Mindful Sport Performance Podcast
Drs. Keith Kaufman and Tim Pineau (along with Dr. Carol Glass) developed the Mindful Sport Performance Enhancement (MSPE) mental training program and founded the MSPE Institute, which provides training and consultation to promote greater success, satisfaction, and well-being in sport and other realms of performance (e.g., performing arts, business). In this podcast, Keith and Tim discuss various topics related to mental training, mindfulness, peak performance, and optimal experience for a wide range of performers -- from recreational to elite, kids to adults. They offer practical tips and exercises from their own work, and interview other top-level experts to highlight effective approaches to performance enhancement. The Mindful Sport Performance Podcast will give listeners a full catalogue of fresh ideas on how to thrive in competitive environments and embrace a more mindful way of being.

Mindful Sport Performance Podcast
Ep. 48: RESETTING in Sport with Dr. Ashley Kuchar
In this episode, Dr. Ashley Kuchar joins the conversation.
Dr. Ashley Kuchar is the founder of Fail Better Training, and is passionate about helping athletes learn to respond to challenging situations in ways that foster resilience rather than relying on self-criticism. She completed her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin working alongside Dr. Kristin Neff. While pursuing her doctorate, she received a NCAA research grant which aided in the development of RESET, a program she created as part of her dissertation. Working with over 250 student-athletes, she found that RESET supported adaptive coping, well being, and sport performance.
Ashley played basketball at Fort Lewis College and ranks among that school's career leaders in six major categories. At the conclusion of her college career, she was nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year.
Ashley begins the episode with a Resilience RESET exercise. Then, Keith, Tim, and Ashley discuss:
[7:17] Reflecting on the Resilient RESET exercise
[9:15] Comparing mindfulness-based and compassion-based approaches to sport performance enhancement
[15:12] Exploring the origins of the very common fear-based motivational style

[26:00] Applying the RESET program to coaching
[32:53] What the RESET program looks like in practice
[38:42] The efficacy and outcomes of the RESET program
