👉 We can still be a nice person and not be a people pleaser.

😨 People pleasers are uncomfortable with being uncomfortable.

🤔 We will not make everyone happy, even those closest to us.

🗒️ How others react to us choosing to do what's best for us, is telling information as to what kind of friend they are to us (healthy vs not so healthy).

Usually people pleasers over empathize. We should have compassion instead.

🤝 Healthy boundaries are needed for healthy relationships.

❤️ What does it take to have a healthy relationship what lasts and weathers the storms?

📕 The Emergent Love Model, a research-based framework for lasting relationships developed by Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh in her book, Love by Design: 6 Ingredients to Build a Lifetime of Love.

🔎 Based on over two decades of global research, this model suggests that instead of relying on fleeting "sparks," couples should cultivate 6 specific relational ingredients to allow genuine love to emerge and thrive.

Actionable steps for couples:
1. Attraction: Focuses on what you specifically like and value about each other beyond just physical chemistry, including social and financial attributes.

2. Respect: Keeping each other's unique needs and priorities in mind, and maintaining healthy boundaries.

3. Trust: Showing up for each other consistently and being reliable in all areas, including financial and emotional loyalty.

4. Compassion: The ability to honor your partner's emotional experience without making it about yourself or feeling forced to "feel with" them (distinguishing it from simple empathy).

5. Shared Vision: A commitment to where you are going together, covering key life domains like geographical, financial, and lifestyle goals.

6. Loving Behaviors: The active, daily ways you show your partner they are special and valued.

🚨 Pitchers: here’s the truth…
Most “control problems” aren’t arm problems.

They’re mental overload problems. 🧠⚾🥎

When pressure hits, your brain starts doing too much:
❌ fix mechanics
❌ worry about the last pitch
❌ overthink location
❌ rush the next throw
❌ try not to miss

🔥 The best pitchers simplify.

📍 3 Takeaways Every Pitcher Needs:
1️⃣ One focus cue per pitch (not five)
2️⃣ Long exhale on the release for control.
3️⃣ Reset fast + next pitch or next batter

Rehease this in practice for competition, because in pitching, stability wins.

Coaches don’t just recruit talent…
They trust pitchers who can handle the moment. 💪

🎯 Want to pitch with confidence under pressure? Train your mind like you train your arm.

🧠 Changing behavior is like training a muscle.

💙 This is what we teach at PsychEdge.

💡 I came across this short (3 min) video through AASP, the Association for Applied Sport Psychology and wanted to share.

🏊‍♀️🔥 Swimmers — this is the truth.

You don’t magically “get mentally tough” at a meet.

👉 Practice performing under pressure during practice.

🌊 You build it in practice.
Rep by rep.
On purpose.

Because if you want your mental skills to work when it matters most…

⏱️ tight race
💥 back half fatigue
😰 pressure rising
🤝 last leg of a relay
🎯 one chance to hit your time

…you have to rehearse it that way first.

That’s why elite swimmers train more than strokes and speed.
They train:

🧠 focus
🌬️ breathing control
💪 emotional regulation
🎯 commitment under pressure
🔁 fast resets after mistakes

Train it in practice so it shows up automatically at meets.

Save this for your next hard set. 💙

🔥 Pitching is pressure.

🥎 And the pitchers who stand out aren’t always the ones throwing the hardest…

They’re the ones who stay steady when the game gets chaotic. 🎯⚾🥎

💡 Mentally tough pitchers do 5 things differently:

✅ They reset fast after a bad pitch
✅ They control their pace instead of rushing
✅ They focus on ONE simple target (not 10 thoughts)
✅ They use confident body language even when nervous
✅ They commit fully instead of guiding the ball

Confidence is a performance skill.

⚾ If you’re a pitcher (or a coach developing one), these are the mental tools that separate good… from GREAT.

📌 Save this for your next bullpen session.

This is where you build your PsychEdge — one skill at a time. 💙🧠

🏊‍♀️The Grind Pays Off 🏃‍♀️

Soreness and tough practices mean progress.

Instead of letting negativity slow you—or your team—shift your mindset:

• Stay neutral—don’t judge the practice, just do it. ✅

• Take it one set at a time.

🌟Remember: “This hard work is preparing me to show up confidently when it counts.” "Coach wouldn't give us the workout if they didn't think we could do it."

Parents: Praise your athlete's hard work or commitment. Encourage your athlete.
