am i wrong? i feel like it's a natural part of a retired athelete's coping mechanism on not being involved in their sport anymore to complain about the current state of affairs of their sport. i find this to be a common trope amongst retired athletes from a variety of sports.
Well she had to keep her mouth shut when on the team because of rapinoe's bullshit. The USA just had the worst performance in a world cup, so is she really wrong?
She has always been critical of herself and how her teammates, the youth, and the others train. It is her style. Kobe would say the same thing because they were driven by something different. (but she isn't far off, it's a different-more lax approach.
Survivor bias. She got good because she took risks. Other people who took similar risks suffered but she managed to get through it therefore gaining popularity. Her message is the loudest because she survived when in reality we should still try to look at evidence based medicine as a basis for training regimes. Very very well done Carli for your sacrifice and achievements, but many were not as fortunate as yourself. Please don't advocate that others take the risks you took to become a legend, let others find their own path for their own goals. Great interview by Doctor Mike, and excellent responses from Carli even though I have some disagreements on both sides.
@@tiagomoraes1510 I'm going my own path as everyone should. Learning as I go. If I could possibly have her level of skill I would love to strive for that, but I neither the willpower or the talent. I know my limits, I just wish people understood that others are different from themselves. You cannot measure a fishes aptitude on its ability to climb a tree after all.
Exactly. A lot of people have limits that need to be found out before doing anything. I myself can't overdo something as it literally makes my pain worse.
Didn't Dr. Mike say the reason he underperformed during his last boxing match was because he over trained and didn't allow himself to recover from the training... 😂 Your athletic performance can actually increase if you're training properly and recovering, if you're not recovering you're just getting in your own way by doing more work. Bro science is dumb.
@@zipy4900 You can keep injuring yourself and stay at the bottom. Structured training programs that follow rules like 80% easy/20% hard have been studied to demonstrate that it's arguably the most effective way of improving performance for people at ANY level. Eliud Kipchoge is not running 100 miles a week at his competition 4:35 per mile pace. Anybody that goes 100% hard all the time is likely just going to break down, and we literally see this happen to athletes all the time.
Meanwhile, my physical therapist tells me EVERY WEEK to make sure I'm not overdoing it as we try to undo the damage what 20 years of "pushing myself" did
My cousins played soccer all throughout childhood and during high school. They were injured so many times that they both sustained permanent damage. One of them was unable to pursue a military career because of how wrecked his body was. There’s something wrong going on with the sport when just playing for the joy of it destroys your future.
What’s your point? I’ve played soccer most my life until 7h and 8th grade then went back in high school, I never got injured or my friends and we played a lot of soccer outside while still playing with a team.
@jesslioce To be fair, anecdotal evidence like that is backed up by a lot of actual numerical evidence and research about the increasing number of injuries (particularly to the knee) that are happening in sports such as football (soccer) and American football.
Choosing to spend time with your family, choosing bodily health & longevity, choosing mental health/happiness & not having the privilege to drop everything for what is initially a "hobby" is not "soft". High level athletes are definitely at the peak of hard work, but that does not mean "everyone else that doesn't get to this level" is soft. Simone Biles stepped down because of "the yips" due to a mental block. She is the the most-decorated female gymnast with seven Olympic medals, but is she "soft"? This toxic, privileged mindset puts athletes and ppl at risk of injury.
Could not agree more with you. People should stay in their own lane and not cast judgment onto others based on their own personal experience. She is talented and dedicated. Plenty of people have injured themselves irrevocably pushing themselves. It's not worth it for many people and that's perfectly fine. I would argue normal people avoid injuring themselves...
@TheSwauzz An example is Harden, in 2021 against the Bucks he tore his hammy. But in desperation to play the medstaff lied and claimed it was a lesser injury and he rushed to come back. Harden reaggrevated the injury upon his return and that set him back the following seasons
And had Simone pushed through (like Carli may have liked to see - not be "soft") she very well could have died or been paralyzed. I follow gymnastics closely and what sticks out in their training is that the older the gymnasts get, the more efficient and shorter their time training gets but they still produce the same results as when they were training 40 hours a week. Training smarter not harder should be everyone's goal.
@@unhealthyhomeostasis and not taking risks did what? She could have seen as someone who fought through it all and been phenomenal instead she stayed with being your every day Olympian that quit
I’m doubting if what she says about being soft is completely accurate… Yes, some people became softer in this generation definitely. But if you look at athletes saying they are overplayed then they simply are. Currently there are so many ACL injuries in the women’s game it’s sad to see. In my opinion those girls have all the right to complain about being overplayed. And that has absolutely nothing to do with being soft.
I feel like she doesn't really buy it she spent the entire interview saying damn I wish I had taken the breaks and stopped more what she did made her the best lady's soccer and I respect it but she knows she wasn't doing what was healthy for her there has to be a balance between the lab shit and the field shit
@@deathmauler181There’s a difference between sacrifices and risking your health. If you don’t have your health, you have nothing. People that have taken similar risks as her become crippled at a young age due to injury.
shes projecting... she isolated her self and stopped talking to her family and was a workahlic and was sucesfull so she thinks everyone shoudl do it that way
I appreciate her sentiment; however, I think "being soft" is a symptom of our generation having more awareness of our mental and physical health and taking precautions to protect ourselves in an increasingly hostile world. Not all of us want to be the best at something. I just want to live a simple, happy life with people I love. She said it herself-she took some hits to her mental health on her journey to become the best. Not everyone is willing to do that and I don't think it's because we lack resilience, I think it's because we're more aware of the sacrifices that are required to be the best at something and aren't willing to make those sacrifices in a world like this. She's an icon and succeeded in chasing her dream. Good for her! But, I think the notion that our generation is "being soft" is a reductionist argument.
You summed up what I wanted to say about the blanket statement of a whole generation being soft. It doesn’t help anyone to say that kind of reductive comment ya know?
@@dozer11 It helps her feed her ego that she got where she is because she's super special and just SUCH a hard worker, and not that she benefited from luck and circumstances outside of her control.
Also some of the best athletes in the world are people that follow programs structured to not overtrain or overload their bodies. Load management is a major thing in the NBA for example, and I think it's pretty dumb to say they're just being soft - they just don't want to go out like Yao Ming who could have had a much greater career than he did but his body just broke down.
@@PontschPauPau3451I think what she also leaves out is Jordan and even Kobe no friends. When you push yourself that hard to be the best, you alienate everyone. And then someone like Ronnie Coleman pushed himself too hard that his body is failing him today. The cost of greatness could be considered too much by some.
She's an absolute legend, an inspiration to many generations to come. Everyone in my family knows Carli Lloyd. We had so many wonderful memories watching her play, especially in World Cup games. We want to see Lloyd continue with her career as a soccer commentator or a soccer coach. We missed her. We want to see her more often on TV.
There's just an air of "bootstraps" mentality to her talk about the athletes of today. She happens to be talented. She happens to have not ended her career pushing herself so hard. And I get it, she likes feeling special and superior, and she doesn't want to feel like she pushed her body beyond the safe zone to not be remembered. But the idea that kids today are soft for wanting to make sure they can walk into their 80's without needing heavy (and expensive) medical intervention is just ridiculous. People with their whole lives ahead of them want to know that they get to enjoy those lives. They want to know that they won't have to live off of a single big prize, or even have nothing at all. It's not being soft, it's being sensible. Sure, sensible doesn't sound as romantic, but oddly enough romance doesn't provide any of the day to day necessities like food, water, shelter, or rest. Honestly, she should be excited that the youth of today won't have to make the sacrifices she made nor take the risks she took, instead of sounding like that old timer who won't shut up about how kids today have it too easy- as if that wasn't the point.
Happens to be talented ??? How do you think she got to be talented?? She put in the work to be the best not some mediocre slouch. SHE is an example of a great woman of a woman others should look up to. She craved greatness n climbed for it ,reached it. And proudly where she is cause she fucking earned
@@TheSwauzz so cause you didnt take care of yourself, t Cause you didnt have the desire to reach for the stars ,your constant gripe with her is what? She reminds you of what you could have been had you dedicated yourself to your passion? That isnt a dig at you personally but this "poor me mindset " that you can spewing about.
@@deathmauler181wow, you got all that from this person saying, take care of your body. You can push yourself to the max, and still take care of your body.
I would just like to say thank you to Dr. Mike. I watch your videos all the time and thanks to your videos I passed my cpr test and got my certifaication. 2 inches deep 100 beats a minute STAYIN ALIVE!!!!
I have the utmost respect for her as a footballer, she is one of the best women players of all time, but I just lost a lot of respect for her as a person. She talks about coming from the bottom, but she lives in a bubble and judges people outside her bubble. I hope she finds happiness because I feel like she is a really sad person. Enjoyment is not the same as lack of effort. If you never enjoy your success, when will you going to feel happiness and fulfillment? Dr. Mike made it seem like he was trying to take that feeling away from her, such as when he said, 'Are you saying that you have to be sad to be the best?' I wish her the best, but I am not looking forward to any more interviews with her.
So you make excuses and have no fire to get anywhere. Good job. She came from nothing and became greatness. You should look up to her strength of will. And learn to reach for the stars
She judges other people that way as a defense mechanism, they are the symbol of what she sacrificed and she cannot give it value otherwise what she achieved may not have been worth it.
@@n0nenone she is an example of someone who bucked the odds and became great its not that she deserved it ,she EARNED it. Coming from nothing and wanting more than what she was supposed to accept and be okay with what she was given. People like the lot in the comments attacking her ,hate her because she's a prime example that all they do is make excuses. In any other situation people would look at her strength of will as a hero instead,so many of you lot look at her as a reminder of what a,strong person ,a strong woman can do. A reminder of what so many of you lot aren't. But because she makes so many of you look like losers yall are mad at her when she holds a mirror to you.
Much respect to her for challenging herself a lot and always going out of her comfort zone. It's really great that she manages to do that. And it's also great that she actually sees soccer now as it is, selfish with a lot of money involved. Hats off for her. I for myself have great difficulties in leaving my normal comfort zone but since I love creating things with my hands like out of wood or whatever, I always get to that point where I look for things that really challenge me and where I really need to think and find a ways to get the things I create exactly as I want them to be and since I'm a little perfectionist with that it can take a long time and a lot of nerves
We appreciate how Dr Mike is detailed with his analysis on various matters. We know for certain he's very spot on with everything he says. We wish him all the best no matter what.
What? She was doing abbreviated dangerous Special Forces exercises and to compare that to sports? She didn't ask for load management while she played. Period.
Getting a heart rate monitor was the thing that alerted me that my heart rate wasn't going below 100bpm at all even when resting which was why I was struggling to catch my breath when training or racing
Over training is a problem I see in the gym a lot. I’ve over trained before and it horrible. Your literally become weaker, slower and eventually smaller if you go on to far. Deload for me is necessary about every 7-9 weeks
I think Carli makes a good point about how people are a lot more self reliant anything other than the intuitiveness of our own bodies but goddamn is saying people are "soft" such a bad take. A lot of people work there ass off and just don't see success, just because you hear about the MJ's or the Kobe's who worked there ass of and made it, it doesn't mean there are thousands of others that don't. And if you don't balance yourself, then you are fully reliant on 'making it' and you don't learn of other ways that you can contribute and learn, like watching games for example. If you don't make it you are literally destroying your body and mind, essentially for nothing. It's literally survivorship bias at it's finest. Even just looking at the stats it's apparent that people are overworking; Lonzo ball is a perfect example of this, he will probably never play again and a major contributor to that was how much he trained when he was younger. Just like the increasing amount of injuries amongst younger players, obviously it's not all because of overworking but it plays a significant part.
They are soft. It's TRUE. They don't from there have the mindset to get themselves out of the treadmill of going fast and going nowhere. Most people have a losers mentality in that they just accept what they are given cause they don't take risks or want to do the work to put them in a better position. People largely are against putting in those long hours to get what they really want
@@christhegamerdelima5545He criticized Simone Biles of all people in a separate comment thread just to “prove” his point. He obviously disregards people’s health for the sake of “greatness” and considers any other viewpoint as being “soft”. It’s sad to see.
Dr. Mike, I don't know if you will see this but I hope you do. I watch a lot of your videos and they are very educational and in fact I want to become a Doctor like you someday. You are my idol and I'm very inspired by you Dr. Mike. Continue making great videos! - Gracie
She is probably suffering form something that working hard in football fulfilled. I see this a little bit like parents beating and yelling at their children because their parents did that and they turned out "well". This thing we call humanity is an experiment and there is no right way to live or train that guarantees success. Those soft people might be a lot happier than she was or she was a bit masochistic and derived pleasure from the gain through pain.
Workaholic here whose really bad at prioritizing my mental health (thanks anxiety), but have learned through my current job how important vacations are and have made sure to take at least one every year since I was eligible because it allows me the opportunity to refresh myself and reset my brain which ultimately helps me with my sanity/mental health to keep working as hard as I can. Because I haven’t yet taken a vacation this year (I’m thinking of taking mine in September like I did last year), I actually had to take a mental health day the other day and not go to work because my anxiety spiked through the roof and I wasn’t in a good place mentally or physically because I only got 30-45 minutes of sleep and it reminded me that I need to take my vacation sooner rather than later, if you don’t prioritize your mental health it will come back to bite you!
There's a reason why Nordic countries have 6 weeks paid vacation. That's because rest, restitution and vacation makes people better at handling every day and at work. Most of us go to youth sports after school
Ayee! Fellow retired NJ Olympic athlete here! I would disagree with the work harder than everyone else. I would instead say work harder than 95% of everyone else and have a better mindset than anyone else. When you get to the top 5% your mindset will sort out the rest. What I mean by that is never think "I lost because he cheated" or "I lost because I wasn't feeling it today", instead think "I lost because I wasn't good enough" then take apart the situation piece by piece and analyze what you can improve on. If you are in the top 5% and you have a bad day, then you'd still destroy someone in the bottom 5%, if you want to be the best then you need to be able to beat the person who's second best even on a bad day. That is the mindset that will drive you to the top. The second thing I would say is don't listen to others if your goal is to be the best, especially if they themselves aren't the best. If someone tells you you're wrong, try it anyway. Maybe you'll actually be wrong, but then you'll have the experience to tell you why and that may inspire you to try something that does work for you. I had 2 coaches, both Olympic gold medalists, the only thing they ever did was teach me the fundamentals, answer my questions, and warn me if I was going to injure myself. Everything else was left up to me to figure out and create a style that worked for me. So if your goal is the top, there's 3 steps. 1. Take full responsibility 2. Analyze what you can improve even if you won 3. Be creative and think out of the box
So I am bulgarian and I was taking an acting class and actually the advanced class was filming a medical comedy series. There are only two episodes out and I don't know linguistically how things can work out (it is in bulgarian), but I really want you to check it out. It is called "Смешно отделение"... "Funny room" (from Emergency room). It is NOT medically accurate but it's funny.
Tbf it's how it works. The older you get, the slower your reflexes, the less burden you can put on your body, etc. A better example would be the pro women's team that lost to 11-15 year Old boys. But that's prob a gender thing and not an age thing.
An athlete doesn't have a long career playing the sport because the physical stresses placed on the body and injuries that have slowly accumulated. While you could still play games but you will never be as able as once you were and have to use the knowledge and experience to keep up with the younger athletes. So being replaced is more to getting older than being soft.
Just a thing about the beginning. Isn't it normal to have only 1 pair of cleats? Most of the kids I played with in my youth (including myself) used one pair until they were completely worn out. Same with the goal in the backyard. I knew like only a couple of kids that actually had a small goal at home in those years of playing football.
@@seebeepee9670 She 100% is. The whole "I grew up in working class rural family, hard work hard work, I'm gonna do military LARPing and complain about young people being soft" is such obvious by-the-book conservative pandering. She's retired now so I'm guessing she's looking for a grift to jump on to make money. I fully expect to see her on Turning Point USA or Louder with Crowder soon, whining about wokeness and how not bullying gay teens to death makes the youth weak.
Apart from her tone deaf comment about an entire generation being soft, one thing that I noticed about this interview to be so off putting is that sports are not supposed to be this goddamn serious. They are supposed to be played and enjoyed and something to look forward to. The interview made it seem like sports are anything but fun. I would much rather enjoy what i play than chase impossible milestones and be miserable.
I understand where you are coming from and I do agree with you. However, this generation is focusing more on creating a balance. They are trying to not take their work too seriously. People are trying to enjoy what they do. Your work shouldn't define your self-worth. It shouldn't be the only thing that defines you. Being sincere about your work is different than being consumed by it for most of your life until you retire. There was a study published in positive psychology which concluded that people who are younger tend to chase power, accomplishment, and fame but as they get older they start regretting their choices and wish that they could've tried to enjoy every aspect of their lives instead of chasing fame. She did all of it because she wanted to but that doesn't necessarily mean it was right for her or that it should be the standard. She is being very honest about how she had to struggle so much to reach such great heights but I can give you example of great pioneers in sports who maintained a strong work-life balance and still managed to become the greatest. I am not sure if you have heard of Virat Kohli but he is one of the best cricket players in the world. People said nasty things to him when he decided to not play a match because he had to be there for his wife who was giving birth at the time. People called him a lot of things synonymous to being soft and stuff but people who have a little bit of Empathy and sense understood that he is more than just a sportsperson. He is a human being with a personal life. I admire that man for being there for his partner when she genuinely needed him. In Carli's dictionary, that guy would be called soft and that is what I find to be a very toxic mindset. Just because you are famous doesn't mean you can't be stupid sometimes.
@@varnikapachauri4197 Carli did mention the distinction b/w the two. I guess it was around discussing youth football...discussing when the blinders need to go on vs let them be kids. Virat Kohli - did not know that 1 incident about him. My 2 cents on it- if he had accumulated his leaves (or whatever system pro athletes have) it's upto him to play or to be with his wife. I have work and hobbies too. However it's my work that defines me. Since you mentioned the difference b/w generations- that's one big problem I have to deal with when managing my teams. Youngsters not putting in the hours and then complaining about the paycheck...and mid typing I just realized we might be going off topic. Anything I say here without context is just going to sound too much Scrooge McDuck.
This is a very well written response and on point. Also, people being "soft" isn't exactly a generational thing as far as I've been seeing. Irrespective of their ages, there are people who are "soft" and a minor inconvenience can quickly break them down. One must agree that it certainly becomes a problem when their minor inconveniences are projected as "tough battles/struggles of life". Our very own Ms. Ananya Pandey is a great example.
I'm not sure how much behind the scenes/training you watch for professional sports, but it is very much a serious career. Once you choose to make it your career instead of playing for fun, you need to take your training to a whole new level, because there are so many other people on the sidelines ready to replace you if you don't. Sorry I don't mean to come off as rude, I've just like watching sports documentaries.😅
Love that the hardest question was first (it is indeed called football!), but also her honest and raw opinion on the state of the athlete today. Her "soft" opinion can definitely carry over into a couple of other sports.
Everyone is different, success comes from each individual, that’s why we have outpatient groups, so we can all discuss and take different perspectives, each persons issue is different and changes your outlook on your own situation. He could interview a subway worker and get the same interview
Soccer is the correct term for her sport. Both soccer and football are terms invented in England/UK. The original terms were Soccer Football and Gridiron Football. England eventually dropped the Soccer portion of the name and Gridiron fell out of popularity in England/UK and took off in America where the Gridiron part of the name was dropped.
I agree with a lot of the other comments. Tbh 5 minutes in it makes sense. Thats how she proves herself. Now this might be to others or even proving certain things to herself. Id bet on this.
I'm not so sure how women's football is but in the men's side of things overworking and becoming jaded is a every lasting problem due to UEFA and FIFA pushing more and more useless competitions into the game along with players needing to play domestic games such as the league and league cup. Players are playing 3 games a week for extended amounts of time which is leading to more Players being at risk for injury. It's good that new upcoming players are speaking out but what she's doing goes against that especially since not all players are the same as her.
The whole time I been listening to the podcast I keep singing......it’s about drive, it’s about power, we stay hungry, we devour put in the work, put in the hours and take what’s ours black and samoan in my veins, my culture bangin’ with strange i change the game so what’s my name.
Hi Dr Mike, could you please make an informative video on insulin resistance and its development into diabetes? Thanks a lot in advance! Warm greetings from Germany ❤
So, Carli’s arguments are definitely fair at some points. I think where she falls short, and you saw it when she was on special forces, is neglecting the holistic approach to performance. She relied so heavily on the “just tough it out” mentally and didn’t always take advantage of other mental elements of the game. Even still, she’s one of the best to ever do it but she neglected a concept of balance which is what she said. I think the pendulum has swung too far the other way where we’re too concerned with “supporting” or coddling athletes and not really stretching. To be a high performer, you have to have a balance between high stretch and high support
Just because overtraining helped her doesn't mean it will help us and beside we are all completely different people with different professions and she's very ARROGANT
Maybe people got softer. maybe they didn't. However it is very difficult to compare your own life journey and your efforts to someone that maybe has the same talent but can't dedicate the majority of their week to training and sports or who doesn't have the same access to training in their home country, or doesn't have the regular access to to food and water. People want to say that they and their hard work did it all alone, but there's more variables than just hard work...yes there's also talent how much you want it, but I am talking about resources. that doesn't mean she didn't work hard for it, but she still had a bit of luck for being born in a family that didn't marry her off at 9 years old or that she had to train while having a handful of kids to care for. and you have to be willing and able to make sacrifices. I am not talking about just in training, but not being able to contribute socially in the way others can or relying on others to maintain your relationships, sacrificing opportunities in education or work because they will limit your ability to train. It's a mix of hard work, passion, talent and opportunity.
I think shes wrong about athletes of the newer generations. The ones at the top still go above and beyond everyine else. They just do it better and more balanced now.
Dr Mike ....my name is Sara and I'm Egyptian I hope to be a doctor like you ...I'm in the Third year of high school this year I love all of your videos You are my role model and ideal
Athlets say they know their bodies (some obviously do) but athletes are notorious for downplaying or playing about injuries to continue to play. Ryan reaves just said his knees are so loose that he has to wear knee braces while doing anything. And also said he is healthy enough to play in the nhl in the same paragraph.
I loved soccer as a kid. Watched that movie with Keira Knightley over and over. Was pretty good at kick ball, it's like soccer and baseball combined it's cool.
19:01 me! I retired from my sport and thought wel I'll just do the same thing but then my brain knows no matter how much I want to trick it there's no game on Saturday so why? Hahahaha
Hi Dr. Mike! I'm 11 y/o. I'm 5'9 (female). I've always been tallest than everyone in my grade every year. Should I be concered by my tall height? Mom: 5'8 Father: 6'3 love your channel! 💗💖
Science and our understanding of physiology has grown tremendously since Carli Lloyd’s time, however everyone’s physical/biological make up is unique and is heavily influenced by one’s lived experiences. For some athletes overtraining might have paid off well, while for others it’s led to early abrupt ends in their careers. All in all, pushing yourself to get better/improve is never a bad thing and it’s a mindset that’s created many famous athletes in history, however as long as it’s within one’s limits and incremental.
L for not talking about team dynamic or this year's women's world cup and for no "check your reflexes" round. Please don't get lazy with these podcasts because I actually like these
Doctor, since you’re the medical professional here, and I’m a young person and it’s 08:14 in the morning for me. Is it normal for a friction burn to prevent movement of the knee? Or is that bad-
Dr. Mike-nice interview! One correction: the /i/ in the word "tribulations" is a short vowel and pronounced as in the word "pin" or "him" (not like the /y/ in "try").
Hey doctor mike. It’s my dog’s birthday and I wondered if you could wish her a happy birthday. And give me some tips with making a good audience I can’t afford your website to get a call with you😢
olá DR. eu me inscrevi agora no seu canal, sou do Brasil e estou adorando sua abordagem aos mais diferentes temas, sou estudando de medicina e um dia quero ser como você. hello DR. I just subscribed to your channel, i'm from Brasil and I'm loving your approach to the most different subjects, I'm studying medicine and one day I want to be like you.
Hey doctor mike. You've talked about genetic test multiple times. What is your thought on genetic tests for reactions to medications which are more likely to work and which are less likely. I think gensight and clarityxdna do them.
Considering her responses to other questions and her take on people training based on their drive (hobby vs profession) and how they feel (soreness vs injury), I don’t think her saying people are soft was that atrocious.
I think until people actually see the constant complaining and goofing off from the youth, they won’t understand where she’s coming from. If the kids have stuff to fall back on that will cushion their success, they won’t work as hard as that person who is aiming to be the best from either internal motivation or for financial reasons.
@@jcruit6057 that’s essentially what I got from it. Can you be successful with cushions? Yes. But, if we’re talking about being the best of the best? We’ve heard this time and time again from various successful people and we have the phrase “it’s lonely at the top” for a reason. There is a certain amount of balance you’ll have to give up to achieve that level of greatness. There are some “negative” qualities you’ll have to embody to achieve that. People look down on people in corporate positions of power for those reasons, but they needed to be that way to get where they are; to be as successful as they are.
She does make it clear that there’s a big difference between being a professional athlete and being a rec player. I do think they could have spent another 15 or 20 minutes just on the problems with your sports in America.
Hey doctor mike this may be really off topic but i have a question and maybe if you can answer it in a video. How do our voices change and why (ik because of puberty but i need more explanation lol)
to @doctor mike you made me more aware and made me suport kids in hospitals by make public events for charity i know you arent trying to make us like this but you gave me the feeling my helps was worth sorry about my bad english spelling but just want you to know your content make us viewers better in somme ways :)
28:07 Absolutely, I went to practice and my teammates wouldn't go hard in practice. I tried to push them but they didn't want it, they didn't want to get tired or hurt. I hated it. Practice like you play.
As a coach, I have seen players like you time and time again. I commend you for showing up and taking practice seriously because not everyone does and the coaches do notice the ones that are there to actually get better and the ones that just show up because they have to.
@@kategrossi8717 "because they have to" should indicate that those players are not trying to reach pro level goals and should also not be pushed into that mentality. Kudos to the people that deeply care, but if it's anything other than college level athletics, you're going to have plenty of players that don't care as much.
@@TheSwauzz whether kids are trying to go pro or not(the likelihood of anyone becoming pro is so small).. I still feel as though my kids should be putting in the effort to be there. I stand by that for anything in life, why go to college to just get by? Why go to work to just get a paycheck.. in my opinion, if you're doing anything in life, you should always be putting forth effort to be the best you can be.
am i wrong? i feel like it's a natural part of a retired athelete's coping mechanism on not being involved in their sport anymore to complain about the current state of affairs of their sport. i find this to be a common trope amongst retired athletes from a variety of sports.
It feels like a common trope among all retirees, I think it's because they have nothing to do.
Yes. It's common in all fields.
@@PontschPauPau3451 Exactly
Well she had to keep her mouth shut when on the team because of rapinoe's bullshit. The USA just had the worst performance in a world cup, so is she really wrong?
She has always been critical of herself and how her teammates, the youth, and the others train. It is her style. Kobe would say the same thing because they were driven by something different. (but she isn't far off, it's a different-more lax approach.
Survivor bias. She got good because she took risks. Other people who took similar risks suffered but she managed to get through it therefore gaining popularity. Her message is the loudest because she survived when in reality we should still try to look at evidence based medicine as a basis for training regimes.
Very very well done Carli for your sacrifice and achievements, but many were not as fortunate as yourself. Please don't advocate that others take the risks you took to become a legend, let others find their own path for their own goals.
Great interview by Doctor Mike, and excellent responses from Carli even though I have some disagreements on both sides.
Yeah, survivor bias sums it up very well.
keep coping like that for your whole life brother!

That describes most of the people crying about what she said.
Just because she was successful doing it her way doesn't mean science is bad or that we should ignore the things that show overtraining is bad.
Exactly. A lot of people have limits that need to be found out before doing anything. I myself can't overdo something as it literally makes my pain worse.
Didn't Dr. Mike say the reason he underperformed during his last boxing match was because he over trained and didn't allow himself to recover from the training... 😂 Your athletic performance can actually increase if you're training properly and recovering, if you're not recovering you're just getting in your own way by doing more work. Bro science is dumb.
well you can take it easy and stay at the bottom
@@zipy4900 What a stupid comment.
@@zipy4900 You can keep injuring yourself and stay at the bottom.
Structured training programs that follow rules like 80% easy/20% hard have been studied to demonstrate that it's arguably the most effective way of improving performance for people at ANY level. Eliud Kipchoge is not running 100 miles a week at his competition 4:35 per mile pace. Anybody that goes 100% hard all the time is likely just going to break down, and we literally see this happen to athletes all the time.
Meanwhile, my physical therapist tells me EVERY WEEK to make sure I'm not overdoing it as we try to undo the damage what 20 years of "pushing myself" did

My cousins played soccer all throughout childhood and during high school. They were injured so many times that they both sustained permanent damage. One of them was unable to pursue a military career because of how wrecked his body was. There’s something wrong going on with the sport when just playing for the joy of it destroys your future.
What’s your point? I’ve played soccer most my life until 7h and 8th grade then went back in high school, I never got injured or my friends and we played a lot of soccer outside while still playing with a team.
Anecdotal evidence is not evidence
Your cousins played football.
@jesslioce To be fair, anecdotal evidence like that is backed up by a lot of actual numerical evidence and research about the increasing number of injuries (particularly to the knee) that are happening in sports such as football (soccer) and American football.
Choosing to spend time with your family, choosing bodily health & longevity, choosing mental health/happiness & not having the privilege to drop everything for what is initially a "hobby" is not "soft". High level athletes are definitely at the peak of hard work, but that does not mean "everyone else that doesn't get to this level" is soft. Simone Biles stepped down because of "the yips" due to a mental block. She is the the most-decorated female gymnast with seven Olympic medals, but is she "soft"? This toxic, privileged mindset puts athletes and ppl at risk of injury.
Could not agree more with you. People should stay in their own lane and not cast judgment onto others based on their own personal experience. She is talented and dedicated. Plenty of people have injured themselves irrevocably pushing themselves. It's not worth it for many people and that's perfectly fine. I would argue normal people avoid injuring themselves...
@TheSwauzz An example is Harden, in 2021 against the Bucks he tore his hammy. But in desperation to play the medstaff lied and claimed it was a lesser injury and he rushed to come back. Harden reaggrevated the injury upon his return and that set him back the following seasons
Working hard....is a privilege . It's called sacrifice.
White people are always so full if excuses. Lol
And had Simone pushed through (like Carli may have liked to see - not be "soft") she very well could have died or been paralyzed. I follow gymnastics closely and what sticks out in their training is that the older the gymnasts get, the more efficient and shorter their time training gets but they still produce the same results as when they were training 40 hours a week. Training smarter not harder should be everyone's goal.
@@unhealthyhomeostasis and not taking risks did what? She could have seen as someone who fought through it all and been phenomenal instead she stayed with being your every day Olympian that quit
I’m doubting if what she says about being soft is completely accurate… Yes, some people became softer in this generation definitely. But if you look at athletes saying they are overplayed then they simply are. Currently there are so many ACL injuries in the women’s game it’s sad to see. In my opinion those girls have all the right to complain about being overplayed. And that has absolutely nothing to do with being soft.
I feel like she doesn't really buy it she spent the entire interview saying damn I wish I had taken the breaks and stopped more what she did made her the best lady's soccer and I respect it but she knows she wasn't doing what was healthy for her there has to be a balance between the lab shit and the field shit
It's like in her mind if you aren't pushing yourself so hard you're potentially injuring yourself, you're "soft". Not a fan.
No will power or willing to make sacrifices
@@deathmauler181There’s a difference between sacrifices and risking your health. If you don’t have your health, you have nothing. People that have taken similar risks as her become crippled at a young age due to injury.
@@thejessifar4619 no there really isn't sometimes they go hand in hand to achieve greatness no matter the venture in life
Overtraining is not a good thing. It’s called over because it is.
My mom was in a warzone for 3 years. She’s a lot tougher then her soft ass could ever be lol. Tough people don’t talk about how tough they are.
So learn from your mother not to be soft. Learn to reach for the stars learn from your mother to achieve whatever you want.
Results not excuses.
shes projecting... she isolated her self and stopped talking to her family and was a workahlic and was sucesfull so she thinks everyone shoudl do it that way
Your comment reminded me of some American billionaire famous for overworking his employees lmao
@@DannyCosmos on point, that is how the elite thinks in general. Or at least the reason they use the legitimize inequality.
"than" ..not "then". ... You should have payed attention in school. "lol"
I appreciate her sentiment; however, I think "being soft" is a symptom of our generation having more awareness of our mental and physical health and taking precautions to protect ourselves in an increasingly hostile world. Not all of us want to be the best at something. I just want to live a simple, happy life with people I love. She said it herself-she took some hits to her mental health on her journey to become the best. Not everyone is willing to do that and I don't think it's because we lack resilience, I think it's because we're more aware of the sacrifices that are required to be the best at something and aren't willing to make those sacrifices in a world like this. She's an icon and succeeded in chasing her dream. Good for her! But, I think the notion that our generation is "being soft" is a reductionist argument.
100%, could not agree more
You summed up what I wanted to say about the blanket statement of a whole generation being soft. It doesn’t help anyone to say that kind of reductive comment ya know?
@@dozer11 It helps her feed her ego that she got where she is because she's super special and just SUCH a hard worker, and not that she benefited from luck and circumstances outside of her control.
Also some of the best athletes in the world are people that follow programs structured to not overtrain or overload their bodies. Load management is a major thing in the NBA for example, and I think it's pretty dumb to say they're just being soft - they just don't want to go out like Yao Ming who could have had a much greater career than he did but his body just broke down.
@@PontschPauPau3451I think what she also leaves out is Jordan and even Kobe no friends. When you push yourself that hard to be the best, you alienate everyone. And then someone like Ronnie Coleman pushed himself too hard that his body is failing him today. The cost of greatness could be considered too much by some.
She's an absolute legend, an inspiration to many generations to come. Everyone in my family knows Carli Lloyd. We had so many wonderful memories watching her play, especially in World Cup games. We want to see Lloyd continue with her career as a soccer commentator or a soccer coach. We missed her. We want to see her more often on TV.
she might be a good coach, i would like to see it happen, and then see how she does as TEAM USA coach for the women's team
who?
There's just an air of "bootstraps" mentality to her talk about the athletes of today. She happens to be talented. She happens to have not ended her career pushing herself so hard. And I get it, she likes feeling special and superior, and she doesn't want to feel like she pushed her body beyond the safe zone to not be remembered. But the idea that kids today are soft for wanting to make sure they can walk into their 80's without needing heavy (and expensive) medical intervention is just ridiculous. People with their whole lives ahead of them want to know that they get to enjoy those lives. They want to know that they won't have to live off of a single big prize, or even have nothing at all. It's not being soft, it's being sensible. Sure, sensible doesn't sound as romantic, but oddly enough romance doesn't provide any of the day to day necessities like food, water, shelter, or rest. Honestly, she should be excited that the youth of today won't have to make the sacrifices she made nor take the risks she took, instead of sounding like that old timer who won't shut up about how kids today have it too easy- as if that wasn't the point.
100%. As a 33 year old with the knees and back of a 60+ year old, I tell all my nieces and nephews to take care of their body.
Happens to be talented ??? How do you think she got to be talented?? She put in the work to be the best not some mediocre slouch. SHE is an example of a great woman of a woman others should look up to.
She craved greatness n climbed for it ,reached it. And proudly where she is cause she fucking earned
@@TheSwauzz so cause you didnt take care of yourself, t
Cause you didnt have the desire to reach for the stars ,your constant gripe with her is what? She reminds you of what you could have been had you dedicated yourself to your passion? That isnt a dig at you personally but this "poor me mindset " that you can spewing about.
@@deathmauler181wow, you got all that from this person saying, take care of your body. You can push yourself to the max, and still take care of your body.
Kinda got that toxic athlete/boomer mindset. Surprising.
I would just like to say thank you to Dr. Mike. I watch your videos all the time and thanks to your videos I passed my cpr test and got my certifaication. 2 inches deep 100 beats a minute STAYIN ALIVE!!!!
I have the utmost respect for her as a footballer, she is one of the best women players of all time, but I just lost a lot of respect for her as a person. She talks about coming from the bottom, but she lives in a bubble and judges people outside her bubble. I hope she finds happiness because I feel like she is a really sad person. Enjoyment is not the same as lack of effort. If you never enjoy your success, when will you going to feel happiness and fulfillment?
Dr. Mike made it seem like he was trying to take that feeling away from her, such as when he said, 'Are you saying that you have to be sad to be the best?' I wish her the best, but I am not looking forward to any more interviews with her.
So you make excuses and have no fire to get anywhere. Good job. She came from nothing and became greatness. You should look up to her strength of will. And learn to reach for the stars
Sad no,HUNGRY to be the best.
When there are better examples to learn from, why'd they follow her :/
She judges other people that way as a defense mechanism, they are the symbol of what she sacrificed and she cannot give it value otherwise what she achieved may not have been worth it.
@@n0nenone she is an example of someone who bucked the odds and became great its not that she deserved it ,she EARNED it.
Coming from nothing and wanting more than what she was supposed to accept and be okay with what she was given.
People like the lot in the comments attacking her ,hate her because she's a prime example that all they do is make excuses.
In any other situation people would look at her strength of will as a hero instead,so many of you lot look at her as a reminder of what a,strong person ,a strong woman can do. A reminder of what so many of you lot aren't. But because she makes so many of you look like losers yall are mad at her when she holds a mirror to you.
Much respect to her for challenging herself a lot and always going out of her comfort zone. It's really great that she manages to do that. And it's also great that she actually sees soccer now as it is, selfish with a lot of money involved. Hats off for her.
I for myself have great difficulties in leaving my normal comfort zone but since I love creating things with my hands like out of wood or whatever, I always get to that point where I look for things that really challenge me and where I really need to think and find a ways to get the things I create exactly as I want them to be and since I'm a little perfectionist with that it can take a long time and a lot of nerves

@@HeavensFallenPhoenix you call it soccer dont you
We appreciate how Dr Mike is detailed with his analysis on various matters. We know for certain he's very spot on with everything he says. We wish him all the best no matter what.
How is she saying everyone is soft but SHE wanted to know if the reality show had a masseuse or not? Jesussss.
What? She was doing abbreviated dangerous Special Forces exercises and to compare that to sports? She didn't ask for load management while she played. Period.

Hopefully I will be a doctor too. 🙂
Getting a heart rate monitor was the thing that alerted me that my heart rate wasn't going below 100bpm at all even when resting which was why I was struggling to catch my breath when training or racing
Over training is a problem I see in the gym a lot. I’ve over trained before and it horrible. Your literally become weaker, slower and eventually smaller if you go on to far. Deload for me is necessary about every 7-9 weeks
I love the game of soccer. I, just like so many others look up to pro athletes and I think hearing her side of the story was really cool.
I think Carli makes a good point about how people are a lot more self reliant anything other than the intuitiveness of our own bodies but goddamn is saying people are "soft" such a bad take. A lot of people work there ass off and just don't see success, just because you hear about the MJ's or the Kobe's who worked there ass of and made it, it doesn't mean there are thousands of others that don't. And if you don't balance yourself, then you are fully reliant on 'making it' and you don't learn of other ways that you can contribute and learn, like watching games for example. If you don't make it you are literally destroying your body and mind, essentially for nothing. It's literally survivorship bias at it's finest.
Even just looking at the stats it's apparent that people are overworking; Lonzo ball is a perfect example of this, he will probably never play again and a major contributor to that was how much he trained when he was younger. Just like the increasing amount of injuries amongst younger players, obviously it's not all because of overworking but it plays a significant part.
They are soft. It's TRUE. They don't from there have the mindset to get themselves out of the treadmill of going fast and going nowhere.
Most people have a losers mentality in that they just accept what they are given cause they don't take risks or want to do the work to put them in a better position. People largely are against putting in those long hours to get what they really want

She is probably suffering form something that working hard in football fulfilled. I see this a little bit like parents beating and yelling at their children because their parents did that and they turned out "well". This thing we call humanity is an experiment and there is no right way to live or train that guarantees success. Those soft people might be a lot happier than she was or she was a bit masochistic and derived pleasure from the gain through pain.
I think Dr. Mike and Carli both had some good insight and ideas through out the whole interview, definitely some things to ponder on!
We're too soft? Yeah I can't argue.
Workaholic here whose really bad at prioritizing my mental health (thanks anxiety), but have learned through my current job how important vacations are and have made sure to take at least one every year since I was eligible because it allows me the opportunity to refresh myself and reset my brain which ultimately helps me with my sanity/mental health to keep working as hard as I can.
Because I haven’t yet taken a vacation this year (I’m thinking of taking mine in September like I did last year), I actually had to take a mental health day the other day and not go to work because my anxiety spiked through the roof and I wasn’t in a good place mentally or physically because I only got 30-45 minutes of sleep and it reminded me that I need to take my vacation sooner rather than later, if you don’t prioritize your mental health it will come back to bite you!
"We're Too Soft" Says millionaire ex US soccer celebrity. Really
There's a reason why Nordic countries have 6 weeks paid vacation. That's because rest, restitution and vacation makes people better at handling every day and at work.

Great interview. Two Titans of industry getting to know each other professionally. Awesome 😎
She’s an inspiration ps It’s actually a interesting story about how football became soccer here in the US.
who?
Funny thing is the Brits actually coined the term soccer…
Ayee! Fellow retired NJ Olympic athlete here! I would disagree with the work harder than everyone else. I would instead say work harder than 95% of everyone else and have a better mindset than anyone else. When you get to the top 5% your mindset will sort out the rest. What I mean by that is never think "I lost because he cheated" or "I lost because I wasn't feeling it today", instead think "I lost because I wasn't good enough" then take apart the situation piece by piece and analyze what you can improve on. If you are in the top 5% and you have a bad day, then you'd still destroy someone in the bottom 5%, if you want to be the best then you need to be able to beat the person who's second best even on a bad day. That is the mindset that will drive you to the top.
The second thing I would say is don't listen to others if your goal is to be the best, especially if they themselves aren't the best. If someone tells you you're wrong, try it anyway. Maybe you'll actually be wrong, but then you'll have the experience to tell you why and that may inspire you to try something that does work for you. I had 2 coaches, both Olympic gold medalists, the only thing they ever did was teach me the fundamentals, answer my questions, and warn me if I was going to injure myself. Everything else was left up to me to figure out and create a style that worked for me.
So if your goal is the top, there's 3 steps. 1. Take full responsibility 2. Analyze what you can improve even if you won 3. Be creative and think out of the box
So I am bulgarian and I was taking an acting class and actually the advanced class was filming a medical comedy series. There are only two episodes out and I don't know linguistically how things can work out (it is in bulgarian), but I really want you to check it out. It is called "Смешно отделение"... "Funny room" (from Emergency room). It is NOT medically accurate but it's funny.
"the youth of today are soft" said by a lady who was replaced as professional by the youth of today.
Because everyone ages. Not like she would be able to compete while being 40 or 50.
Tbf it's how it works. The older you get, the slower your reflexes, the less burden you can put on your body, etc.
A better example would be the pro women's team that lost to 11-15 year Old boys. But that's prob a gender thing and not an age thing.
An athlete doesn't have a long career playing the sport because the physical stresses placed on the body and injuries that have slowly accumulated. While you could still play games but you will never be as able as once you were and have to use the knowledge and experience to keep up with the younger athletes. So being replaced is more to getting older than being soft.
@@randominternetguy3537 sex*
its the attitude she is referring to
Just a thing about the beginning. Isn't it normal to have only 1 pair of cleats? Most of the kids I played with in my youth (including myself) used one pair until they were completely worn out. Same with the goal in the backyard. I knew like only a couple of kids that actually had a small goal at home in those years of playing football.

@@PontschPauPau3451 I'm glad we think the same hahah
27:45 agree, today's generation in financially middle class and upper class are.
Apart from her tone deaf comment about an entire generation being soft, one thing that I noticed about this interview to be so off putting is that sports are not supposed to be this goddamn serious. They are supposed to be played and enjoyed and something to look forward to. The interview made it seem like sports are anything but fun. I would much rather enjoy what i play than chase impossible milestones and be miserable.
Well, as a 'professional athlete' it was her profession. It's no different from either of us talking about our jobs.
I understand where you are coming from and I do agree with you. However, this generation is focusing more on creating a balance. They are trying to not take their work too seriously. People are trying to enjoy what they do. Your work shouldn't define your self-worth. It shouldn't be the only thing that defines you. Being sincere about your work is different than being consumed by it for most of your life until you retire. There was a study published in positive psychology which concluded that people who are younger tend to chase power, accomplishment, and fame but as they get older they start regretting their choices and wish that they could've tried to enjoy every aspect of their lives instead of chasing fame. She did all of it because she wanted to but that doesn't necessarily mean it was right for her or that it should be the standard. She is being very honest about how she had to struggle so much to reach such great heights but I can give you example of great pioneers in sports who maintained a strong work-life balance and still managed to become the greatest. I am not sure if you have heard of Virat Kohli but he is one of the best cricket players in the world. People said nasty things to him when he decided to not play a match because he had to be there for his wife who was giving birth at the time. People called him a lot of things synonymous to being soft and stuff but people who have a little bit of Empathy and sense understood that he is more than just a sportsperson. He is a human being with a personal life. I admire that man for being there for his partner when she genuinely needed him. In Carli's dictionary, that guy would be called soft and that is what I find to be a very toxic mindset. Just because you are famous doesn't mean you can't be stupid sometimes.
@@varnikapachauri4197 Carli did mention the distinction b/w the two. I guess it was around discussing youth football...discussing when the blinders need to go on vs let them be kids.
Virat Kohli - did not know that 1 incident about him. My 2 cents on it- if he had accumulated his leaves (or whatever system pro athletes have) it's upto him to play or to be with his wife.
I have work and hobbies too. However it's my work that defines me. Since you mentioned the difference b/w generations- that's one big problem I have to deal with when managing my teams. Youngsters not putting in the hours and then complaining about the paycheck...and mid typing I just realized we might be going off topic. Anything I say here without context is just going to sound too much Scrooge McDuck.
This is a very well written response and on point. Also, people being "soft" isn't exactly a generational thing as far as I've been seeing. Irrespective of their ages, there are people who are "soft" and a minor inconvenience can quickly break them down. One must agree that it certainly becomes a problem when their minor inconveniences are projected as "tough battles/struggles of life". Our very own Ms. Ananya Pandey is a great example.
I'm not sure how much behind the scenes/training you watch for professional sports, but it is very much a serious career. Once you choose to make it your career instead of playing for fun, you need to take your training to a whole new level, because there are so many other people on the sidelines ready to replace you if you don't. Sorry I don't mean to come off as rude, I've just like watching sports documentaries.😅
Love that the hardest question was first (it is indeed called football!), but also her honest and raw opinion on the state of the athlete today. Her "soft" opinion can definitely carry over into a couple of other sports.
It‘s football everywhere but the US. So, yes, it‘s football. 😁
Everyone is different, success comes from each individual, that’s why we have outpatient groups, so we can all discuss and take different perspectives, each persons issue is different and changes your outlook on your own situation.

I’m literally watching one of your other videos right now 😅
Soccer is the correct term for her sport. Both soccer and football are terms invented in England/UK. The original terms were Soccer Football and Gridiron Football. England eventually dropped the Soccer portion of the name and Gridiron fell out of popularity in England/UK and took off in America where the Gridiron part of the name was dropped.
Complains about not being paid enough despite not generating revenue and talks about soft lol
I agree with a lot of the other comments. Tbh 5 minutes in it makes sense. Thats how she proves herself. Now this might be to others or even proving certain things to herself. Id bet on this.
I'm not so sure how women's football is but in the men's side of things overworking and becoming jaded is a every lasting problem due to UEFA and FIFA pushing more and more useless competitions into the game along with players needing to play domestic games such as the league and league cup. Players are playing 3 games a week for extended amounts of time which is leading to more Players being at risk for injury. It's good that new upcoming players are speaking out but what she's doing goes against that especially since not all players are the same as her.
The whole time I been listening to the podcast I keep singing......it’s about drive, it’s about power, we stay hungry, we devour

Hi Dr Mike, could you please make an informative video on insulin resistance and its development into diabetes?
Thanks a lot in advance! Warm greetings from Germany ❤
Wow. She is literally claiming her privileges and genetics are available to everyone and anything less is laziness.
True tho
As an INFP, with ADHD, I can't relate. lol Balance and softness is everything for me.
So, Carli’s arguments are definitely fair at some points. I think where she falls short, and you saw it when she was on special forces, is neglecting the holistic approach to performance. She relied so heavily on the “just tough it out” mentally and didn’t always take advantage of other mental elements of the game. Even still, she’s one of the best to ever do it but she neglected a concept of balance which is what she said. I think the pendulum has swung too far the other way where we’re too concerned with “supporting” or coddling athletes and not really stretching. To be a high performer, you have to have a balance between high stretch and high support
Just because overtraining helped her doesn't mean it will help us and beside we are all completely different people with different professions and she's very ARROGANT
When people say..."I had to do some soul searching."
That always seems like a nothing statement.
Dident Carli miss *an ENTIRE year* because of a knee sprain? Don’t think she has the right to call anyone else soft 😂😂😂
Jeez, just based on that opening line alone, it makes me not want to listen to a single thing she has to say.
Maybe people got softer. maybe they didn't.
However it is very difficult to compare your own life journey and your efforts to someone that maybe has the same talent but can't dedicate the majority of their week to training and sports or who doesn't have the same access to training in their home country, or doesn't have the regular access to to food and water.
People want to say that they and their hard work did it all alone, but there's more variables than just hard work...yes there's also talent how much you want it, but I am talking about resources.
that doesn't mean she didn't work hard for it, but she still had a bit of luck for being born in a family that didn't marry her off at 9 years old or that she had to train while having a handful of kids to care for.
and you have to be willing and able to make sacrifices. I am not talking about just in training, but not being able to contribute socially in the way others can or relying on others to maintain your relationships, sacrificing opportunities in education or work because they will limit your ability to train.
It's a mix of hard work, passion, talent and opportunity.
I hope she finally convinced herself “being the best” was indeed the best choice.
I think shes wrong about athletes of the newer generations. The ones at the top still go above and beyond everyine else. They just do it better and more balanced now.
Dr.Mike you are my favorite TH-camr
Dr Mike ....my name is Sara and I'm Egyptian
I hope to be a doctor like you ...I'm in the Third year of high school this year
I love all of your videos
You are my role model and ideal
For answering medical questions; When you get a MRI if necessary. Why was my arm so sore and unable to move?
Athlets say they know their bodies (some obviously do) but athletes are notorious for downplaying or playing about injuries to continue to play. Ryan reaves just said his knees are so loose that he has to wear knee braces while doing anything. And also said he is healthy enough to play in the nhl in the same paragraph.
I loved soccer as a kid. Watched that movie with Keira Knightley over and over. Was pretty good at kick ball, it's like soccer and baseball combined it's cool.
When she said "soft" I understand where she is coming from, but I think "soft" isn't entirely the correct word for the explanation she gave.
Same here.
I didn't even break anything I loved the scooter. My nephew and I called it scoot scoot. I miss that scooter so many memories 😢 😪.
I have a runny nose like all the time and I think I'm allergic to pollen. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
19:01 me! I retired from my sport and thought wel I'll just do the same thing but then my brain knows no matter how much I want to trick it there's no game on Saturday so why? Hahahaha
Hi Dr. Mike! I'm 11 y/o. I'm 5'9 (female). I've always been tallest than everyone in my grade every year. Should I be concered by my tall height? Mom: 5'8 Father: 6'3 love your channel! 💗💖
Science and our understanding of physiology has grown tremendously since Carli Lloyd’s time, however everyone’s physical/biological make up is unique and is heavily influenced by one’s lived experiences. For some athletes overtraining might have paid off well, while for others it’s led to early abrupt ends in their careers. All in all, pushing yourself to get better/improve is never a bad thing and it’s a mindset that’s created many famous athletes in history, however as long as it’s within one’s limits and incremental.
L for not talking about team dynamic or this year's women's world cup and for no "check your reflexes" round. Please don't get lazy with these podcasts because I actually like these
Doctor, since you’re the medical professional here, and I’m a young person and it’s 08:14 in the morning for me. Is it normal for a friction burn to prevent movement of the knee? Or is that bad-
OR ANYBODY’S ADVICE-
HOW THE HELL DO YOU TREAT A FRICTION BURN WHEN YOU CAN’T STRAIGHTEN YOUR KNEE-?
Dr. Mike-nice interview! One correction: the /i/ in the word "tribulations" is a short vowel and pronounced as in the word "pin" or "him" (not like the /y/ in "try").
Every time I watch your videos, it reminds me of Ryle from it ends with us lol😂
her words have always inspired me and always will
Great interview
Another Doctor Mike video let's go
I only have to say one thing to Carly. "Okay Boomer"
She’s not even old enough to qualify as Gen X, dingleberry.
Love Carli Lloyd 🫶🏼 miss seeing her play and loved hearing her take on self-discipline!
1 youtuber right here !!!!
Hey doctor mike. It’s my dog’s birthday and I wondered if you could wish her a happy birthday. And give me some tips with making a good audience I can’t afford your website to get a call with you😢
Question do you know what Pectuscarnitrim? And what does it affect

Hey doctor mike. You've talked about genetic test multiple times. What is your thought on genetic tests for reactions to medications which are more likely to work and which are less likely. I think gensight and clarityxdna do them.
Dr. Mike, please make a video on bad breath and the various causes
FOOTBALL IS LIFE!⚽💙
For well over 2000 here's one generations been complaining about the next-generation for not doing enough for doing this or being lazy .
Considering her responses to other questions and her take on people training based on their drive (hobby vs profession) and how they feel (soreness vs injury), I don’t think her saying people are soft was that atrocious.
I think until people actually see the constant complaining and goofing off from the youth, they won’t understand where she’s coming from. If the kids have stuff to fall back on that will cushion their success, they won’t work as hard as that person who is aiming to be the best from either internal motivation or for financial reasons.
@@jcruit6057 that’s essentially what I got from it. Can you be successful with cushions? Yes. But, if we’re talking about being the best of the best? We’ve heard this time and time again from various successful people and we have the phrase “it’s lonely at the top” for a reason. There is a certain amount of balance you’ll have to give up to achieve that level of greatness. There are some “negative” qualities you’ll have to embody to achieve that. People look down on people in corporate positions of power for those reasons, but they needed to be that way to get where they are; to be as successful as they are.
She does make it clear that there’s a big difference between being a professional athlete and being a rec player. I do think they could have spent another 15 or 20 minutes just on the problems with your sports in America.
@@grahamstrouse1165 *with sports in America. Not sure if that was a mistake or not so, just to be sure.
Doctor Mike what do you do when someone has a pulse but they're not responding? (P.S I love your vids
So basically women's USA Team is better than Men's USA Team
Hey doctor mike this may be really off topic but i have a question and maybe if you can answer it in a video. How do our voices change and why (ik because of puberty but i need more explanation lol)
Nice video doctor Mike, you are my favorite youtuber.
to @doctor mike you made me more aware and made me suport kids in hospitals by make public events for charity i know you arent trying to make us like this but you gave me the feeling my helps was worth sorry about my bad english spelling but just want you to know your content make us viewers better in somme ways :)
Hey doctor Mike I have I broken collour bone what should I do
28:07 Absolutely, I went to practice and my teammates wouldn't go hard in practice. I tried to push them but they didn't want it, they didn't want to get tired or hurt. I hated it. Practice like you play.
As a coach, I have seen players like you time and time again. I commend you for showing up and taking practice seriously because not everyone does and the coaches do notice the ones that are there to actually get better and the ones that just show up because they have to.
@@kategrossi8717 Thank you!
@@kategrossi8717 "because they have to" should indicate that those players are not trying to reach pro level goals and should also not be pushed into that mentality. Kudos to the people that deeply care, but if it's anything other than college level athletics, you're going to have plenty of players that don't care as much.
@@TheSwauzz whether kids are trying to go pro or not(the likelihood of anyone becoming pro is so small).. I still feel as though my kids should be putting in the effort to be there. I stand by that for anything in life, why go to college to just get by? Why go to work to just get a paycheck.. in my opinion, if you're doing anything in life, you should always be putting forth effort to be the best you can be.
I completely disagree. I’ve had teammates that basically do nothing in training but kill in actually comp games.
Who remembers the 2022 World Cup?
Great talk
