Should you treat a championship game like any other game?
Yes... and no.
Keep the same routines.
Keep the same habits.
Keep what’s been working.
But also recognise: this moment might feel different.
Don’t fight that feeling — prepare for how you’ll respond to it.

College basketball is in full swing… and this team of talented, hardworking and incredibly likeable ballers just beat the current WCC conference leader. Not because they played perfectly but because they handled the imperfections, the ups and downs, the runs, the misses, the refs decision making, and stayed on their business. Coaches coached, players played hard. Great work! They play again at home tomorrow at 2pm tomorrow - come watch them, I promise it’ll be fun!!

Sport has been propping me up lately.

Through the worry of my dog being sick all of fall, the heartbreak of losing her, and the quiet ache that followed… my sport has been there. Keeping me focused. Giving me structure. Reminding me who I am outside of fear and grief and guilt.

At 45, a sport I’ve dabbled in for 15+ years — triathlon — has been helping to hold my hand through the loss of my best friend and constant companion.

It’s made me think even more about the work I do: helping athletes not just perform, but enjoy, thrive, and stay in a healthy relationship with their sport.

Because when sport turns toxic — from burnout, pressure, culture, or a terrible experience — you don’t just lose performance. You can lose a relationship that could’ve saved you later in life when you needed it most.

So protect that bond.
From toxicity.
From others’ bu****it myths.
And from your own “I have to suffer to succeed” stories.

Let sport be your anchor. Your rescue. Your ride-or-die.

Not something you survive, but something you return to when life kicks your ass.

I’m grateful mine was still there when I needed her most 💜

Mindfulness can become second nature.

Mindfulness can become second nature.

That’s right, no judgement! No “I should be…”, no “but it’d be better if…”, no “so and so wouldn’t…”.
