Past traumatic experiences significantly influence mental health, especially in high-pressure situations like the Olympics. The act of withdrawing from such an important event can exacerbate feelings of PTSD, particularly when combined with subsequent public scrutiny, such as testifying before Congress. Just as physical injuries require rehabilitation, mental health also needs attention and care. This includes recognizing that mindset functions as a muscle that can be strengthened, stretched, repaired, and requires rest. Emphasizing that it's sometimes necessary to quit or step back is a valid and important part of mental health management, highlighting the importance of prioritizing one's well-being.
