A GLIMPSE OF THE PAST

THE HISTORY OF THE OXMOOR FARM

Alexander Bullitt constantly worked to improve and expand his farm, and he quickly started work on a new home for his family. He supervised the building of a new one-and-a-half-story, colonial-style farmhouse, completed in 1791. Just one year later, as Alexander and Priscilla settled into their new home, Kentucky separated from Virginia and became self-governing. As the state of Kentucky grew, so did Oxmoor Farm and the Bullitt family.

After a long and prosperous life, Alexander Bullitt died on April 13, 1816, passing away at his beloved Oxmoor Farm. At the time of his death, there were 101 slaves living at Oxmoor Farm. These slaves were divided amongst his six children, who could keep or sell the enslaved people according to their own discretion. Bullitt left the farm itself to his eldest son William, who continued to expand the main house and supervise the farming of the land.

Alexander Bullitt went on to become a successful leader in the new state. He served as a leader in the Kentucky militia, The Oxmoor Farm, located just behind as trustee of the city of Louisville, and as Oxmoor Center mall, is also known as the a delegate to the first state convention in Bullitt estate. A Virginian named Alexander Kentucky. It was at this convention that he Bullitt originally purchased the land in worked with George Nichols to draft the 1787. Bullitt moved to Kentucky in 1783, first state constitution of Kentucky. He went when the region was considered a part of on to serve as one of Kentucky’s first state the Virginia frontier and settlers regularly senators and as the first lieutenant governor fought with Native Americans. By the time of the state. After a fruitful career in politics, he bought the land, he was already married Bullitt retired from political life in 1804 to Priscilla Christian, the daughter of and returned to Oxmoor Farm, where he Revolutionary War hero Colonial William continued to live and work as an affluent Christian and niece of the famous statesman farmer and slaveholder. Patrick Henry. The match was a good one, and the Bullitt family became prosperous Alexander Bullitt’s first marriage, to Priscilla as they stayed at Oxmoor. The family was Christian, ended with her death in 1806. supported by the labor of slaves who lived at The couple had four children, all of whom Oxmoor and worked in the fields or in the grew up at Oxmoor Farm. After her death, main house. Alexander married Mary Churchill Prather,

Since Bullitt purchased the land in 1787, Oxmoor Farm had continuously produced a variety of crops. Under Alexander and then William’s direction, the farm grew both tobacco and hemp, hemp eventually becoming the main product of the farm. Hemp, often used to make rope, was the major agricultural export of Kentucky at this time. The farm also produced livestock and a variety of other crops that supplemented the household diet. The smokehouse held the meat from the farm after it was smoked and preserved for the future. When it came time to eat, enslaved cooks and servants prepared the food for the family and guests in an outdoor kitchen.

Today, the name Oxmoor reminds many people of the Oxmoor Center shopping mall, located in the St. Matthews area of Louisville. However, frequent shoppers might be surprised to learn that the name Oxmoor has a much deeper history in the Louisville area - a history that extends all the way back to the 1700s, to the founding of Kentucky, and to the Civil War. For hundreds of years, Kentucky history was made at a place known as Oxmoor Farm.

Life at Oxmoor Farm did not change much from 1787 to 1860. Under Alexander and then William, the farm was a profitable estate. The Bullitt family lived in a comfortable main house. Although the

number of enslaved people living on the farm might vary, there were always enslaved people laboring on the farm and in the house. In the years leading up to the Civil War, there were at least forty or fifty enslaved people living and working at Oxmoor Farm. Although Kentucky never seceded from the Union during the Civil War, many in the state supported the Confederate cause. The Bullitt family chose to side with the Confederacy, and several members of the Bullitt family decided to leave their home and join the Confederate army. William

Bullitt’s sons, Thomas, James and Henry, enlisted and fought with Confederate General John Hunt Morgan. James was later killed in battle, and his two surviving brothers would go on to spend much of the war in a Union prison. The conflict would forever alter both the Bullitt family and Oxmoor Farm. William Bullitt shuttered the main house and rented out the land after the war was over and slavery made illegal. William’s closure of the farm highlights a key truth about Oxmoor Farm, that the success of the farm depended upon slave labor. From

the beginning, when Alexander Bullitt first named the farm, hundreds of enslaved peoples toiled there. They lived in slave cabins, first built of wood and then brick and stone, which dotted the farm grounds. Slaves did not have the ability to decide where or how they worked and could face punishment and violence if they did not obey the strict instructions of their masters. The Bullitt family also rented some of their slaves to rope factories, where they made rope from hemp fibers. When slaves attempted to escape to the free states of the north, as they did at Oxmoor Farm, they became the targets of slave catchers

who were paid to return them. Captured slaves who had attempted to escape faced punishment and the threat of being sold farther south to large cotton plantations. The Oxmoor Farm was divided between the Bullitt children after William’s death in 1877. The estate remained split until the early 1900s when William’s grandson, William Marshall Bullitt, purchased most of the original land and renovated the main house. Under his guidance, the main house and grounds were complemented by the addition of a garden, designed by Marian

The Oxmoor Farm did not remain whole forever, as part of the land was needed to build Interstate 64, but the main house and some of the outbuildings remain. The Oxmoor Farm is now a historic landmark and the helpful staff offer educational tours of the house and grounds. Visitors can still see four of the slave cabins, where generations of enslaved peoples lived and worked. They can also view the smokehouse, the ice house, the summer kitchens, a hemp barn, and several other preserved buildings. The staff, aware of the complicated history of the site, offer tours that highlight the experiences and stories of those who were marginalized and enslaved.

Curator Shirley Harmon says the following about her experience at Oxmoor Farm. “In 2012 I was hired to be on-site at the farm,” she says. “It was then I realized that history comes to life once you’re on-site. Today the site interprets the story of a Kentucky farm that has transformed, along with the state, from its colonial beginning to present day.” Those who take a tour of Oxmoor Farm will be able to view more than 200 years of Kentucky history - a glimpse of the past right here in Louisville. The Oxmoor Farm Foundation was established in 2017 with the mission to preserve, protect and promote the historic property.

Having grown up in Louisville, Terrance Mason was always a huge Muhammed Ali fan. Regarded by many as the greatest boxer of all time, Ali was an influential, charismatic athlete who cared about others and was known for saying, “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.” “He had a big influence on my life and so many others, so I decided to create a piece of art that honored him,” Mason says.

The painting, titled “The Day the Galaxy Stood Still: The Greatest Vs. The Man of Steel,” depicts Ali boxing Superman. The idea was born from a 1970s Superman comic. Mason started the piece years ago, but his perfectionistic tendencies stifled him so he put it aside. Working full time at a youth detention center didn’t help, as he had little free time to devote to his art.

reminder that Mason is on the right path.

His creations aren’t always on canvas or paper. His art incorporates a lot of carpentry work. In October of 2021, Mason suffered another accident when he lost part of his middle finger in a table-saw accident. The following day, however, he was back to creating art.

“My life started to show me that it’s still in my corner,” he says.

“I love what I do so much,” Mason says. “It doesn’t matter what’s going on in life. I have to do what makes me happy, and that’s creation. I love coming up with something different, something new every day.”

Since his painting was revealed at the Ali Center, Mason has heard from people he hasn’t seen in 30 years, wishing him well and congratulating him on a job well-done. Unfortunately, Mason recently lost his studio space so he’s on the hunt for an affordable location so he can continue his work. After facing so many difficulties, the display of “The Day the Galaxy Stood Still” is a nice

RIVER CITIES CONCERT BAND

LOCAL MUSIC GROUP CELEBRATES MORE THAN 40 YEARS OF PERFORMANCE place in May 1980. We even have one member in the band who was a part of that first concert.” In the mid-1980s the rehearsals were moved from the high school to River Valley Middle School in Jeffersonville due to Davis transferring there. As the band grew in size, more people from the Louisville side were joining, so it made sense to move the rehearsals over to Kentucky. They set up residency at St. Matthews Baptist Church.

When you hear the phrase “music city,” you might think of Nashville, Tennessee. Yet, our southern neighbor isn’t the only city where scores of talented folks reside. In our Derby City you’ll find excellent performers who are quite musically inclined. Some belong to the big guns such as the Louisville Orchestra, and then there are others who play with smaller organizations such as the River Cities Concert Band (RCCB).

If you aren’t familiar with the RCCB, then it’s time you knew more about it. The band is comprised of players from both southern Indiana and Louisville. According to band president and tuba player Steve Ellis, the RCCB began in 1980 with its first rehearsal in the Jeffersonville High School band room. “Gene Davis, the band director at the high school, was the first RCCB director, with Jeff Staten serving as the assistant director,” Ellis explains. “When Gene started the band, most of the members were his former students. We think the first concert took 14 / MARCH 2022 / TownePost.com

“One of our members attended that church and through him we made a connection,” Ellis says. “They were excited about us coming and playing, and we’ve been there ever since.” The band is actually a nonprofit, 501(c) (3) organization, and relies on fundraising and donations to keep it afloat. The money is used to purchase music and to provide a small stipend for their band director. As a community concert band, their instrumental makeup consists of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments only. They do not incorporate stringed

instruments such as guitars or pianos.

“We play one or two concerts a year in Bardstown, and we play in Jeffersonville frequently,” Ellis says. “The furthest we’ve gone, but have not gone since before COVID, is in Orleans, Indiana. We also play in Corydon, Indiana, on a regular basis. We have played a couple of times at the Parklands, which is a new venue for us. We would enjoy playing there again.”

“We play marches, popular music, show tunes, and some repertory that was written for concert bands,” Ellis says. “Some of the music we play is fairly new and has been written for concert bands within the last few years. Then there are a lot of classics that are close to 100 years old. A lot of the marches that everyone loves are from the golden age from the late 19th century to the early- to mid-20th century.

SARA GETTELFINGER CHANNELS HER ARTISTIC PASSIONS Writer / Andrew Toy Photographer / Zach Burrell

Sure, the stars come out of Hollywood, California, but who’s to say there aren’t some scattered in other parts of the country? We in Louisville can claim the right to such big-names as Muhammad Ali, Jennifer Lawrence and yes, even Tom Cruise (he did live here for a time before he made his way out to the west coast to stake his claim in fame). There are also some stars who may have slipped under the radar, or who are still working to make it. I’d like you to meet Sara Gettelfinger. Born in Louisville, she attended the Youth Performing Arts school for high school in Louisville. Her parents, thankfully, encouraged her to be well-rounded in both grades and athletics, so there was little to no strife in that regard. The arts, in fact, were always a huge part of her family’s culture. She always loved the theater and everything associated with it - music, performing, the crowds, the ambiance, the thrill of opening night for a new show. She started dancing at the age of 2. It was in seventh grade when she realized that she wanted to pursue this full time and dedicate her life to it. After high school she enrolled in the Conservatory of Music program at the University of Cincinnati, where she graduated a couple of months early. She told her parents she was going to New York for three weeks. In those three weeks her objective was to find an apartment, an agent and a job. Could that really be done in three weeks? Hard-headed? She’ll agree with that. Determined? Absolutely. “I lucked out and it happened,” she says.

Sara Gettelfinger

A big question we want to ask everyone who has managed to make a career out of their art is, “Was it luck or skill?”

“I’ve had a lot of luck in my career, but I’ve also worked very hard,” she says. “But I’m also the poster child for the harder you work, the luckier you get. It’s kind of a big motto of ours as a family.” Within the first year of being out of school, Gettelfinger got her Equity card doing Fosse. Within six months of that she booked her own broadway show, “Seussical,” based off of the wacky and zany world of Dr. Seuss. For the following 17 years, she was consistently able to find work performing for audiences. She took a short hiatus from the theater around 2007 and 2008 to live in Los Angeles, to be in a classical crossover vocal trio to wet her toes in the record industry. That provided a different set of adventures to work with artists that astounded her, and she found it truly invigorating to be around people who she already admired. Starstruck, stunned and incredibly fortunate is how Gettelfinger felt, and she never took that experience for granted. Enter John Lithgow from stage right into Gettelfinger’s life. Do I even have to remind you who he is? Dr. Dick Solomon from “3rd Rock from the Sun,” the hilarious Lord Farquaad from “Shrek” - you know him. Gettelfinger met Lithgow co-starring alongside him in the broadway version of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.” Turns out that he had a separate passion in terms of working with kids and being a children’s author. This jibed with her because she has always loved kids. She would work with younger kids on the coast or fly back home to give master classes on acting. As far as “John” went - she’s on a first-name basis with the

legendary star - it was a whole vocation. It took until later in her career to make the transition into working with and teaching kids, like being a lead teacher with preschool children. The crossover was not only natural and obvious, but also, well, magical. Providence. Or as Dr. Seuss might put it: fabtacular! The

change required all of Gettelfinger’s skills enthusiasm, creativity and spontaneity. “I can honestly say that when I did decide to leave New York, I really reached a point were I was struggling personally and spiritually in terms of my health, using outside unhealthy things to cope, and just feeling this very profound feeling of, if I just

keep chasing my next credit on a resume, this is like a hole in my heart and soul that’s never going to be filled,” she says. She found ways to be thankful. She’d been 6’ tall since she was fifteen, and as a result she’s still playing some of the same roles since back then.

“I’m just now becoming right for them,” she says. “It’s not like I’m a 4’11’’ ingenue who’s wondering how long I can convince people I’m 25 years old. I play a lot of villains and a lot of scandalous women who are up to no good - some of those older, wonderful character roles that are going to be more in my wheelhouse now in the years to come.”

then began connecting with people who had very small children, which led her into the preschool world. Soon after, she discovered Building Kidz, a performing arts preschool.

theory, the children were learning math and division, and counting odd and even numbers. I’m astounded by kids all the time. I often feel like kids are underestimated.”

“If I could have everything I could possibly want at a place to work, it sounded like I needed to check this out,” she says.

“What was much more terrifying for me is that while I was really very fortunate that I had never had to have another job, one of the things I remember in my years in New York is sometimes being on the subway in my cozy sweats or dance clothes going to rehearsal,” she adds. “Even though there were sacrifices and hard work, I’d never had any notion of what it was like punching a clock to make a living. My work was my oxygen. That was my biggest thing - was I ever going to have that again.”

She was astounded by the natural-light classrooms, the huge studio in the middle, and the baby version of a Shakespeare stage in the park. Having gotten certified and being a lead teacher for a while gave her the groundwork for finding her way through the state-mandated curriculum to prepare the little ones for kindergarten.

Since her time as the performing arts director at Building Kidz School, she has moved on to working with ACT Louisville Productions as the musical theater chair. She also will be assisting Holy Trinity on their upcoming production of “The Addams Family.”

As she began to transition into coming home and looking into private coaching in terms of teaching art classes full time, she

Sara Gettelfinger is fortunate in many ways, but figuring that part out, well, that’s probably her most fortunate stroke of luck, if that’s what we want to call it.

Jack Koppel

GRAVE ENDEAVORS INTRODUCING JACK KOPPEL, AKA THE CEMETERY MAN

Writer / Sam Dunn Photography Provided

Jack Koppel might have one of the most interesting nicknames, and hobbies, in Jefferson County. Koppel is sometimes known as the Cemetery Man, and he has been exploring and cataloguing hidden cemeteries for more than 20 years. Because of his efforts, the government has been able to save many small cemeteries from construction. Equally as impressive, his work has highlighted forgotten people and their stories, and proved that history is everywhere in Louisville, Kentucky. As he has said, “My main goal is to try and find every cemetery in Jefferson County.” Koppel’s interest in hidden history, specifically cemeteries, started at a young age.

“When I was a kid I was always fascinated by cemeteries,” he says. His passion for the subject grew when he lived in the historic home of Abraham Hite Jr., where he discovered an old and neglected cemetery. Koppel’s first efforts at restoration and conservation were relatively modest. He dragged brush away from the site and performed other acts of maintenance. Compared to his current efforts, these first steps were small, but they led to decades of passionate historic research and a dedication to the respectful treatment of our ancestors. “My main goal is to show respect in some way,” he says. “There’s so much history on those stones.” 26 / MARCH 2022 / TownePost.com

Koppel’s interest in historic cemeteries grew through the years, as he discovered locations all around him. One of his earliest discoveries was purely by chance, when he discovered Eastern Cemetery in the late 1990s. As he tells it, he was on a lunch break from work when he stumbled upon the cemetery and was shocked to find that the site had not been maintained for some time. Since then, Koppel and others, like the group Friends of Eastern Cemetery, have worked to improve this site and others that have been found. Koppel’s passion for historical cemeteries, and history in general, has led him to devote several decades of his life to the search for forgotten gravesites, and he doesn’t think that the search will be over anytime soon.

“Cemeteries are just everywhere,” he says. “There are a lot of other ones I haven’t found yet.” The scope of Koppel’s work has expanded greatly, as have the methods that he uses to search for and protect these sites. He spends hours each day on a computer, researching old records, manuscripts and newspapers. When he has identified a site and gotten permission to visit from the owner, he begins to clean the site and preserve the gravestones. In this respect, his processes

of preservation have also gotten more complex. He is able to identify older stones that have sunk below the surface of the ground. These are brought up, cleaned, and restored if necessary. When he is cleaning the stones, Koppel doesn’t use normal soap and water. Instead he uses a special biological solution that is specifically made for cleaning older stone and will not damage the stone or inscriptions. In fact, he uses the same solution that is used to clean the gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery. When gravestones are broken, whether by

nature or vandalism, Koppel works to clean and reassemble the stone. Using epoxy, he is able to join the stone back together and restore the original inscription. One of the main focuses of Koppel’s work is to not only to preserve the gravesite, but also make it easier for others to visit. “I probably am more passionate about it because I’ve learned more over the years,” he says. “When I first started the search for these cemeteries, there were no good

here in Jefferson County but there are probably thousands.” Koppel has been instrumental in the discovery and preservation of many of these sites, but he is quick to give credit to others who have assisted him throughout the years. He has gotten a lot of assistance from Joe Walko, a friend from Middletown. Walko is very knowledgeable about historic maps and deeds of ownership, and has been instrumental in the discovery of several historic cemeteries. Koppel also works with members of the local metro government, who log the cemeteries in a database and prevent new buildings from encroaching on them. Throughout the course of his work. Koppel has interacted with many members of the public, most of whom have responded well to his mission. In his own words, he has had “a lot of experiences and have met a lot of people. Most of the people have been terrific.” Koppel continues to research and preserve

historic cemeteries, although COVID-19 has impacted his ability to go out and physically search for sites. Because of current limitations on social gatherings, he is also unable to interact with landowners or other members of the public. However, he is undeterred. He continues to research and monitor historic cemeteries, knowing that these important sites have endured crises of this magnitude before. He is also eager to talk to members of the public who are interested in his work or may have further information about historic cemeteries in their area. He is especially interested in speaking with anyone who has knowledge about a historic cemetery in Jeffersontown, near Skyview Park. Anyone who has information on this location, or any other, may reach out to Koppel using the contact information below. “I’ll talk all day about cemeteries,” he says. Koppel can be reached via email at ajkoppel@hotmail.com.

LOVE TO WIN OR HATE TO LOSE BREAKING DOWN THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PERFORMANCE ATTITUDES Another useful dichotomy in achievement orientation involves the distinction between approach and avoidance motivation.

Writer / Dave Schroerlucke

“Above anything else, I hate to lose.” —Jackie Robinson Some people find the ruthless competitiveness expressed in this quote from Jackie Robinson to be appalling. Others find it refreshingly honest. In the world of elite sports, this hate-to-lose stance is far from an anomaly. Jimmy Connors, Michael Phelps, Derek Jeter and Larry Bird - to name just a few - are all on record expressing the very same sentiment. Of course, winning and losing are opposite sides of the same coin. They cannot occur simultaneously. In order to avoid losing, you have to win. The desire not to lose can easily be framed as a desire to win - just the other side of the coin. For many people, the win-loss coin is not balanced in terms of each side’s motivational force and emotional impact. Some compete primarily for the elation of winning, while others are driven more by the fact that they find losing to be completely intolerable. This article takes a closer look at the psychology behind the love of winning and hatred of losing, in an attempt to see if promoting one of these two attitudes is more optimal for performance.

APPROACH AND AVOIDANCE “A champion is afraid of losing. Everyone else is afraid of winning.” —Billie Jean King In a previous article on achievement orientation, I distinguished between performance-oriented individuals who think success means outperforming others, and mastery-oriented individuals who see success in terms of learning new skills.

People with an approach motivational style are primarily interested in securing rewards and desirable outcomes (going to the gym to stay fit or to look good), whereas those with an avoidance motivational style mostly want to avoid punishment and undesirable outcomes (going to the gym to avoid criticism or heart disease). The question of loving to win or hating to lose, then, can be thought of in terms of approach and avoidance motivation. Those in the love-to-win camp are approach-motivated, and the hate-to-lose folks are avoidance-motivated. Most actions can be framed in terms of both approach and avoidance goals, and we all use both types of goals throughout our lives. However, if you have to choose one as a general tendency, is one motivational style better than the other? As we will see, it depends on what you actually mean by “better.”

LOSS-AVERSION BIAS “Losing feels worse than winning feels good.” —Vin Scully Vin Scully’s less-than-scientific observation, based on six decades of experience watching baseball from the broadcasting booth, turned out to reflect a fundamental truth about the human condition. Psychologist Daniel Kahneman, author of “Thinking, Fast and Slow,” won the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2002 for his groundbreaking work on human decision making, in which he demonstrated that humans have a powerful bias toward avoiding

30 / MARCH 2022 / TownePost.com

losses over acquiring similar gains (for example, thinking it is better not to lose $5 than to gain $5).

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO DOING YOUR BEST?

In some studies, the anticipated pain of losing has been shown to be about twice as motivating as the pleasure of gaining. This collective bias toward avoiding loss is one of the reasons that incentivization programs based on punishment and penalties tend to be more effective than reward-based strategies.

“It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” —Coaches and parents everywhere

Despite being a great motivator, loss aversion is not without its downsides. For one, avoidance goals can be stressful, tending to be associated with negative emotions and hypervigilance to threat of loss. This can backfire when individuals adopt a defensive avoidance strategy, refusing to invest effort or altogether dodging tasks in which there is a chance of being evaluated poorly. People who adopt an approach motivation tend to be more exploratory and risk tolerant, and report greater subjective wellbeing compared to people with avoidance motivation. For this reason, psychologists almost universally recommend approach over avoidance goals. However, as we all know, feeling better is not the same as performing better, and as Tiger Woods put it, “Winning takes care of everything.”

Perhaps it is better to avoid the win-loss trap altogether and simply focus on performing as well as you can. This is the basic idea behind the mastery orientation to achievement, which values selfimprovement over competitive aspirations. Initially, only the performance orientation (focused on wins and losses) was subdivided according to approach and avoidance motivational styles. Eventually researchers began to consider the possibility that mastery orientation (focused on learning) could also be split along similar lines, thereby creating a two-dimensional model of achievement orientation, with four distinct possibilities displayed in the 2x2 grid below:

Approach Avoidance

Mastery Mastery-Approach “do better than before” Mastery-Avoidance “avoid doing worse than before”

Performance Performance-Approach “do better than others” Performance-Avoidance “avoid doing worsethan others”

Of the four possible combinations, mastery-approach appears to be associated with the most optimal set of psychological consequences (enhanced intrinsic motivation, reduced anxiety, positive emotions). This is the image of the internally-driven athlete striving for personal bests and peak performances. Strikingly, however, empirical data connecting mastery-approach goals with enhanced performance is lacking. Mastery-avoidance is a bit of a mixed bag in that it is associated with both positive and negative psychological outcomes. While the focus on self-improvement avoids the anxiety associated with social comparison, obsessing about not making mistakes can become a source of uncomfortable anxiety that can impair performance. The picture here is of the perfectionistic athlete striving for flawlessness or the end-of-career athlete trying to stave off performance decline. Performance-approach is also a psychological crapshoot. While the performance-based focus on winning and losing can bring ego-related anxieties and performance decrements into play, this orientation can actually be quite adaptive when there is a high degree of perceived competence and self-belief. In fact, performance-approach (aka love to win) is the only orientation to be consistently correlated with superior performance.

So what are we to make of all this? If we want to improve performance, should we love to win or hate to lose? Should we just not care about winning and losing and focus on doing our best? It depends on what your goals are and how much confidence you have in your ability. If you care primarily about feeling good, experiencing flow, and deriving enjoyment from your chosen craft, it’s probably best to avoid the question altogether and adopt a mastery-approach orientation in which your primary focus is on learning and constant improvement. However, even pursuit of mastery can be a double-edged sword that can quickly become both unenjoyable and detrimental to performance if a mastery-avoidance style blurs into perfectionism and an intolerance of mistakes. If enhancing your performance is what you are after, and you believe in your ability, the research suggests that it is best to adopt a performance-approach style, or a love-to-win attitude, in which your primary motivation is outperforming others.

Performance-avoidance appears to be the most dysfunctional of all the orientations, exposing the athlete to anxiety both from social comparison and hypersensitivity to loss. Although hating to lose is not the most psychologically pleasing attitude, it is difficult to ignore the testimony of the numerous champions who attribute their success to an inability to tolerate losing.

Finally we return to where we began - to those who, like Jackie Robinson, just can’t stand losing. Despite the fact that performanceavoidance is an unpleasant and socially isolating attitude (no one likes a poor loser), it is difficult to ignore the evidence that loss aversion is far more motivating than the thought of winning. What are we to make of all the champions who attribute their success to an inability to tolerate losing?

SUMMARY

There are never any simple answers in the mental game.

“A champion is suppose to hate to lose, and it wasn’t like I was ever crazy about the idea. But I learned to deal with losing without having my spirit or confidence broken, which would help immensely over time, not just in the big picture but even in specific matches when I found myself in a jam. Fear of losing is a terrible thing.” —Pete Sampras

So what do you say? Love to win, hate to lose, or just do your best? With you in the pursuit, Dr. Dave

STEP OFF THE SCALE FOR WELLNESS Writer / Kate Boston

The first few months of a new year is refreshing and exciting as many of us resolve to improve the quality of our lives with new year’s resolutions. Often, wellness and weight goals are at the top of the list. After all, nothing else much matters if we aren’t well enough to truly enjoy it. Many people resolve to diet to lose the extra pounds gained throughout the holiday season or perhaps pounds that have stealthily crept up over the years. Although it is true that in some cases weight loss can

improve quality and length of life, the number on the scale does not necessarily equate to health and wellness if we aren’t eating balanced meals with foods rich in nutritional value. While popular, fad diets often result in quick weight loss and then quick weight regain with little focus on long-term nutritional health. For many people, focusing on the scale rather than the plate will derail health goals time and time again. When healthy, our bodies’ physiological processes work as they should, enabling us to function efficiently. Our bodies should provide us with enough mental and physical energy to not only survive but enjoy each day. Did you know that the food and beverages we consume directly affect our mood, energy and health, giving each of us control in how we feel daily? It’s true! A diet rich in whole foods including vegetables, fruit, lean protein, beans, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains is abundant in vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytonutrients, which boost metabolism, speed fat burning, reduce inflammation, stabilize energy, elevate mood and decrease risk of diseases like obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, metabolic disease, digestive disorders, Alzheimer’s and cancer. Would you like a carrot? On the contrary, a diet rich in convenience and processed foods including refined grains like white flour, white bread, white rice, cookies, candies, cakes, chips, fried food, bacon, sausage, soda and fast food is abundant in salt, sugar and saturated fat which slow metabolism, reduce fat burning rate, clog blood vessels, fuel inflammation, decrease energy and may cause depression. As a result, processed foods greatly increase risk of obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, metabolic disease, digestive disorders, Alzheimer’s and cancer. One doesn’t need to completely avoid processed foods to be healthy, but they should be limited and only consumed in moderation. In many cases, processed foods lack natural nutrients, phytochemicals, fiber and often don’t leave us feeling satisfied for very long. Because of this, we tend to eat larger portions of these foods more frequently, which intensifies the negative effect they have on our health. Think back - when was the last time you overindulged in cookies and candy? The resulting blood sugar swings and sugar cravings probably had you going back for seconds and maybe thirds without you even realizing it. Now, think back to when was the last time you overindulged in apples and broccoli? Likely never. It’s very difficult to overeat natural food because it is packed with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and fiber which trigger our bellies and brains

BELOW IS A LIST OF SMALL CHANGES YOU CAN IMPLEMENT TO IMPROVE YOUR WELLNESS AND SUPPORT WEIGHT CONTROL. AS WE WRAP UP THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022, REVISIT YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS. HAVE YOU ACHIEVED YOUR GOALS? IF NOT, WHAT IS STOPPING YOU?

THE CHANGE

HOW TO IMPLEMENT THE CHANGE

Eat for health rather than a goal weight.

Eat natural, minimally processed food as often as possible. Research recipes for great new tastes.

Stay hydrated so as not to confuse thirst with hunger.

Aim to drink 8 cups (64 oz) of water or natural, unsweetened beverages daily. You may need more depending on body size and exercise habits.

Eat 3 or more servings of vegetables daily.

Enjoy sliced veggies with your favorite dip, eat salad, add vegetables to your eggs, pizza, pasta, sandwich, soup and smoothies.

Eat 3 servings of fruit daily.

Enjoy fresh fruit, fruit salad or add fruit to whole grain pancakes, oatmeal, cereal, Greek yogurt, toast with nut/seed butter, salads and smoothies.

Replace refined grains with whole grains.

Replace white rice, bread and pasta with quinoa, brown/black rice, oats, whole grain bread, whole grain pasta, farrow, sorghum, buckwheat, millet.

Keep vibrant fruit and vegetables visible.

Stock your counter with fresh produce and shift your fridge contents so colorful produce is at eye-level. (If out of sight, it will be out of mind.)

Move daily to boost energy, health and mood.

Walk, bike, run, yoga, housework, strength train, park further from the store and take the stairs. Movement improves strength and endurance.

Allow yourself to truly enjoy your favorite foods on occasion – guilt free.

Rather than scarfing down your treat and feeling guilty for indulging, eat it slowly, taste it, savor it and truly enjoy it – you will likely find that a small portion is quite satisfying when you don’t feel so ‘bad’ for eating it.

Cultivate your plate one meal at a time.

Fast to fix is often fast to fail. Wellness is about progress, not perfection. Celebrate your small, steady achievements – they will add up in time!

to sense satiety, slow digestion and turn off hunger cues, as real food should. As a passionate dietitian, I wish nutritional health and wellness upon everyone. With more than a decade of experience in the field, I have found that slow and steady weekly changes, with a focus on good nutrition rather than goal weight, prove to be the most successful and sustainable approach to lasting weight loss and wellness. Being thin isn’t healthy if we’re consuming adequate calories but inadequate nutrition.

result in long-lasting wellness and weight whole grains or starchy vegetables. Select foods from every food group and produce of control. Eat to live the life you crave. every color to incorporate throughout each day, as all foods offer different vitamins and minerals in varying amounts. Nourish up from the inside out. Rather than allowing the number on the scale to proclaim your health, focus on cultivating your plate, one meal at a time, with natural food. I bet you will be pleasantly surprised with how small plate changes over time
