Humbled explores the complex identity of an athlete. Whether you’re an athlete now, were in the past, or don’t see yourself that way at all, these stories will speak to you on just a human level. We have conversations with people who have accomplished larger-than-life sports feats, and whose childhood dreams of glory actually came true. In our wide-ranging conversations, we dive even deeper into the often hidden, but lasting impacts that the athlete identity can have, and the surprising ways it lives on.
We are getting conflicting messages regarding productivity in this time of chaos. Some are telling us to learn new skills, master sourdough making, and take online courses. Others are encouraging us to take it easy, watch a movie, do less. For athletes, who were mentally prepared to be working hard and staying focused before competitive seasons and training plans were derailed, the path forward is uncertain. Dr. Justin Tausig, a former pro fencer turned sports and performance psychologist, is encouraging athletes to stay productive during this crisis. Focus on what you can do, rather than what you can’t, and do at least one productive thing a day.

Dr. Julie Amato - Sports Psychology During (and apart from) a Crisis
Prematurely ended sports seasons, cancelled races, and a year-long Olympic delay are rocking athletes’ lives. When athlete identity can play such a strong role in how we see ourselves, suddenly losing the ability to play your sport can feel like a major loss. Dr. Julie Amato is a sports psychologist who works with college athletes, professional athletes, and former athletes, and she is here to help. As a former elite athlete herself, she understands the importance of sport in athletes’ lives, and the complex role it plays in our health. Dr. Julie has solid wisdom for athletes weathering any storm, and wants us to start talking, and have some more compassion for ourselves in hard times.
