Welcome back THE HEAD GAME! During this week's episode, Host, Clinical Sport Psychologist Dr. Lee Picariello and Co-Host, Mental Strength Coach Jessica Ferdinand discuss "The Boiling Point". Further discussion will be based on the following:

How much exposure to a monotonous and tiresome routine are humans willing to take before they mentally tap out? (Is this the definition of insanity?)
On a psychological level: What does it truly mean to check or tap out?
Are we in a battle with the media and the governments that we live under?
Once you have tapped out, where do you go? What do you do?
What are our natural instincts and impulses towards this state of exhaustion?
What opportunities are available to us that can serve as an outlet for these concerns?
In an industry that emphasizes repetition, how do athletes break complacency and diversify their routines? Are athletes more likely to “win” during this time of quarantine?
