“As we look around online, read books and listen to podcasts, it can be overwhelming to know where to start to apply the information in our lives and take action on it. My intent with writing this article is to provide an evidence-based, actionable framework for how to effectively go about the process of goal setting. With that said, we’ll look at where we can fall short on goals and then dive into two evidence-based powerful goal-setting strategies—SMART Goals and Self-Determination Theory (SDT)—and discuss how you can practically apply these methods to take action to move yourself forward in the direction you want to go.” - O2X Mental Performance Specialist w/ Berkeley Public Safety Tim Bayley Full article: https://lnkd.in/dj7uyKSD Berkeley Fire Department // Berkeley Police Department // International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) // International Association of Chiefs of Police // National Police Chiefs' Council // International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) #firefighter #thinredline #firstresponder #lawenforcement #humanperformance

Over the course of 2024, O2X & MSA - The Safety Company ran a “workshop giveaway” which allowed fire departments from around the country to apply for free training & education. 275+ departments applied and, after a selection process led by a panel of leaders within the fire service, Savannah Fire Department (GA) was selected to receive the workshop.

?? 18 Miles. 25lbs. 4 Hours. ZERO Injuries. ?? Some might just survive the #NorwegianFootMarch —but this team dominated it. The O2X Human Performance team joined The Navy’s HSCW-L at Naval Base Norfolk for the 18-mile ruck challenge, and the results speak for themselves: ?? All finished at or under the 4-hour mark ?? ZERO injuries ? Conditioned. Prepared. #MissionReady. This wasn’t just about pushing through—it was about smart, intentional training. The conditioning, prehab, and injury prevention work these warfighters do daily with their #O2X coaches paid off when it mattered most. It makes you think: How many times do we focus on grinding through something tough—when better preparation could make all the difference? #Resilience isn’t luck. It’s built. Let’s talk about what’s working for your team.

As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting its athletes, coaches and families, U.S. Figure Skating has partnered with O2X to provide comprehensive resilience and mental performance training across all levels of the sport. Following the tragic plane crash of American Airlines Flight 5342 that claimed the lives of 28 members of the U.S. Figure Skating community on January 29, 2025, the organization prioritized providing tools and resources to its members in support of their mental and emotional well-being. Through this partnership, U.S. Figure Skating and O2X will broaden access to science-backed strategies to help more skaters, coaches and parents process emotions, manage stress and sustain peak performance in high-pressure environments. This collaboration builds on U.S. Figure Skating’s long-standing dedication to athlete mental health and comes at a time when the figure skating community is focused on healing, growth and the pursuit of excellence – both on and off the ice.

I don’t know much about figure skating. Unfortunately, after two decades in Naval Aviation I know a lot about plane crashes. I know what it’s like to answer that phone call. To check the water temperature and hold out hope for survivors. To give friends the news. To sit in the back row of the memorial and ask “why” and “how” and “now what”. To try and build up enough courage to pay respects to their family. On Sunday, Adam La Reau and I joined our partners at U.S. Figure Skating for a heart wrenching and moving afternoon in Washington, D.C. at Legacy on Ice. Thanks to the generosity of Monumental Sports & Entertainment & NBCUniversal the skating community honored the 28 teammates who lost their lives in the tragic events of January 29th. Produced on short notice and under incredible stress It was a wonderful event in front of 15,000 family, friends, and fans and raised over $1.2M. There is no “right way” to rebuild a team after a tragedy. But Sunday, just like the strongest SEAL and aviation units did over two decades of war, the skating community took some slow and deliberate steps in the right direction during an incredibly hard day. ? My lasting memory from the event will be the performance of Max Naumov. (pictured) Just 30 days after losing both his parents Max got back in the air and?honored their memory. Under the circumstances, it was the most impressive athletic feat I’ve ever seen. The O2X Human Performance/US Figure Skating collaboration pre-dated the tragedy. To be honest, what I thought would be light-hearted leadership training, staff and coach mentoring, and some athlete development has pivoted towards more introspective discussions about gratitude, culture, and resilience. I’m honored to be a part of their widening team and all of us at O2X are grateful for the opportunity to help. I still don’t know much about figure skating. But I know a lot more about strength and resilience than I did last week. And man, I can’t wait to cheer my heart out for this team. #MilanoCortina2026
