From @TheAthletic: Kobe Bryant took at least 15 minutes every day to meditate. "It sets me up for the rest of the day," he once said on "Oprah."

Our writer gave it a shot. "It may sound dramatic, but the difference was immediate."

I talked to Breezy Johnson after she won the gold medal in the women’s downhill race, which was also Team USA’s first gold of the Games!

Maybe she will convince you (like she convinced me) to learn how to knit ⬇️🧶

From @TheAthletic: American skier Breezy Johnson will compete on Thursday for another gold medal in the women’s Super-G Alpine event, which means the night before she’ll do what she always does before a race: knit. https://t.co/1wSksxrqD3

From @TheAthletic: “These are some of the baddest dudes on the planet,” Jay Glazer said about a star-studded support system he created with Michael Phelps. And yet they have cried and vented and let each other in during their hardest and darkest moments. https://t.co/2drMHuU4LG

A great read from our @eliseedevlin on a network of pro athletes and coaches who've found brotherhood through opening up to one another about their mental health struggles, and being there for each other. In @TheAthletic:
