@BradNitzWSB Hi, Brad! You helped me with my wedding in 2021 with an incoming tropical storm - now here I am with a projected snowstorm for my baby shower! ๐
If it begins at 1pm Saturday - best to reschedule? Do we think this will melt by then? Worried about side roads! Thank you!! โ๏ธ๐ฅถ
I am of the camp that Caeleb Dresselโs tears on TV were valuable. Maybe NBC lingered too long, but I think that will be one of the lingering images of the games. But what hammered home just how powerful that moment was came two days later when Dressel, the former holder of the โCaptain Americaโ title, processed his emotions and came back and split 49.4 on the menโs 400 medley relay. It would have been sweeter if the US men had won that relay, but still โ the whole arc, all played out in front of us on TV, is going to be an incredible message for young swimmers.
First he smiled, then he cried, then he processed, then he erupted โ in a positive way. The mental health conversation in sports is not about avoiding pressure, about ducking the weight or ignoring the feelings. Itโs about embracing the moment and all of the emotion that comes with it, processing that emotion in a healthy way, and then coming back for the next one. Let the emotions happen before the emotions break you. Thatโs the message that all of our young athletes need to hear.
