Life is full of challenges. We don’t always have control over the discomfort, but how we respond turns the volume knob of suffering ⬆️ or ⬇️, and creates opportunity to thrive. An oldie but goodie from @sweatscience summarizing our work in this space👇
Suffering better through mindfulness, acceptance & realistic problem solving. Thanks to @sweatscience/@outsidemagazine for sharing our work and @brycerows & @racingtheplanet runners for teaching us important lessons! outsideonline.com/2424680/de…
And that’s a wrap on @UW_Football’s 2025 season. Lots of growth this year: from 6-7 in 2024 to 9-4 in 2025; brought home the Apple Cup; finally got the B1G road win; ended the season with the LA Bowl belt.
Grateful for the chance to contribute across the full sport psychology continuum - performance, mental health, and injury support - alongside an outstanding group of players, coaches, and staff. Already hard at work on what’s possible for 2026.
A huge thank you to @ChrisHughen for having me as a guest on his @E3Rehab podcast! 👇
In our latest podcast episode, @ChrisHughen sat down with @KevinAlschuler to discuss uncertainty, coping, and resilience from the perspective of a rehab psychologist.
We dive into how patients and clinicians can navigate the challenges of uncertainty, adaptive vs maladaptive coping strategies, normalizing mental health support, and much more.

From @uswomensopen to @LumenField to @GreatestSetting to @TonyTheTigerSB & everywhere in between - fields, courts, pools, courses, board/locker/conference/clinic rooms, hallways, & Zoom screens - 2024 has been a great year working in sport/performance psychology. Bring on 2025!

Awesome win for Madison Young on the @EpsonTour went to a small college, turned pro in 2020 without much money. Said she played local stuff only to save money and saved for Q-school. Earned her way onto Epson, and in her third year out there gets her first win.
Love to see it
Couldn't be more excited for Madison. Grateful to be part of her team! 📈
𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐓 🏆 Madison Young outlasts a crowded leaderboard in Arizona to capture the #CDSClassic!
Great morning covering psychology of injury, rehabilitation and return to sport with our @UWRehabMed MDs and residents!
So grateful to have the opportunity to meet with @NAlbertsPhD's students at @Concordia who were eager to engage in discussion around ethical dilemmas!
Lucky to have @KevinAlschuler once again provide an awesome guest lecture on ethics in sports psychology, to our ethics and professional issues in clinical psychology grad class.
So many interesting & relevant applications to areas across our field.
Thank you, Kevin!
Among the most exciting and meaningful moments of my sport psychology career - so exciting to see @SeawolvesRugby thrive in this championship moment 🏆

This is why marathoning and other endurance events fascinate me so much. The athletic ability is one thing. But the mental ability to disassociate pain/fear/discomfort from performance is something we can all learn more about. (Cc: @KevinAlschuler)

On that note, we have multiple athletes on this hunt for @Paris2024 & I couldn’t be more excited to support them as they pursue this dream. High pressure for sure, but ultimately it’s an opportunity to go put it all together & see where you stack up. A challenge to take head on!

#MarathonTrials24 was a fantastic reminder that we all should watch the Olympic trials. The thrill of victory and agony of defeat. A celebration of four years of training for one moment. I’ve said this for years: The biggest Olympian feat may be simply making it to the @Olympics!

Such an incredible feat by @NickDunlap62 - and a sport psych shout out for @DrBhrettMcCabe. Love it!
"I'm so happy to be standing here."

Saw parts of @ClimateArena I’d never seen before. Great experience being so close to the action! #SeaKraken
How good would this world be if this was everyone's perspective? Well done @Showtyme_33 🥹 #GoPackGo
