@AmericanAir I DMed you details…

[Dr. Amber Shipherd, CMPC @DocShipherd]

Hey @AmericanAir you delay my flight 2 hours from dfw to Crp then when we finally take off we fly to corpus, circle awhile and then fly back to dfw. You can’t get us on another flight to corpus today (5/27/2026) nor will you issue hotel or food vouchers? Great customer service

[Dr. Amber Shipherd, CMPC @DocShipherd]

@AmericanAir Yeah some food vouchers would be nice as well as a refund for the rental car we’re going to have to get from McAllen to corpus

[Dr. Amber Shipherd, CMPC @DocShipherd]

@CassieGracia Tanner says make sure if you do multnomah you get there early - apparently it can get pretty packed in the summer

[Dr. Amber Shipherd, CMPC @DocShipherd]

@CassieGracia Then I would do multnomah falls and a quick trip to the coast if you have time

[Dr. Amber Shipherd, CMPC @DocShipherd]

@CassieGracia Thank you! Are you just staying in Portland or going anywhere else? If you’re staying in the general Portland area the coast isn’t too far of a drive, and just outside of Portland heading east is Multnomah Falls which is really pretty and you can hike up to the top of the falls

[Dr. Amber Shipherd, CMPC @DocShipherd]

I am so thankful to Jordyn @Javelina_WBB for inviting me out for Faculty Appreciation Night! It was an honor to be celebrated with so many other amazing @tamukHKN faculty. I loved seeing you play and the Javelinas get the win! #javCOURAGE

Starting off the new year with a publication with @bkowa20 and led by recent @tamukHKN @TAMUKHPL graduate Jamie! Check it out if you want to learn more about how a brief bout of resistance exercise compares to aerobic exercise on processing speed. https://t.co/HDSEKYwS9B

As a @TheSFNiners fan I love this even more but to all my #sportpsychology colleagues and students - this is a great example of mental performance in action and why all elite athletes should consider working with a Certified Mental Performance Consultant @AASPTweets

[Matt Moore, Ph.D., CMPC @mattjmoore11]

So many good sport psych/mental tips in this piece from @gkittle46 :

Pre-performance routines; self-talk; visualization; mindfulness; breath-work; family and relationships; prayer; imagery; and affirmations

Young athletes, take note!
