Week 2 of 4, congrats to this weeks winner of clutch play of the week at @simmscompletecamps

In collaboration with @simmscomplete we want to bring you a new series. Clutch Plays Of The Week.

Every week, coaches at @simmscompletecamps will select one play that they deem to be the “clutch play of the week”. This is a play that exemplifies an athlete executing their task with precision, under pressure.

The purpose of this series is to break down the film and dissect the mental game, and bring to light the hidden mental skills that are at play when we see clutch plays.

From the classroom, to the field, athletes at Simms are working on perfecting their skills.
With the pressures of the coaches and teammates watching you, and the need to make the most of the camp, the athletes that are locked in mentally will be the ones that thrive. It is the mind that sets the standard.

These mental skills that help you be “clutch” are due to chance. Much like physical skills, these are trainable. Through individualized plans, our sports mental health and performance program helps athletes master the mental game and win the battle between the ears.

We are so excited to see these athletes compete, push their boundaries and improve everyday. We are even more excited to have the opportunity to host workshops for them these coming weeks, to help them train the mental game.

If you want your athlete to train their mind, just like the train their bodies, this is the time! Just call (201) 409 0393, get in touch with our intake team and get a consultation to develop your personalized mental performance plan. 💪 ...

To the perfectionist in all of us.
Our therapists have a message for you.
If you let fear of imperfection keep you from taking a chance on a dream, on a routine, on a tough conversation, you will end up staying in the same place.

Learn about where that perfectionist, inner critic, comes from. So that when push comes to shove, you are directed at your values and not your anxieties. ...

The “baby blues” typically fade within 2 weeks. But if you’re still struggling, what you’re feeling may be postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety, and it deserves real support. 💙
Signs it might be more than the baby blues:
😶 Feeling emotionally numb
👶 Difficulty bonding with your baby
😤 Intense irritability or mom rage
😴 Sleep & appetite disruptions (beyond newborn exhaustion)
😔 Excessive guilt or shame
😰 Severe anxiety or panic attacks
🖤 Feeling hopeless or empty
If these symptoms have lasted more than 2 weeks, it’s time for a screening, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
At Lukin Center for Psychotherapy, our perinatal mental health specialists Carrie Fogel, LCSW, PMH-C and Lauren Bomberg, LPC, PMH-C are trained to treat postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and they truly understand the journey of motherhood.
