Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks!
This week we take a deep dive into the mental part of sports as we interview sports psychologist Mike Margolies. Mike is the author of "The Athlete within You" and has been a practicing Sport Psychology Consultant for 40+ years, having trained people and athletes of all ages, including Olympians, professionals and amateur athletes in most sports. We learn how mental toughness is a learned skill and how mental training can turn a good athlete into an elite athlete. Mike also has a few thoughts on the struggling Pistons.
In the second half of the show, our topics include:
The Pistons have lost 24 consecutive games and are on the verge of NBA and sports infamy.
A blowout victory over the Broncos has the Lions on the verge of a playoff spot and the NFC North crown.
The NFC is wide open, and owning home field advantage may very well be the deciding factor.
Back from a scary neck injury, Red Wings center Dylan Larkin calls out NHL front office brass for their lack of action in regard to player safety. If the league won't punish cheap shots, the players may have to go back to doling out frontier justice.
We also play Greg's Birthday Game and name our respective Jerk of the Week!
