Welcome to Demonland - Ben Crowe

[Mickey 4,724]

The HUN seem to be reporting that renowned mindfulness mentor Ben Crowe has joined Melbourne as a mindfulness coach. Has previously worked with Ash Barty, Dylan Alcott and Steph Gilmore.

The question you need to ask did Ben Crowe help them or did they help his reputation.

I met a sports psychologist who supposedly helped an athlete reach their potential but the truth was the athlete would have got there with or without his help because he had the drive to succeed.

People generally need an ear to vent to or listen to their problems without any boundaries, there is a saying "god gave man 2 ears and 1 mouth so you need to listen twice as much as you speak".

'Mindfulness' played a big role in 2021 and the premiership.  iirc players and coaches did their own thing in this space.

Without wanting to sound critical maybe we lost our way a little in that regard.

It is often said on here 'its all between the ears'. 

His appointment most likely results from the FD review.  I'm rapt we have a 'mindset' coach who will bring some structure to this critical aspect of elite performance.

Unbelievable get for the footy club. 

Had the privilege of attending a leadership forum up in Brisbane last year where he was a guest speaker and conducted some workshops. He spoke about all things mindfulness, leadership and perspective.

Personally I came away from his session really rejuvenated and gained a whole new perspective from a leadership and life perspective. 

He's worked with some absolute superstars in the sporting industry. He was prominent with Richmond throughout their dynasty years, Ash Barty, Mick Fanning, Dylan Alcott, Louis Dobbelaar and many more.

If you get a chance follow him on Insta and LinkedIn. Has some really good content.

Darren Shand and Ben Crowe.. what a combo. No excuses now.

Mindfulness is good, I'm a bit wary of guru's in this space though.

I've also attended some of his workshops via my employer. In my opinion, he makes any organization better. In addition to the success he has had mentoring high performance athletes, he has also worked with industry CEO's. I love the thought of Clarry & Trac having access to Ben all season.

Mindfulness and mind-set coaching.

When it's bad, it's rubbish and actually does harm.

When its good, it trains people to be aware of the things they're doing which aren't actually helpful, and to deliberately choose to replace them with actually useful habits.

It can also be quite good for learning to not give two ****s about external opinion, including avoiding the trap of reacting disrespectfully just to prove you don't care.

Really optimistic about this appointment.

But how does it go with 'learnings'?

The I think the ones to watch out for are those who make podcasts about it for a living, rather than being out there practicing it behind the scenes of organisations.

Another big appointment by the Dees, Ben Crowe is a great get for our footy team old players and youngsters alike. We want that winning mindset across the board.😁😁👍

This guy is fantastic - the real deal. He did incredible work with Ash Barty, this would be a phenomenal get for the club, if true.
