Hmmmmmm…more breathing prior to performance 😎 Thx for the heads up Ari! #breathe

People will laugh but the yips are an actual nightmare. Watching a professional athlete go through it in a huge game in front of millions is just awful and really tough to watch.

Great stuff, great teammate, and an even better human. Not to mention he’s an absolute bulldog on the mound. @turo271

“The last thing you think is the first thing you do.” •Being intentional with our thoughts is a trainable skill. •Focus on what we WANT rather than what we don’t want. •Think back to our successful times, want the opportunity to do it again.

.@CleGuardians OF Steven Kwan's (@skwanzaa) journey is a great lesson for anyone who has struggled with self-doubt. Which is pretty much all of us. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

In two years, @Brewers Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes went from one of the game's worst pitchers to one of its best. What changed wasn't @Burnes16's arm, but his head. #mentalhealth | #ThisIsMyCrew

One of the hardest working guys I know. Congratulations @SoloJared11, keep showing everyone what you’re capable of.

We are losing student-athletes at an alarming rate & we’re looking at coaches alone to fix it. Believe me, I’d move the earth for my players- but we’re not trained specialist. So when is the NCAA going to mandate that there are sports psychologist in every athletic department?

FLAMES WIN! Tanner Shears works the final two innings for his third save in as many games as the Flames take Game 1 of the series over Wright State! #FireUpFlames

@joshfigss7 has undoubtedly made the greatest athletic improvements and strides of any player that I have ever competed with. It’s been an honor to call him a teammate and a friend. Hard work pays off.

S/O national catcher day @RobCalabrese1 @joshfigss7 @dannyriley13 hope your thumbs don’t still hurt from that ‘17 pitching staff @UIC_Baseball

Self-care is a discipline, not an indulgence. A recovered mind & body is a high-performing mind & body.

2021 marked the final season at the helm of @UIC_Baseball for legendary skipper Mike Dee after he led the Flames for 23 years. In September, his No. 8 was retired before alumni, family and friends at a gathering at Granderson Stadium. #FlamesFlashback #FireUpFlames

The body is a follower, tell it what to do, and it will follow. Be intentional with what and how you talk, internally and externally.
