You make an excellent point. Consider the following event ...............
As I recall, Russell Wilson took the September of 2021 loss of Trevor Moawad, his mental coach, particularly hard. Trevor had been fighting cancer for 2 years.
He was credited with assisting Wilson with all the psychological facets of what he does, both on and off the field. They even had a joint venture, called Limitless Minds, which aims to bring the competitive thinking from sports into the corporate world.
From "The Athletic" .....
"Trev was known as one of the world’s top strategic advisors and mental conditioning coaches for elite athletes, teams and organizations," Limitless Minds said in the statement. "But he was more than that. He was a bright light that impacted people all over the globe, changing the lives of many, helping people reach heights they never knew were possible."
"He was a great author, a powerful and engaging speaker, an elite thinker and a loyal friend. Trevor’s legacy will live on for generations."
A beloved mental conditioning coach who mentored college and pro athletes, he co-founded Limitless minds
in 2018 with Wilson, the eight-time Pro Bowler. Moawad's book, "It Takes What It Takes," was released last year (co-written with
The Athletic's Andy Staples).
"My heart is heavy today…I will forever miss you," Wilson wrote on Twitter on Thursday morning.
