Athlete Tip Tuesday is back again!
One of the best things you can do as an athlete is become a fan of your sport. Take time to learn about it, follow it and appreciate it at a level that is much deeper than playing. Digging deeper in to your sport will help you build your sports IQ and make you a well-rounded athlete.

This leadership feature is truly one of a kind!

Legacy, a book by James Kerr goes deep into the heart of the world's most successful sporting team, the legendary All Blacks of New Zealand.

Legacy is a unique, inspiring handbook for leaders in all fields and asks:

What are the secrets of sustained success?

How do you turn vision into action? How do you achieve world-class standards, day after day, week after week, year after year?

How do you handle pressure?

How do you train to win at the highest level?

How do you turn purpose into practice? What do you leave behind you after you're gone?

What Will Be Your Legacy?

This Mindful Monday is in honor of World Mental Health Day, which took place yesterday, October 10. It's essential for everyone, but especially young people, to take the time to check in with their mind and body about their feelings, emotions and overall wellbeing. It's okay not to be okay but, it's it's important to seek resources and support to help you get back to YOU. YOU matter and YOU belong!

He uses his platform to stand up for justice and equity for all-people, animals, and the environment. Hamilton is a great example of leading with values!
