I feel like I might have an idea of what goes on at Jackson-Winkeljohn's, but at the same time, that's why Coach Jackson and Coach Winkeljohn are considered some of the best. They're able to game-plan and bring the best out of their athletes.
I feel there's so much still to learn about acting. But there is some magic in the capturing of performance and in the process of editing a performance. The psychology of human beings and what's coming through the face... that fascinates me.
God is my psychologist. And my dad is probably the best sport psychologist in the world.
I majored in Psychology in college. I was going to be a child psychologist.
My wife was a licensed psychologist by profession and a college professor of psychology.
There's different types of coaches in life. I don't have to be a coach on the basketball court. I can be a coach for businesses. I can be a coach for kids. I can be a coach for people who have gone through adversity, because everyone has had some type of damn accident in some form or capacity.
A good coach will evaluate your performance against your potential. A coach helps you measure your performance against your strengths instead of against someone else's. A coach will know what you are capable of and will push you to your limit.
My clinical psychologist wife of 40 years has always had a close intellectual influence on me. When I was beginning to talk openly in the economics profession about irrationality in decision-making, I received a lot of criticism. Ginny would support my views and remind me that a whole other profession - psychology - studies people's irrational sides.
The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.
I have a coach, a physio and a psychologist.
If the coach is good, I don't think a psychologist is needed.
I am trained as a psychologist, and I think of all human issues in terms of psychology, neuroscience, genetics, and evolutionary theory.
If the coach is good, I dont think a psychologist is needed.
My mother's a psychologist, my stepfather's a psychologist, my stepmother is a therapist and my dad's a lawyer. So it was all prominent in my life. I don't know anyone who doesn't know someone on some form of prescription medicine.
People think you must be crackers if you've got a psychologist but psychology is part of the building bricks to make a top athlete.
I think I must play how I can, that's all. And if I play my best I'll be happy. It doesn't matter because NHL is the best league in the world and we have great players so whoever the coach puts me with is the best. The coach knows best.
