Training the Mind Series: A Mental Health Activation on Game Day 

Be part of a first-of-its-kind Training the Mind Series™ activation, curated by Dr. Brook Choulet, bringing powerful, expert-led conversations on athlete mental health, wellbeing, and mental performance directly into the Phoenix Suns game-day experience. Hosted inside the arena before tip-off, this dynamic pre-game panel will bring together leaders in sports, mental health, and performance to unpack how elite athletes train the mind to handle pressure, sustain peak performance, and thrive both on and off the court.

On April 7, as the Phoenix Suns take on the Houston Rockets, the American Board of Sports & Performance Psychiatry will be recognized as the nonprofit of the game. The panel will take place from 5:00–6:00 PM in an intimate, private hospitality setting at Mortgage Matchup Center, offering a unique, behind-the-scenes game-day experience you won’t find anywhere else.

What’s Included

• Access to the pre-game Training the Mind panel
• Your game ticket to the Phoenix Suns matchup
• A unique opportunity to experience an NBA game day through a new lens

What Is the Training the Mind Series™?

The Training the Mind Series is a nationally coordinated mental health awareness and wellbeing activation created to integrate conversations around mental health, mental skills, and resilience into live professional sports environments. Designed for fans, professionals, and community leaders alike, the series reframes mental health as a skillset to strengthen, not just for athletes, but for everyday life.

What Will Be Discussed?

During the pre-game panel, speakers will explore:

• The realities of athlete mental health and wellbeing
• How high performers manage stress, pressure, and expectations
• Practical mental performance strategies that translate beyond sport
• Actionable tools attendees can apply in their daily lives, careers, and relationships

This is not a clinical discussion. It’s an engaging, accessible conversation focused on performance, resilience, and human potential.

Who Should Attend?

• Fans interested in the human side of sport
• Professionals and leaders looking to strengthen mental performance
• Healthcare, business, and community professionals
• Anyone curious about how elite performers train the mind under pressure

Whether you’re a fan, a professional, or simply interested in optimizing how you show up in high-pressure moments, this experience offers meaningful insight, set against the backdrop of one of the most exciting environments in professional sports.
