WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.080
hi and welcome back to And you, how did you make

00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:06.019
it and today's focus will be on sports on exercising

00:00:06.019 --> 00:00:09.419
and why does it matter and why you should start

00:00:09.419 --> 00:00:13.460
today or if you already started why it is the

00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:17.239
best decision you made this year first you'll

00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:22.079
have fun or you had the best time already it

00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.120
is all about enjoying an environment which is

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.519
outside of school outside of uni outside of your

00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:33.130
job or a combo of everything and just enjoying

00:00:33.130 --> 00:00:35.969
taking care of yourself enjoying that moment

00:00:35.969 --> 00:00:39.750
having fun with the people around you and simply

00:00:39.750 --> 00:00:43.189
disconnecting now let's get into the technical

00:00:43.189 --> 00:00:46.570
stuff i'll walk you through the benefits of running

00:00:46.570 --> 00:00:50.049
cycling swimming jumping dancing and racket sports

00:00:50.049 --> 00:00:53.979
as well as team sports And I will include my

00:00:53.979 --> 00:00:56.539
sources in the description if you need to know

00:00:56.539 --> 00:00:59.479
more. And also, some of the elements I'm going

00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.740
to mention were mentioned during episodes I've

00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:04.959
shared so far. Let's start with sports which

00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.599
need little to some materials with little to

00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.620
no fees to practice consistently. Running, swimming,

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.260
cycling, dancing. What benefits can you expect?

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.420
So many! And I will start with the coolest one.

00:01:19.540 --> 00:01:24.329
Your mood gets better. you'll feel better and

00:01:24.329 --> 00:01:26.950
the john hopkins university shares also that

00:01:26.950 --> 00:01:30.489
it improves your working memory and focus and

00:01:30.489 --> 00:01:34.689
you can become better at task switching ability

00:01:34.689 --> 00:01:37.890
you know multitasking and doing a lot of things

00:01:37.890 --> 00:01:41.409
at the same time how cool is that so what does

00:01:41.409 --> 00:01:44.510
it mean on your day -to -day life if you're in

00:01:44.510 --> 00:01:48.329
school if you're at uni you will get those grades

00:01:48.329 --> 00:01:52.659
up and Moving from one class to another, from

00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:56.219
one exam to another, will get easier. And if

00:01:56.219 --> 00:01:58.060
you're working, this applies to you as well.

00:01:58.859 --> 00:02:02.439
Focusing after long hours of meeting or moving

00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:06.540
from one project to another. Let's now talk racket

00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:09.719
sports. You do have similar benefits. But there

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.740
are three I want to share with you. You know

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:14.319
how many times I told you that you need to adapt.

00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:18.300
At school, at work, to the ever -changing environment

00:02:18.300 --> 00:02:21.750
around us. Well, when you play racquet sports,

00:02:22.009 --> 00:02:26.729
whether it is table tennis or tennis, the person

00:02:26.729 --> 00:02:30.729
playing against you, you cannot predict how the

00:02:30.729 --> 00:02:34.669
person who's in front of you is going to aim

00:02:34.669 --> 00:02:38.110
at. So you need to adapt and move quickly. So

00:02:38.110 --> 00:02:41.409
your decision making process needs to be fast.

00:02:41.889 --> 00:02:44.909
And secondly, you're improving your concentration.

00:02:45.389 --> 00:02:48.840
You consistently need to be focused. If for a

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.620
split second you're not focused anymore, you

00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:55.120
can lose the point. And lastly, you're developing

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.939
a strategic mindset, strategic planning, determining

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.759
where you should stand, what you should do, and

00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.439
prepare your next move. And you can practice

00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.860
with your friends, you can run with them, or

00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:09.360
you can play doubles. So now let's look into

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.360
the benefits of playing within a team. So it

00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.639
can be football, basketball, volleyball, whatever

00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.409
you prefer. And I think my favorite benefit is

00:03:18.409 --> 00:03:21.629
commitment. Because you're part of a team, you

00:03:21.629 --> 00:03:24.550
have people who are held in you accountable for

00:03:24.550 --> 00:03:27.150
showing up. So you get more and more committed

00:03:27.150 --> 00:03:30.889
to coming to practice and joining them. So think

00:03:30.889 --> 00:03:33.509
about it like this. You're discovering that you

00:03:33.509 --> 00:03:35.830
can commit to something. That you can commit

00:03:35.830 --> 00:03:38.590
to getting better grades within a class you think

00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:41.509
you're kind of failing or you're not doing as

00:03:41.509 --> 00:03:44.689
well as you used to. You will be able to. And

00:03:44.689 --> 00:03:47.620
you will be able to. because of that teamwork

00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:51.599
and the second one it's also one of my favorites

00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.300
you're building confidence and it's kind of possible

00:03:55.300 --> 00:03:58.460
for other kind of sports but here you're building

00:03:58.460 --> 00:04:01.860
confidence and people are supporting you actively

00:04:01.860 --> 00:04:05.800
that you can score that you can lead them or

00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.520
that you can pass the ball which will allow the

00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.500
whole team to win so if you develop confidence

00:04:11.500 --> 00:04:14.960
just imagine yourself in a classroom in a team

00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.680
meeting just acing that presentation and believing

00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.240
that you can do it and the last element that

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.339
i will share with you while i count on you for

00:04:25.339 --> 00:04:28.079
making all the research needed to learn more

00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.920
about any kind of sports and also the physical

00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.860
benefits that i'm not going to mention today

00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:40.139
so the last element is resilience so when you're

00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:43.000
playing a team sports oh racket sports actually

00:04:44.269 --> 00:04:49.009
you might face failure. So that experience is

00:04:49.009 --> 00:04:51.829
going to teach you how to cope with failure,

00:04:52.050 --> 00:04:55.370
how to stand up when you're falling down, picking

00:04:55.370 --> 00:04:58.269
yourself up and start it again. Like getting

00:04:58.269 --> 00:05:01.949
that bad grade and studying again, being rejected

00:05:01.949 --> 00:05:05.790
from a job offer and start it again. Because

00:05:05.790 --> 00:05:09.189
again, you can do it. And you have one mission

00:05:09.189 --> 00:05:12.329
now. Identify how you feel. Are you stressed?

00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.060
Do you need to build your confidence? Do you

00:05:16.060 --> 00:05:19.180
need to develop that growth mindset? Do you want

00:05:19.180 --> 00:05:22.519
to improve your memory and learning skills? Do

00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.819
you want to boost your mood? Or all of the above.

00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:30.459
You can try to connect those to one sport. Or

00:05:30.459 --> 00:05:33.379
you can just enjoy the sport that you have been

00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:36.100
practicing or that you would love to try and

00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:40.339
go from there. Now you're thinking, okay, but

00:05:40.339 --> 00:05:44.410
I need daily motivations. And lucky you, you

00:05:44.410 --> 00:05:47.689
can listen to this episode again and again. You

00:05:47.689 --> 00:05:51.490
can look for tools for you to become consistent.

00:05:51.889 --> 00:05:55.310
But also go on social media, go on YouTube and

00:05:55.310 --> 00:05:58.790
follow your favorite athlete or athletes. And

00:05:58.790 --> 00:06:01.170
don't get me wrong, the goal is not to become

00:06:01.170 --> 00:06:03.810
like them, but to get inspiration from them,

00:06:03.870 --> 00:06:06.889
that daily motivation. And I will give a big

00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:10.250
shout out to one of my favorite accounts, Joe
