Episode 2: What is the purpose of sport? What is this idea of "real fighting"?? Why is it that when I tell people "I do karate" that they say "oh.. so that means you can beat me up?" Uhmm... No? But it does mean that I have dedicated time and effort into a sport to try and excel at the highest level I can. Just like any other athlete!! Let's get into the WHY of sport. Why do I do the sport that I do? Elyse Gorrell PhD Candidate; MPC (CSPA-ACPS) www.embodiedmentalperformance.com Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/ElysesPoint
