40 分钟From risky snowboard halfpipe runs, to 400m sprints where every second counts, to high-stakes archery tournaments, performing well in sports requires mental toughness as much as physical toughness. How do athletes get “in the zone”? And what can we all learn about focus, flow, and mental resilience from athletes? Good Sport is a podcast from the TED Audio Collective about the fascinating psychology behind athletic competition. Each week, host Jody Avirgan guides you through an array of stadiums, pitches, pools, and slopes–all the ways that sports can shed a light on the ups and downs of being human. Follow Good Sport wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, everyone.
Chris Duffy here.
This week, instead of a new episode of how to be a better human, we've got something special for you.
We're going to share an episode of Good Sport.
It's a new podcast from the TeD audio collective that's about what sports can reveal about being human.
So obviously there's a lot of overlap between that idea and the reason you listen to this show, how to be a better human.
Um, Goodsport is actually hosted by Jody Avergan, who was on our podcast a few episodes back.
You heard my conversation with him.
I think that Jody is so fantastic.
I think this show Goodsport is really, really interesting.
And this episode we're about to play is all about the way that we argue and what we can learn about sports, arguments that maybe could apply to arguments about everything else.
Why does everyone get so fired up when they're debating sports on television?
And is there maybe a way that we could debate better in our real lives?
I think you're going to find this episode really interesting.
I know I did.
And if you like it and you want to hear more from Goodsport, you can follow their podcast.

Okay, now onto the show.
Enjoy.
