Field Notes

What a pleasure it has been to hear from colleagues across all market segments that are excited to see business moving forward, if not as per usual, at least with encouraging momentum and optimism for the remainder of 2022 and beyond!

In the Rights Holder Issue, we profile a trio of noteworthy individuals and organizations that are doing their best with innovation, perseverance, and education to better the lives and environment for the athletes, members, and communities they serve. In this issue, we celebrate them.

The Summer months are always a time to take a moment to unplug, rest, relax, and recharge. We are now seeing more and more organizations plan weeklong shutdowns during holidays, such as the Fourth of July. We must all remember, “it’s a marathon, not a sprint.” The pandemic led to unprecedented burnout, historic resignation rates, and a mental health crisis. More and more organizations realize vacation days are no longer just a perk; they are becoming a requirement.

We have witnessed people taking less official time off because most of us were, and still are, living a virtual working lifestyle. Employers are recognizing that while it’s exciting, a change of scenery, and even fun, it does not solve burnout.

No matter your interest, there’s sure to be something to inspire you in this issue of PUSH Magazine. Be well my friends, keep smiling, and enjoy the read!
