Isiah Thomas, New York Knicks

"At the highest level of competition, it is easy to lose yourself in the enormity of the event. Pressure, distraction and nerves can paralyze a person. Dr. Kimberley Amirault has been my constant source of guidance and has influenced me greatly in overcoming these obstacles. She has reminded me to 'bring myself to the line' at World Cups, the World Championships and ultimately, the Olympic Games. With her help, I've earned gold in each of these events. The most valuable part of this influence has been helping me become distinctly aware of who I am, what my strengths are, and channelling this belief into performance."
