Adam was an elite track athlete and now coaches youth sports. He offers tangible ideas about:

• Importance of passion, connection, and patience with yourself and your coaches as you develop.

• The ebbs and flows of athletics and the critical need for mental health integration. Ensuring the foundation of your involvement is based on your love of the sport and how you feel when you are surrounded by coaches and teammates.

• Adam used tools such as visualization, and what he thinks could have changed had there been access to a sports psych or mental healthcare when he competed.

• The complexity of societal expectations and pressure and transitioning out of sport.

* How to resist the current in youth sports and ensure you are supporting your kid to the core - not just the outcome they are capable of producing.
