Acerca de esta escucha

 Martial Attitude Voice Podcast explores the deeper layers of performance, discipline, and the psychology that connects them. Sport Psychology is the study of athletes' perceptions of reality, and of their environment. My role as a trainee Sport Psychologist is to support athletes and sport organisations identifying their needs and fulfilling their potential, for a healthier living and outstanding performance. Through the podcast, I also explore the daily challenges and perspectives of visually impaired people to implement Martial Attitude Training: In a safe and supportive environment visually impaired work together with fully sighted people to progressively acquire transferable skills in spatial navigation and body posture. In fact, these are particularly important for them in social settings, for greater physical and psychological well-being.

    #223: Abrupt unforgiving blindness and action for independence - Kijuan M. Amey
    May 24 2025

    In this powerful and emotionally candid episode of Martial Attitude Voice, Kijuan Amey joins Mathias Alberton to share his extraordinary story of survival and adaptation following a life-altering motorbike accident that left him blind and coping with a traumatic brain injury. Kijuan opens up about the deep and ongoing impact the accident had—not only on his physical abilities but also on his memory, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships.

    Through a conversation marked by honesty and vulnerability, Kijuan describes the daily challenges of navigating life with unfiltered emotional responses and short-term memory loss, and how these affect his sense of identity and connection with others. He offers listeners a raw insight into what it's like to feel misunderstood, to live with invisible impairments, and to work tirelessly at regaining control, one day at a time. This is a conversation about resilience, self-awareness, and the importance of empathy and, crucially, of the will to take actions to regain one's independence.

  • #222: Sport, play and young athletes through the AAT - Dr. Petah Gibbs

    #222: Sport, play and young athletes through the AAT - Dr. Petah Gibbs
    May 17 2025

    In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Petah Gibbs offers a critical perspective on the use of psychological testing and mental skills training in youth sport. Drawing from his clinical and sport psychology experience, he warns against the growing trend of treating children’s sport like professional sport, particularly through premature psychometric assessments like the Athlete Apperception Test (AAT). While these tools can be powerful in the hands of trained clinicians, Gibbs argues they should never be used to fast-track children into performance optimization pipelines driven by commercial or parental pressures. Instead, sport in childhood should remain a space for play, social development, and emotional learning—without the weight of adult expectations.

    Dr. Gibbs also reflects on the sensitive application of projective tools like the AAT with younger populations. He emphasizes their true value lies not in diagnosis or performance enhancement, but in creating space for meaningful conversation—especially with children who struggle to engage verbally. The discussion touches on ethical practice, the risks of amateur misuse, and the importance of clinical supervision when working with emotionally vulnerable young athletes. Most poignantly, he underlines the deep integration between sport and life: challenges on the field are rarely isolated, and any responsible psychological intervention must take into account the full human experience of the child—not just their performance.

    #221: The silences of the Athlete Apperception Technique supplementary set - Dr. Petah M. Gibbs
    May 10 2025
    In this episode, Dr. Petah M. Gibbs returns to unpack the thinking behind the supplementary set of images in the Athletic Apperception Technique (AAT). We explore why selecting specific cards can risk shaping the narrative, the importance of using the full set, and how grief, arousal, and self-diagnosis often surface in unexpected ways. Petah also shares insights on balancing emotional intensity across cards and what happens when elite athletes mislabel performance arousal as anxiety.Also, an evocative story from Paul’s early career involving a response to a projective image helped us delve into how such techniques allow access to unconscious material, often unfiltered and deeply personal. Dr. Gibbs highlights the significance of silence in therapeutic work—how it invites genuine reflection and unprompted free association, echoing the principles of classic psychoanalysis. We also touch on the nuanced themes that may emerge in such assessments, including identity, sexuality, and interpersonal dynamics, illustrating that responses often transcend any fixed domain, including sport.A thoughtful, rich continuation for anyone using or curious about the AAT.Also, If you are interested in Dr. Gibbs original research study, you can find it here: Gibbs, P. M., Marchant, D. B., & Andersen, M. B. (2016). Development of a clinical sport projective assessment method: The Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT). Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health, 9(1), 33–48. https://doi.org/10.1080/2159676x.2016.1180637AbstractWithin the field of applied sport psychology, there is an increasing appreciation for diversity of training models, research methodologies, and therapeutic approaches. For example, psychodynamic formulations and interpretations have begun to appear more frequently in the sport psychology literature. In keeping with emerging psychodynamic viewpoints, we believe the time is right to introduce a qualitative sport-specific projective instrument: the Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT). The AAT represents a new technique based on psychodynamic theory and established projective test construction principles. It was designed primarily as a clinical tool for practitioners and not as an instrument for quantitative research into personality. It does, however, have potential research applications, especially in clinical sport case study research and narrative analysis investigations. The AAT produces an idiographic understanding of athletes’ characteristics, anxieties, and motivations (both conscious and unconscious). We briefly review the literature on the development of projective techniques, explain the rationale underlying the development of the AAT, and present three sequential studies to explain the AAT image selection procedures that led to the final product.---Discover all Dr. Petah M.
