One of the requests I hear most consistently from character coaches and sports chaplains is for resources. Over the next couple of months I will be highlighting several different websites containing a wide variety of resources. Some have videos, some written resources, some are podcasts, and a couple have all those and more.
A rather unique resource for people who serve the world of sport is the podcast titled, Becoming Undone. https://undonepodcast.com/ is like many podcasts as it had its origin during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It's the brainchild and near obsession of Dr. Toby Brooks, a professor at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, USA.
I have been privileged to know Toby since his undergraduate days at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. Toby's long-form interviews are full of insight and inspiration. One of the unique features of these podcasts is Toby's regular interruptions of the recording to drop in his own insights, points of emphasis, and challenges to the listener as they occur in the recordings. As the main page of the site states, "Becoming UnDone is the podcast for those who dare bravely, try mightily, and grow relentlessly. Join author, speaker, and host Dr. Toby Brooks as he invites a new guest each episode to examine how high achievers can transform from falling apart to falling into place." If that sounds like you, give this podcast a try.
I was thrilled to be Toby's guest on episode #40. https://undonepodcast.buzzsprout.com/2063867/13234396-ep40-champion-with-sports-chaplain-and-character-coach-roger-lipe
