Season three of Mind Set Go returns April 1 to AMI-tv TORONTO, March 3, 2020 /CNW
New participants. New Paralympians. New mindset. AMI is proud to announce Season three of Mind Set Go returns Wednesday, April 1, at 8 p.m. Eastern to AMI-tv.
An Anaïd and AMI production in partnership with the Canadian Paralympic Committee, Mind Set Go’s newest eight episodes feature Integrated Described Video ensuring they are accessible to viewers who are blind or partially sighted.
The third season of Mind Set Go follows eight Canadians living with a disability, debilitating injury or chronic pain as they transform their physical, mental and emotional health over a 90-day journey of body, mind and soul.
As previously announced, lead expert Stephanie Dixon—a 19-time Paralympic medalist—and fellow Paralympians provide encouragement, insight and advice to help the participants face their biggest physical and emotional obstacles heads-on. “We’re thrilled to welcome Stephanie Dixon, her fellow Paralympians and a new group of participants to AMI-tv,” says John Melville, Vice-President of Programming and Production. “We’re honoured to tell the stories of these everyday Canadians. I know they will connect with and encourage our viewers to embrace a new mindset.”
From legal blindness, obesity and high blood pressure to neurological disease, Season three of Mind Set Go delves deep into understanding how negative sociological and psychological coping behaviours impact the participants’ health. Each one-hour episode begins with a participant’s backstory and their struggles to adopt fitness activities while also working on their spiritual well- being. Each participant is there for a reason—whether it’s a need to build strength, gain independence or overcome feelings of low self-worth, they are all uniquely positioned to make a positive change to achieve optimal health. To bookend their journey, each sets a physically demanding goal to illustrate how their lives and attitudes have progressed after three months.
The Paralympians and athletes joining Stephanie Dixon include:
• Michael Frogley
• Michelle Stilwell
• Jessica Tuomela
• Adam Purdy
• Michelle Salt
• Richard Peter
• Pamela LeJean
• Shira Stanfield
Season three of Mind Set Go premieres Wednesday, April 1, at 8 p.m. Eastern on AMI-tv. The complete first two seasons of Mind Set Go are available to stream online at AMI.ca or on the AMI-tv App.
