Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin both entered the NHL with nearly impossible expectations to meet, and both have not only met them, they have consistently exceeded them and still are to this day even at ages where they should be slowing down. It is really wild.

Joy is linked to other positive emotions. Individuals that spend more time being grateful, positive, inspired, humored, and curious create an internal environment very conducive to joy. Joy is harder to find for those inclined towards negativity. #TheHumanOptimizationProject

For those of you that think Tyrese Haliburton (or any elite athlete) tore his Achilles tendon because of a “bad training program,” why didn’t he tear it the game before?! Injuries and pain are complex. Find ways to have less time bickering on the internet 😉. Charlie Weingroff
