to Win.
