Yes.

And so you look at particular sports where you have to be able to calm yourself down.

Down.

There's certain sports where it is banned, like golf, archery, shooting.

It's you cannot take it.

And I actually some of the things a lot of folks don't know is that it's also banned in a lot of countries.

So certain medications are stimulants are.

So, again, you also recognize that a lot of athletes maybe have ADHD and maybe on Adderall.

can't take it at the Olympics.

And so I think you have to understand the behavioral strategies.

How are you going to focus?

When we've gone into some of the last few Olympics, so Tokyo and Beijing, you cannot take those medications.

And so it's interesting to think, how would you just use behavioral strategies when you're used to medication or potentially need medication?

I think it's really important to know that you can't take it.

Yeah, I think it's really important.

I think it's important to know that some athletes do a lot, can't.

And I think there's that balance of then how do you perform at your best without medication or how do you perform at your best with particular circumstances?

I mean, it's definitely something we've had to manage over some of the last few games.

Oh, gosh, that's such a good question.

I mean, that's going back to what I was mentioning about the why.
