Be Better or Feel Better?

In this episode, Eli Hallak talks with Dr. Vanessa Shannon, Ph.D., Sport Psychology, about creating better experiences for athletes during challenging moments. They discuss how the pandemic spotlighted the need for mental health and mental performance in sport, the global impact of the “twisties” and the “yips” in reducing stigma, and the ongoing question of whether the goal is helping athletes feel better or get better. They also highlight the essential role teams play in supporting athlete wellness and performance.
