The Power of Focus and How it Affects Our Performance. I have been fortunate to work with a lot of coaches around the country, but one of the most interesting is Coach Wilson, a colleague who coaches biathlon in Alaska and works with the US Biathlon Team. What is biathlon you ask? It is the sport of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting.

Let’s take a look at some words of kindness we can use to bring more kindness to the people closest to us. We may think that saying something nice and saying something kind are the same thing, but kindness is a bit more multifaceted. Let’s use an example. Maybe you’re at a family party that your cousin hosted. She made a huge feast for everyone at the party, but you can tell that she’s exhausted and seems like she might need support. Let’s say your sister is the nice one, but you’re the kind one. What do you think each of you would say to your cousin? Your nice sister might say, “thanks for the food!” But, maybe you say, “it must have taken you…
