Before Simone Biles jumped on the balance beam in Paris’ Bercy Arena on Tuesday, she appeared to whisper: “You got this. It’s your time.

”Completing a Yurchenko double pike is hard enough without looping self-criticism. Telling yourself you’re capable can calm your nerves and emulate how you feel in practice. Plus, talking to yourself in the third-person — like Biles telling herself, “You got this” — can actually decrease stress and improve your performance. – Megan Sauer

Trump is much less of a leader than he is a winner. He won the presidency by dividing America. By taking advantage of existing divisions and praying on them. Trump refers to his political opponents as “losers” and is much more focused on this than his fellow citizens. The need for change is immediate and immense. The United States cannot be a country of winners and losers. The United States has to be a team with leaders that we respect. – Ian Bremmer
