Yet, the way some social media are approaching strategies to help us through this might be making matters worse instead of better. In this special episode of the Imperfect Athlete, I talk about my way of dealing with this situation, my opinion about how we should deal with it, and maybe just a little bit of a different voice to help people deal with their imperfections.

When a team isn't performing as it should in professional sports, there is always one thing you can be sure that is going to happen: the coach gets fired. This strategy has become so common that is is not hard to predict when a coaches' time is up.
In this episode of JWK Explains, I want to have a look at the interesting situation. Is firing the coach actually a viable strategy to boost your team's performance? And what are some of the proposed reason behind this move?

In the second part of my conversation with Ryan, we shift focus away from his career as an athlete and look at a completely different but at the same time similar performance environment: Ryan's career as a science fiction writer. We discuss a bunch of topics including how to keep growing your skills, the challenges of being a full-time writer and what lessons learned through sport can be applied to a writer.

Nobody changes their behaviour after a successful play, win or season. Only when a mistake is made, people tend to change their behaviour. Yet, when we talk about athletes, we mostly talk about their achievements. I want to change that by interviewing athletes, coaches and other support staff and ask them about the biggest mistakes they made in their careers, but most importantly, how those mistakes made them into the person they are today.
