“You can learn to recognize when something is constructive criticism versus just criticism, and decide what you want to actually internalize and what you can let go," Julie Kliegman, Writer and Editor.
In addition to an illustrious career as a freelance sports journalist, Julie spent four years as the Copy Chief at Sports Illustrated Magazine, and is now the author of “Mind Game: An Inside Look at the Mental Health Playbook of Elite Athletes”.
In this highly reviewed novel, Julie offers insight into how elite athletes navigate mental performance and mental illness—and what non-athletes can learn from them. She explores the recent mental health movement in sports, the history and practice of sport psychology, the stereotypes and stigmas that lead athletes to keep their troubles to themselves, and the ways in which injury and retirement can throw wrenches in their mental states.
