Mindfulness is one way and it is so accessible to all.
Training the mind - like we train the body - is the future of mental wellness. Sets, reps, recover 🧠💪

“highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychological safety, the belief that you won’t be punished when you make a mistake. Studies show that psychological safety allows for moderate risk-taking, speaking your mind, creativity, & sticking your neck out without fear”
1. Be a collaborator, not an opponent. 2. Speak human to human. 3. Anticipate reactions and plan countermoves. 4. Replace blame with curiosity. 5. Ask for feedback on how you communicate. 6. Measure psychological safety. https://t.co/2g67YQc9cF

And now the coach's trophy. Congrats Bianca and Sylvain for an inspired performance.
After her #USOpen press conference, @Bandreescu_ presented Sylvain Bruneau with the coach’s trophy. He holds it up backwards. “Sorry, I’m not used to this.” “Get used to it,” she grins. This kid.
