Many elite athletes face challenges transitioning from the sports arena to everyday life. The Undertaker's recent revelation sheds light on the anxiety experienced by athletes at live events. It's not uncommon for retired athletes to struggle with the shift, missing their routine, comradery, and the thrill of competition. The journey from a sports-centric lifestyle to a more conventional one is often unspoken but arduous. Many athletes, including my former teammates and competitors, grapple with anxiety when returning to familiar grounds like ice rinks after years away. It's essential to acknowledge these struggles, and the Undertaker's candidness serves as a reminder that even icons face these challenges. Let's continue this conversation on supporting athletes in their post-sports endeavors. #sports #entertainment #liveevents Read more: [Link to the Undertaker's story]

There's something about Mickey Rourke and 'The Wrestler.' You just can't divert your gaze from his shattered heart. It's the primary muscle, preceding the splinted elbow, the twisted arms, the crushed knee, and the battered rib cage. It's the muscle pumping a tale that traverses life's misery like a train off its schedule, racing toward a war zone. When it finally reaches that destination, the story bursts into micro-narratives, yet remaining incredibly close to your eyes, just inches away, pleading to be understood. 'The Wrestler' marked Aronofsky's fourth film. Darren could have continued down his established path, the one he charted with the impactful 'Requiem for a Dream.' Instead, he diverged, plunging into a character who is a beaten piece of meat. Initially, in the early days of production, he toyed with the idea of situating the story within the high-profile sports realm of WWE. However, obtaining permission, navigating rights, filming during real fights—such tasks seemed almost insurmountable. Yet, what began as a hindrance became the best launchpad beneath their feet. When the narrative shifted away from the mainstream, focusing instead on ordinary men, shrinking in scale, it gained an edge of glory. It became a tale about those forgotten fighters living on the fringe, putting on a show for a meager couple of hundred dollars, performing for a handful of eyes and willing to engage with barbed wire or endure a staple gun piercing through their skin. The story accumulated so much emotional weight that no corporate trimming, major studio involvement, or compromises of any sort could have lightened its load. The next time you confront an obstacle, give it a good look. Maybe it appears as a barrier. Yet, if you're willing to alter your perspective and view it from a different angle, it could transform into a springboard. It's not an optical illusion; it's life signaling that there's a way. When you start with the right idea at the right starting block, there's always a way. #writinglife #careerpath #creativity

I've never seen a marketing strategy like this before! 🔥 If you think this is just a normal WWE moment, you're making a mistake! There's a master plan behind it! ✌️ This video is going viral, in which 'ishowspeed' or Speed was hit by Randy Orton's RKO. But have you noticed the costume he was wearing? Yes, it's the brand PRIME, co-founded by Logan Paul, who was fighting against Randy and Kevin at WWE WrestleMania 40. And guess what? He won the match with Speed's help. 😅In January 2022, Paul and KSI founded this drink brand. As the two creators had over 40 million subscribers combined, they earned a massive response from the audience. In 2023, they made over $1.2 billion in annual sales! 🚀 I can't deny that both co-founders have been very active in engaging with their audience in Q&A sessions, live events, and all possible mediums, which has led them to build a genuine connection with the customers. And now that Mr. Speed is here collaborating with PRIME, I'm sure the brand will see a huge uplift in revenue and customer response! P.S: How do you like this marketing technique?

I’m going into a season of consistency. ➜ Here's why you need to do the same. If you find yourself demotivated because your effort isn’t paying off, remember: ➜ The Rock, Aka Dwayne Johnson, started his career with WWE in 1996 ➜ Mr. Beast, Aka Jimmy Donaldson, started his YouTube channel in 2012 ➜ Kylie Jenner, appeared on national television for the first time in 2007. Why am I telling you this? Because these three individuals, with net worths between $200M to $1B, all had to put in the reps for over 10 years to be who they are today. They stayed consistent in: ➜ Building and leveraging their personal brand. ➜ Using the resources they had available to them at the time. ➜ Powering through when nobody else believed in them. ➜ Giving up never. Often we believe something is impossible because it is so far out of reach in a perspective of time that it is perceived as unattainable. The only things that are unattainable are those that we refuse to put in the required effort to attain. So that’s why I’m sticking to my 2024 goal of staying consistent by putting in the reps, day in and day out, to be the me I need to be 10 years from now. 10 years doesn’t seem so scary and so far away when you know that everyday compounds on the day before. I encourage you to enter this season of consistency with me. I believe in you. We’re all in this together. P.S. - What does #consistency look like for you in 2024? ↓ Comment Below ↓ Please repost ♻ if you feel others need to hear this!

Folks, I can't think of a better list than this one from the legendary Kobe Bryant. But I'm all ears if you have something to add. Athlete's pursuit of greatness translates beautifully into the workplace. Our four sons wrestle. Senior year, I put together a collage for them of their decade-long journey and sprinkled it with inspirational quotes. Here are a few of my favorites: Q: How long will it take for the average person to become a wrestler? A: The average person will never become a wrestler. Wrestle like you are 1st. Train like you are 2nd. Look in the mirror. That's your competition. You earn your trophies at practice, you just pick them up at competitions. Talentsphere: Tackle the day like you already crushed it. #winningmindset #storytelling #storytellingmagic #mindfullness #mindfulness #lifelonglearner #learnfromaprotobeapro #begreat #begreater #inspirationalquote #getbetter #provethemwrong #rules #bestinclass #legend #legendary #ambition #teamwork #practice #practicegrowth #teamworkmatters #teamalignment #believeyoucan #teamculture #teamcollaboration

Imagery For High Performance One of the best imagery sessions I have ever been a part of was working with my old high school football team. On the day of pregame, we all met in the school's climate controlled wrestling room. During this time the team would lead the discussion on the game plan for the following day, discuss assignments, and any doubts or worries they were having. At the end of it, everyone would lay down around the room and the lights would go off. I would then lead the team through a progressive relaxation script and they would have an opportunity to do body scans. (Scan their body to make sure everything felt healthy) Then, the quarterback would call out a play, and mentally everyone would visualize executing that play perfectly. We would run through 5 series (20 plays) then switch and do the same with the defense. When each of those players walked out, everyone was locked in and ready to go and do their jobs. Imagery is a key mental skill that allows a high performer to practice even when they are not physically able to practice. Imagery enhances energy efficiency, memory, focus and bodily readiness. Would you use these skills outside of sports in your job performance? How? #imagery #visualization #mentalskills #performance #sportpsychology #success #sports #coaching #jobperformance
