Win One For the Gipper?

There are some real solid points in this podcast, but I'm compelled to comment because a lot of this misses the mark.

The Good:
- Troy's perspective on Major competition (ex, the Olympics) is awesome. Facing that or a once in a lifetime event is a wholly different thing.

- Asking "why" one competes was good, as well as the discussion on The Journey of competition was very good! In context, this was helpful.

The Bad:
- Troy's opening comment as to "is the grief over a person or a pet?" was OFFENSIVE. Thankfully the Co-host essentially said it didn't matter. However...

- ... neither host ever defined Grief or discussed it. This is an essential fault because grief is a process AND grief is not universally the same or scaled. (Thus it was assumed the human death is worse than the pet).

- Troy's use of the US Army's proverb to "embrace the suck" is misplaced. Life can suck, but we shouldn't stay in it. AND the last words of this podcast episode shouldn't be "if you've lost someone, we're sorry for your loss, embrace the suck." !!! THAT'S FLIPPANT.

- Finally, the whole premise of the episode is "the departed would want you to compete." This is similar to "win one for the Gipper." To me, that's irrelevant and here's why:

My Recommendations:
1. The hosts said this at about the 13 minute mark, but the real question is, "can you get into your competitive mindset?" THAT'S the ONLY thing that matters.

2. The departed are dead, and that's the hard thing, but whether or not they're proud doesn't matter.

3. Embracing the Suck doesn't matter. It doesn't need to be embraced. Getting into the focus to complete does matter.

4. The Why and the Journey are essential questions to ask. And these shouldn't be focused on the departed.

I compete in the National Sporting Clays Association. Between 2020 and 2023, I lost my Dad, a father figure that helped me in shooting, and my best bird dog in a tragic accident. So I know what it's like to compete in grief.

This podcast is awesome at shining the light on elite competition and that's a very cool and unique perspective.

Every grief I've suffered is different from the other griefs. But what matters is, "can I get into the process?" If I can't, it's time to ask why, and perhaps reset.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
