Welcome to another episode of The Sporting Change Podcast!
In today’s episode, we dive deep into the "us vs. them" mentality often seen in sports and how it permeates other aspects of life, especially regarding diversity. Think about the sport that you love and the team that you support - Say the Calgary Flames. Now imagine seeing someone wearing an Oilers Jersey while you are at the Flames games… What are you thinking about them? What are people around you saying to them?
Today’s conversation will also explore the complex intersection of team identity and individuality. How do we balance the sense of belonging that comes with being part of a team while still celebrating our unique selves?
We’re thrilled to welcome back Alayne Hing (she/her), founder of Elite Edge and a Mental Performance Consultant. With over 17 years of experience working with Olympians, professionals, and amateur athletes, Alayne brings invaluable insights into the mental aspects of competition and collaboration.
Join us as we get a little nerdy, unpacking the layers of team culture and psychological safety. Whether you’re a sports enthusiast or simply curious about the psychology behind teamwork, this episode is for you!
