The Humor Effect: Level Up with Laughter

Hey TAH Team,

How’s the new year going? I’d love to hear all about it!

Week Theme:

The Humor Effect

Weekly Info:

What’s one moment you remember above all else?

I bet it was tied to a strong emotion, whether you were super mad, sad, happy, or laughing.

Humor has a unique way of helping us remember and enjoy experiences. So this week, we’re going to use it to level up our mental game!

We dove deep into this concept in this week’s Deep Dive: Why LAUGHING Works in SPORTS!

We also had a fantastic conversation with Richie Contartesi, who shared his process for helping high school football players earn scholarships. I was mesmerized by the structure he’s created! Of course, we had some laughs along the way, check it out!

Exclusive Trick: Half and Whole Humor

What’s funnier, a perfectly crafted, hilarious joke or a half-hearted attempt that flops and ends up cracking everyone up?

There’s no right or wrong answer here. Both moments can be equally funny and effective…

Exclusive Action Tools:

1. Try cracking a joke: Whether it’s during practice, in the locker room, or even mid-game, inject a little humor to lighten the mood.

2. Bomb or succeed, it works either way: Whether the joke lands or not, humor can bond the team and make moments more memorable.

3. Reflect on what works: At the end of the week, review how humor helped during a practice, game, or meeting. What stuck? What didn’t? Use those insights to keep improving.

Closing:

Laughter and humor turn tired times into timeless memories, help create stronger bonds, and ultimately boost our performance.

Find ways to add a little humor to your new year, it’s a game-changer!

Laugh on,

Gabe
