If you answered yes to that question, you should attend our Psychology of Performance event tomorrow night, November 14th, at 7PM!
If you haven't heard about our Psychology of Performance event yet, you've mastered a technique for avoiding memo's that I can hardly fathom. From the signs in the office, to the signs in the elevator, to the in-person invitations, and the emails- it's unlikely you have yet to hear about our event. In the event that you haven't or are deciding whether or not to attend, read on!
The Psychology of Performance event will feature speakers Dr. Dan Tripps and Ariana Kukors. Dr. Tripps will speak on performance anxiety and performing under pressure while Ariana will share her story as an Olympic athlete and World Record Holder. We will also hear from coach Lisa Dahl of the Get Wet program who will share her vision for the program.
So basically, this event is worth your attending if you:
- swim, like to swim, have swam, or may swim in the future
- enjoy sports, compete in sports, have played sports, or plan to play sports
- compete, perform, have competed, have performed, will compete, or will perform
- care about advocacy for underrepresented youth, like youth, were once a youth, etc.
Essentially, you have every reason to attend this event as it will be a chance to learn, grow, and share. Check out the flyer, and RSVP before it is too late! If you have any questions, please feel free to email Kevin Rindal, Seattle Chiropractor at DrRindal@InHealthSeattle.com.
Wondering where Dr. Kevin is this week? Read on my friends:
I have had the incredible opportunity this week of working in the Sports Medicine Clinic at the Olympic Training Center (OTC) in Colorado Springs. It is easy to be inspired by the athleticism and determination of the athletes who train here.
A typical day consists of performing evaluation and treatment of athletes who have experienced an injury in training, competition (or surfing while on vacation!), or are seeking maintenance treatment to improve mobility and avoid small problems from turning into big injuries.
It is amazing the variety of sizes, physical build, and athletic skills possessed by each athlete training here. For instance, over the last 5 days, I have worked with athletes from the following sports: Paralympic Alpine Skiing, Paralympic Basketball, Men's Gymnastics, Men's and Women's Wrestling, Men's Figure Skating, Women's Modern Pentathalon, Men's and Women's Triathlon, Women's Weight Lifting, Men's Bobsled, Men's and Women's Shooting, Men's Sailing, and Paralympic Judo.
I am incredibly inspired by the Olympic movement and the dedication each of these athletes has to their sport, and their pride in self, country, and the people who support them. Two nights ago there was a big party to celebrate 100 days until the 2014 games in Sochi, Russia. I am already looking forward to watching these athletes perform and live the dream of being an Olympian that they have worked so hard to achieve.
See you back at InHealth next week!
Dr. Kevin

Looking to spruce up a Thursday evening in November? It just so happens, InHealth is hosting an event that is sure to do the trick. I hope you will consider, and then decide, to join us on November 14th for a fundraiser with the Central Area Aquatics Team. The event will feature guest speakers Dr. Dan Tripps of POTENTRx and Olympic Swimmer and World Record Holder Ariana Kukors.
All event proceeds will go toward the Get Wet program hosted by the Central Area Aquatics Team. Get Wet's mission is to bridge the growing gap between swim lessons and swim team for underrepresented youth. The fundraiser will assist Get Wet in it's monthly cost as well as building a scholarship program for youth that wish to carry on in competetive swimming but lack the support or means by which to do so.
Dr. Tripps will speak on the psychology of performance anxiety, while Ariana will participate in a Q&A about her career as an Olympic swimmer. Not to mention, our amazing sponsors have prepared a raffle you won't want to miss.
Check out our flyer and seriously consider joining us for a night of learning, sharing, and growing.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email Kevin Rindal, Seattle Chiropractor at DrRindal@InHealthSeattle.com.
I have come to truly appreciate the patients at InHealth PLLC. We see an exceptional range of people come through our doors each day. From the devoted parents who bring in their athletic children, to the Iron Man competitors gearing up for their next race, to the world record holders and olympic athletes. I am impressed by every individual that seeks treatment within our office.
As I have grown more familiar with these faces and their stories, I have also learned a bit about competitive athletes and those they surround themselves. These individual are different. Not in a quirky, "that's strange", kind of way. But in such a manner that you feel a different kind of exuberance when surrounded by them. Competitive athletes exude life, drive, passion, and awareness. In no way does this mean non-competetive athletes lack liveliness, drive, passion, or awareness. Rather, I find that it does not ooze from their pores and sparkle in their eyes as it often does in competitors.
Simply put, competitive athletes seem to be in pursuit of something that keeps them constantly chasing. They are always on the go, reaching, striving, or leaping for that next personal record.
Although I hesitate to say it, I know there is a difference between the active individual and someone who competes on a national or international level. It may be the result of genes or it may be the byproduct of their situation. But there is something that sets competitors apart. It could be the reliance upon their bodies, the mental toughness, the drive to win, or something innate.
Whatever it may be, there is something to be appreciated about those who continue to pursue competition. And there is also something to be learned. How often do you find yourself passionately in pursuit of something? How many times a week or month do you seek to do your very best at a task? Are you allowing yourself to constantly seek out that which you love? Are you making time for your passions outside the walls of your office or your home life?
I hope you learn to unleash your inner athlete.
Find your inner drive, passion, liveliness, and awareness.

I am constantly amazed by the dedication and service of people in Seattle. They fight on behalf of those who do not have the strength or voice, and they make it their person goal to help others. One of those people working so hard for others is Nancy Phipps. If you haven't met her, you should. She has worked with DAWN to raise money for women/children in domestic abuse situations. She is a fighter and passionatly cares about helping others. So how can we make a difference? Donate towards the fundraiser "Mission Impossible", a group of DAWN supporters that are raising money and running the Seattle Half and Full Marathon. See the link below. This is our chance to make a difference in November. They are asking for $25 donations before the big day!
