Sports Pschotherapy with Michael Ceely

(Reuploaded from Sept 13th following host site technical errors) When we think of professional athletes, we imagine the fearless performers on giant fields, filled with determination and lacking any self-doubt. But they are people just like you and me, with many experiencing mental challenges which impact their performance. My guest today is Michael Ceely. Michael is a Licensed Psychotherapist working primarily with athletes to help them metaphorically overcome hurdles. Mix a couple decades of experience in that with his past as an Olympic level athlete and you get someone who understands the mindset thoroughly. We talk about lot's of interesting ways to confront performance issues that I've never heard before.  Michael is also a new listener to the show, as we mention a little. If you want to be like Mike, talking about your passions, email [email protected]  Last time I'll bring this up, the one year episode is going to be up next Monday and I'm going to record live on Podbean Sunday Night starting at 7pm. Please send your questions in ahead of time, that way I can make sure I find time to answer them. [email protected]  Please take a brief moment to rate the show five stars on iTunes, Spotify, or Audible. It seriously helps so much.  Over the last two months I've slipped from #1 in education on Podbean, to just the other night being knocked out of the top 3. And that still hurts even though I knew it wouldn't be that way forever.  The only way to help this show grow is to get new reviews and new listeners, and you can do your part by telling other people that you enjoy the podcast. I'm always looking for new topics, guest ideas, and questions from the audience. To reach out to me email [email protected] or send a message on any of the show pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or wherever else.
