ABOUT BAILEY MOODY
Bailey Moody, a native of Johns Creek, Georgia, is a women’s wheelchair basketball athlete at the University of Alabama and a Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games bronze medalist with Team USA.
Moody, a member of Team USA since 2018, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at 10 years old and faced an incredibly difficult decision. Not only did her bone cancer necessitate eight months of chemotherapy, but Moody and her parents saved her chance at an active life with a rotationplasty, a rare form of amputation.
Despite the difficult recovery and doctors telling her that her athletic career was over, Moody’s determination never wavered – she was going to play basketball again. In the winter of 2012, following a March 2012 diagnosis, Moody played recreational basketball again. After deciding she wanted to play adaptive sports rather than traditional standing sports, Moody joined a travel wheelchair basketball team in the fall of 2014. In November 2017, she went to a national team development camp at the US Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, where she was invited back to tryouts in January.
In 2018, Moody made the national team at her first selection camp and has been on the team since. Outside of the bronze medal, her accolades include two national championships with Alabama in her freshman and sophomore years (2021, 2022) and a gold medal at the U25 Women's Wheelchair Basketball World Championships (2019). She has also won silver medals at the Parapan American Games (2019) and the Americas Cup (2022).

Dr. Wayne Chappelle discusses the importance of mental health in sports, comparing elite athletes to special operations personnel, and the need for psychological support.
Highlights
🏀 Mental health is crucial for athletes’ performance and success.
🧠 The mind’s strength is as important as physical abilities in sports.
🎓 Dr. Chappelle has extensive experience with elite athletes and military personnel.
🔍 Assessments help identify strengths and vulnerabilities in athletes’ mental health.
📈 Athletes must work on mental health daily, not just during sessions.
🔄 Coaches and organizations must prioritize mental health resources for optimal performance.
🌍 Athletes should view mental health as a path to thrive, not just a response to problems.
Key Insights
🏆 Mental Health’s Role in Performance
The mind influences an athlete’s ability to perform under pressure, making mental health pivotal for success. Recognizing this can shift attitudes toward psychological support.
💪 Comparative Analysis in Assessments
Using assessments to compare athletes’ mental traits against high performers helps identify areas for improvement, offering a roadmap for personal growth.
🎯 Self-Discipline and Purpose
Elite athletes exhibit self-discipline and a deep sense of purpose, which are essential for enduring challenges and excelling in their sport.
🔗 Integration of Mental Health in Training
Effective mental health support must be integrated into athletic training, requiring buy-in from leadership and a comprehensive approach to athlete development.
🛡️ Stigma Around Mental Health
Many athletes might avoid seeking help due to stigma; education about mental health as a tool for thriving can alter this perception.
📆 Ongoing Mental Health Maintenance
Mental health should be treated as a continuous pursuit rather than a one-time solution; athletes must actively engage in practices that support their mental well-being.
⚖️ Importance of Qualified Professionals
Not all mental coaches possess the necessary qualifications; hiring licensed professionals with expertise in sports psychology is crucial for effective athlete support.
Dr. Wayne Chappelle, a former military psychologist for special ops, and the innovative brain behind PsyOPTIMAL SPORTS, has shifted the mental training paradigm in sports. His journey began in the rigorous environment of military special operations, where psychological resilience is as essential as physical endurance. Over two decades, he honed his skills in the art of mental fortitude, a trait he later applied to the professional sports, transforming the mental agility of athletes as the team psychologist for an NBA franchise. He also works with numerous NCAA Division I teams and has worked with the Team USA in track & field. His ability to translate the strategic psychological operations of the military into actionable insights for athletes has revolutionized the way sports teams now approach mental training.
