Some professional athletes are intentional about their "first win of the day." In his book, The Power of Habits, Charles Duhigg uses the term “small wins” to refer to minor shifts that can kickstart a chain reaction of bigger changes. Many athletes start their day with these "small wins" for that reason. For example, Bobby Witt Jr. calls a success hotline right after he wakes up in the morning. Bronson Arroyo does 100 pushups in 5 1/2 minutes.

In an age of automated balls and strikes, analytics, and teams experimenting with calling pitches from the dugout, one could argue that the relationship between pitcher and catcher has become less paramount. But Bronson Arroyo and David Ross, two world-series champions who formed a close-knit battery for the Cincinnati Reds, don’t see it that way. As part of the series “Asking Under Pressure” presented by PGIM, The Athletic Peak is looking into how duos performed together in highly competitive situations and handled the pressure.
The 2004 Boston Red Sox were trying to end an 86-year World Series drought. In the final inning against the St. Louis Cardinals, that responsibility rested with Keith Foulke, Boston’s first-year closer, and Jason Varitek, the team’s no-nonsense leader behind the plate. As part of the series “Asking Under Pressure” presented by PGIM, The Athletic Peak is looking into how duos performed together in highly competitive situations and the dialogue that inspired their decision-making.
Andrew Luck and Bruce Arians weren’t expected to win together. But they did. Their one season together was challenging. How did they work together under such difficult circumstances? How did their collaboration become a football model for crisis management under pressure? We sat down to talk to them about it.

This was one of the most logistically challenging assignments that I’ve covered for The Athletic, and with that such a tragic story - on the ground reporting in a remote part of Guinea after one of the worst football stadium disasters on record. Therefore for it to be selected by judges as one of three finalists at the International Sports Press Awards (AIPS Media) for best in Audio is hugely appreciated. We will find out the final placing at the awards in Switzerland on Friday evening, but grateful just to have got to this point. Worked closely in partnership with producer Abi Paterson on this project, who - working to a tight deadline whilst I was sending material back from the field - crafted it so well. This was a genuine team effort and included calling on the help and time of so many people behind the scenes, in particular re translation and voicing of different contributors. On the ground I couldn’t have done it without (pictured) Mamady Camara (L) and Pierre Diawara (R) whose local knowledge was vital. Thank you. But above all I’m so grateful to those who told their stories of the disaster and the pain and suffering that followed, and I’m sorry - still to this day - that the search for justice goes on.
