Training the Mind Series™ Brings Mental Health and Performance Conversations to an NBA Game-Day
Phoenix, AZ — January 12, 2026 — The Training the Mind Series™, a nationally coordinated mental health awareness and wellbeing activation, is hosting a group night at the Phoenix Suns game on Tuesday, April 7.
Curated by Brook Choulet, MD, The Performance Psychiatrist®, the group experience will include a pregame panel with leaders across sports, mental health, and performance to explore how elite athletes train the mind to manage pressure, sustain performance, and thrive both on and off the court, as well as tickets to the Suns vs. Rockets game. The pregame panel will be held from 5:00–6:00 PM at the Mortgage Matchup Center.
As part of the evening, the American Board of Sports & Performance Psychiatry will be recognized as the Nonprofit of the Game during the Suns’ matchup against the Houston Rockets.
Launched in winter 2025 with activations across the three NFL markets, the Training the Mind Series™ represents the first multi-market initiative of its kind to embed mental health and mental performance conversations into live professional sports settings—transforming arenas and stadiums into platforms for meaningful dialogue, education, and community impact.
