When harmful behaviors become “normal”,
they stop being questioned.
Yelling. Humiliation. Fear-based coaching.
These are not traditions. They are risks.
💬 What have you normalized that shouldn’t be?

On World Su***de Prevention Day, sport cannot stand outside the conversation.

Athletes are trained to keep going: through discomfort, pressure, disappointment and fatigue. But being able to perform does not tell us everything about how someone is doing.

Sometimes the athlete who needs support is still training, still competing and still showing up.

So perhaps prevention begins before the crisis becomes visible: knowing our athletes beyond their performance, noticing when something changes, asking the difficult question and knowing where to connect them for help.

In Lebanon, if you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal thoughts, call 1564, the National Lifeline for Emotional Support and Su***de Prevention. It is available 24/7.

Before the athlete, there is a person.

Injury is hard enough.
But often, it’s the quiet that hurts more, the feeling of being forgotten, left behind. You are not less valuable just because you’re on pause.
🦴 Physical healing takes time.
🧠 Emotional healing needs space too.
📌 Send this for a teammate in recovery.
💬 What helped you through injury the most?

Comparison without context creates unnecessary pressure.
You are not training under the same conditions.
And your path cannot be measured the same way.
🧠 Your journey includes resilience others may never need to develop.
💬 Have you ever compared your path unfairly?

Physical races have a finish line. Mental races can keep going endlessly if we don’t pause to recover. Train both, and honor your limits.
💬 How do you train your mental game as much as your physical one?

Pressure makes athletes tighten control.
More thinking.
More correcting.
More monitoring.
It backfires.
🧠 The brain performs better with less noise, not more control.
Pick 1 focus. Let the rest go.
💬 What are you trying to control too much?
📌 Save this.

It's taken me a few weeks to find the words for this. Behind every paper that shaped my thinking was a person and at FEPSAC 2026, I had the privilege of meeting many of them.
One particularly meaningful moment was meeting Professor Paul Wylleman, whose pioneering work on athletes’ career development and transitions has deeply influenced the field and my own research.

I also connected with researchers whose ideas guided me, colleagues who challenged my perspective, and professionals from around the world united by a commitment to understanding athletes more deeply and making sport more human.
These photographs represent more than congress memories. They hold meaningful conversations, offer encouragement, highlight new possibilities, and serve as a reminder that research from Lebanon belongs in the international sport psychology community.
Grateful for every person who made Timișoara unforgettable. 🇱🇧🌍
