  This was one of your best podcasts, in my humble opinion, because everything that Patrick says about passion and winning in sports directly translates to passion and winning in life. He makes a terrific life coach. I also like the way that Rainn points out the real &quot;gems&quot; among Patrick&apos;s comments. (I&apos;ve been taking notes.) &nbsp;And thank you SO MUCH for inviting us to contribute insights, questions, discoveries in the area of mental health. &nbsp;In doing so, you are opening up the podcast into more of a webinar on Soul Boom. That&apos;s what I was hoping you would do when I read the book.

  ♥ I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee all this ! I train my figure skating students to find one positive thing about their daily training each day, even and specially on those days that they believe everything went wrong but somehow they managed to make another training day ( its not a lose day) This talk also remind me the importance of doing, cause life is movement and when you stop you can think negative and feel that you cant.... wich is only a belief, dont let this belief solidy, keep moving... and I also loved the sentence: sorround yourself with people who look at you with kind eyes ( That is how I always look Soulboom episodes with my most inspiring and kind eyes and a very lifted and joyful spirit) Rainn what happens to you with Tennis happens to me with Figure Skating, there is a continue lost and fight for balance &nbsp;and sucessful moves cant not come from agressive, anxious movements you have to think about the tecnique enough and at the same time be tense and flowing and the jumps are amazing and the spins are like magic, all my troubles dissapear when Im there on the ice, and a beautiful passional Mariela comes from &nbsp;when Im skating or teaching to it, and in skating if you dont concentrate you fall and sometimes it hurts...
