The Rational Practitioner

Piece on #acmilan's 'Mind Room', the psychology lab at the heart of the Rossoneri's glory years

Thanks to @ProfMarcJones for contributing to a story which I hope does justice to the inimitable Bruno Demichelis

Encouraging rationality in athletes by promoting:

-flexibility (no 'musts')
-a sense of perspective (avoid 'terrible' and 'awful')
-tolerance (differentiate 'cannot' and 'will not' tolerate)
-unconditional acceptance (worth has little to do with performance)
