<p>🟡In the season one finale, Angela interviews Paul Bradley on the Spots of Time podcast about how he navigated a major shoulder injury that occurred while playing with his young sons, snapping ligaments attaching his shoulder to his clavicle and ending his powerlifting. 🟡Paul describes a practical, forward-looking mindset, relying on regular exercise, supportive family and workplaces, and social connection to maintain mood and manage stress. 🟡After 20 years of pain, he joined a University of Southampton trial using personalised, biomechanics-informed physiotherapy that reduced impingement and restored function. 🟡As his shoulder improved, he began pole fitness (described as akin to gymnastics), progressed through competitions with coaching, built flexibility to meet elite requirements, made the British team, and became a 2022 age-group world champion and world record holder, emphasizing pole’s strong mental health and community benefits.00:00 Welcome to the Podcast00:33 Paul’s Life Before Injury01:02 The Fall That Changed Everything02:24 Mindset and Moving Forward04:27 Exercise as a Life Anchor06:31 Support Networks Matter07:34 20 Years of Shoulder Pain08:43 Breakthrough Trial Physiotherapy10:27 Discovering Pole Fitness12:41 From Beginner to Champion15:38 Mental Health and Community18:15 Patience and Smart Training20:40 Social Connection Over Screens23:51 Advice and Goal Planning24:52 Spreadsheets for Routines27:22 Train With a Friend28:22 Closing Thanks and Subscribe#SpotsofTime #podcast #shoulderinjury #polesport #championmindset Find social media links for Spots of Time at:✳️ https://linktr.ee/SpotsofTime✳️<br></p>
