Yo, teens! 🔥 Team Sports Radio just dropped the ultimate mind and body upgrade episode!

So picture this: Dominique breaks down how your brain can totally play mind games with pain. She's got this crazy story about a construction worker who felt pain from a nail that didn't even touch him! Her message? You're not broken, you're healing - and your brain can be your biggest ally or your worst enemy.

Alex jumped in with some real talk about team support. His key wisdom? When you're feeling anxious, reach out to your teammates. "Hey, I got you. We're in this together!" That's the kind of energy that turns challenges into victories.

Don Sanders brought some philosophical fire, quoting legends like Thoreau about not living a life of "quiet desperation." He's all about finding your unique path and not just following the crowd. Plus, he dropped this gem about how helping others can give you a total energy boost.

And Barbara? She's out here making an epic film about human connection, traveling the world and capturing stories that'll blow your mind. Her advice? Keep doing what you love, even if you don't know where it's going - one day, it'll all come together.

Ryan shared how his dad got in the best shape of his life just by walking and enjoying it. The message? Find your groove, whether it's sports, walking, or something totally unexpected.

Hosted by Erica Salda, Teen Sports Radio is a community-powered show uplifting Santa Barbara through stories, sports, and service. This episode blends inspiration, wellness, and preparedness with segments that spark reflection and real-world action.

We open with chiropractic student Sky Ellsworth sharing insights on the 12 Stages of Healing from Donnie Epstein’s model—focusing on emotional awareness and reclaiming personal power. Sky walks us through a Stage Four breathing technique teens can use when feeling overwhelmed.

Ryan Quirk joins us to explore kindness and the magic of saying “yes” to life. His story about a spontaneous trip to Hawaii and giving bracelets to kids reminds us that generosity creates joy and connection.

Next, Dominique Hackett dives into the fascinating science of dream recall—explaining how our dreams help us process emotions, sharpen creativity, and boost performance. She shares practical tips: set intentions before sleep, keep a journal by your bed, reduce screens at night, and don’t rush your morning wake-up.

We then move into earthquake preparedness with Anthony Rodriguez from the Food Bank of Santa Barbara County. He reminds us of the devastating 1925 quake and gives teens clear action items to prepare: pack kits with water, food, medications, and communication plans. Don’t forget activities for kids and a landline!
