"Pause is Power" is one of the most impactful campaign messages coming from the 2024 Paris Olympics thus far. Many of us know Simone Biles as a powerhouse in the world of gymnastics, an American icon. However, during the 2020 Olympics, she faced an extreme mental block, forcing her to withdraw from the competition. The pressure from the media and the immense expectations she had built for herself culminated in a boiling point, where her athletic performance suffered. Arguably, she changed the narrative of how the public views extraordinary athletes, revealing their vulnerability and showing that, at the end of the day, they are as human as anyone else and sometimes need a break. It is inevitable that athletes can face a plateau, where the pressure to become better, faster, and stronger can cause harmful mental side effects that often go unspoken. Personally, coming from competitive swimming most of my life, we always said it was 80% mental and 20% physical. Therefore, I understand that an athlete's mental health is imperative to their performance and safety. Seeing Simone's comeback from 2020 to 2024 has been incredibly inspiring. Her story has sparked worldwide conversations about improving support for athletes' mental health. When looking into the marketing trends for the 2024 Paris Olympics, I am thrilled to see campaigns and advertisements like her partnership with Powerade, which open conversations about mental health and advocate for the ability to take breaks. The emotional resonance of the campaign video has been a huge success point for the collaboration, deeply impacting and connecting with viewers. The lesson I hope many people take away from this is that in many aspects of life, taking a break is necessary for the longevity of success; a moment to step back, refocus, and recharge can do more good than one can imagine.
