    Swing Hard #234 features Krystal Briggs, a Reiki master and anxiety center worker, discussing her unconventional background in sports and her approach to mental resilience. Krystal shared how her father, who wanted sons, had no interest in sports, yet she developed an appreciation for them through her own experiences and connections with athletes. The discussion explored how sports can impact mental health and energy levels, with Krystal explaining how she helps athletes and children overcome anxiety and find their "muchness" through mindfulness practices. The conversation concluded with practical advice for parents about supporting their children's sports participation while maintaining a focus on enjoyment and personal growth rather than perfection.
