Enjoying a late fall hike in Algonquin Park. Beautiful day with my most favourite people. Some days are just the best.

It's a good day for some me time #TakeCareOfYourself

I love a Sunday bike ride. These days with everyone moving in different directions - time together is even more valuable. We call them our million dollar days. Happy Thanksgiving!

[Kim Dawson @Mind2Achieve]

Today I did an adventure race with my son - a day of paddling, trekking, and mountain biking. He was a champ for his 1st! I hope he chooses to do more with his friends in the future. #outinthewoods #mentalhealth #stormthetrent2022

Many retired athletes struggle with 'unravelling of identity' after career ends | CBC Sports https://t.co/Hrl9x7TOxe

I feel so lucky I’ve been alive to witness Jordan, Gretzky, Bolt, Phelps, Messi/Ronaldo, Tiger, LeBron and #Serena  in their prime. What a time.

[Kim Dawson @Mind2Achieve]

Yes Calvin I do.

@craignickel @PGCbasketball I https://t.co/FXdpSuFvqg’s more productive to have each athlete determine their unique meaning of mental toughness and how it guides their behaviour. General rants like this can cause athletes to tune out or perceive that something is wrong with them if they see MT differently.

Walked by teens playing driveway bball. One of the guys says to who he’s guarding: “You moved your pivot foot”. Response from player: “I did not”. First guy: “I have it on video”. Driveway bball arguments sure have changed. 🏀🏀 #cellphones

Invasive data collection is also unethical. Athletes are never asked to consent to providing this info. They are mostly forced to comply with the demands of the sport organization.

[Paolo Menaspà @MenaspaP]

"increasingly invasive data collection risks replacing expert specialists — such as exercise physiologists, biomechanists and sports psychologists – with data analysts who lack domain expertise in the complexities of human function"

Great attitude.

[Stephanie Bruce @Steph_Rothstein]

If you didn’t have the day you wanted keep your head up, keep putting in the work or know if it’s time to rest. Some athletes are battling injuries, some in marathon mode, some on the comeback and some just struggling. Wherever you find yourself ride the wave, see what’s next.

Happy 19th Birthday Ben. Hope your day is as lucky 🍀 as it has been for us all these years!

Went walking in the woods with my favourite people. I think March came in like a lamb today. I hope that’s not a problem later. 🦁 ⁦@ArroPark⁩

Sometimes I get asked who is the athlete I would like to meet the most. @shaunwhite is the guy. His amazing skill in both skateboarding and snowboarding and his mental approach are so impressive. I love hearing his thoughts. Can’t wait to see his next chapter!
