This chapter explores the inspiring journeys of athletes and coaches as they prepare for the Olympics, emphasizing the role of happiness science in enhancing their training. It also highlights the significance of vulnerability in seeking support for improvement, while teasing future discussions on societal divides and summer celebrations.
America's top athletes need coaches. And those coaches themselves need guidance. It's a hard and stressful job - and one where coaches can easily become burned out and unhappy. And stressed coaches can't help their athletes win medals.
