The term “failure” is irrelevant at the end of the day. It comes down to how you perceive the situation. If you perceive a “failure” as “steps to success” that is mental fitness in a nutshell.

Mental Fitness personified. Stepping stones, opportunities to improve, not failures.

Okay, here goes the investigation. More!

[ESPN @espn]

The unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant involved in clearing Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa during Sunday's game against the Bills has been fired after it was found he made "several mistakes" in his evaluation, according to ESPN and multiple reports.

The culture has always been “tough it out,” but this is slowly changing. For now, all sport leagues especially youth sports should adopt a more stringent “error on the side of caution” approach. You only get one brain and there’s no replacing it. #cte #tbi #NFL #TuaTagovailoa

Investigate. Should there be more transparency with the process and evaluations from the team physician and UNCs?

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

A “team physician and unaffiliated neurologist” both gave Tua clearance to return Sunday vs. the Bills, per @TomPelissero

This without a doubt can lead to concussed athletes going undetected or passing through concussion protocol. The science just isn’t there yet when it comes to identifying and managing brain trauma and an individual athlete can simply mislead in order to get back on the field.

[SportsPsychMDs @SportsPsychMDs]

Unfortunately, there is still a lot unknown about brain trauma. It’s not like a broken bone where you can see the injury on imagining & follow healing over time. The evaluation comes down to asking the athlete a set of questions & having them do a set of tasks to determine things

Make time for your wellness or you’ll be forced to make time for your illness

"I know I'd rather they cry on my shoulder than go to his funeral next week. ... Let's get rid of this stigma and men start talking."

Paddy Pimblett on men's mental health after his @ufc win today. He found out Friday that his friend had killed himself.

[SportsPsychMDs @SportsPsychMDs]

All professional sports leagues need a mental fitness bootcamp or program. We have 19 to 25 year olds thrust into the limelight with so much expected of them.

*Reminder that the brain isn’t fully developed until 25yo.

@SInow The mind and body are all connected.

[Sports Illustrated @SInow]

Ben Simmons reportedly told the Nets that he still suffers from a “mental block” that’s caused stress and possibly triggered the back injury that kept him off the court https://t.co/NT7DX7slpf
