0:01. The ad starts with a close up shot of a pair of hands holding a photograph. Immediately the eye are drawn to the bright yellow and black gloves on the pair of hands holding the photo. The hands are also behind the a black race car steering wheel clearly showing that the person in the photo is in a car. The hands are holding the photo at the corners in a way that give the impression whoever is holding the photo is looking down at it. He also shifts his thumb a half inch down the front of the photo making it seem as though he is analyzing it. The gloves are reflecting light which could be the sun, possibly indicating that they are driving in the daytime. The photograph contains a man in a race car looking at a little boy (both white) through his side window. The man looks to be smiling at the young boy. Father and son maybe. The boy’s back is turned to the camera. He is small and wearing a red coat, just as the older man in the car is wearing, possibly indicating that they know each other from before this photo. The image is clear and seems to have a good quality. 

0:02. The image switches to the man holding the photo. The camera is close to is face while he sits in a race car. He is white, maybe in his late twenties and his eyes are closed while his face seems peaceful. He may be thinking or reminiscing. He could be the little boy in the photo, now grown up a race car driving like his father. His blue and white hat says “NAPA” and “RACING” and around his head are some type of restraints that are typically seen in race cars. He starts to breath in then out but it seems purposefully. As is he is forcing himself to breath. Maybe he is calming himself down. Is he about to race? A reflection of a rainbow is seen at the left part of the screen as a reflection of light in the camera. 

0:03. The next image is a close up of a man, possibly thirty. The shot is of his shoulders and up. He has darker skin, maybe Spanish, and has a black beard with short black hair. He is standing up under a white soccer net. The pole of the net seems to be about 3 or 4 feet above his head. He may be a goalie for a soccer team. He is looking intently in front of him with a sort of focused and determined look. The sun is reflecting off his face, showing that the sun is at a position above him but not behind him yet. Behind the net is an overhang of some sort and what seems like banners. The man may be in a stadium, perhaps a professional soccer player. He has a tattoo below his right ear that looks like some sort of symbol. The three neon green strips on his black shirt indicate that he might be wearing some type of uniform. Most likely the goalie for a soccer team at a game. 

0:04. The next image is more of a wide shot of a professional baseball player on the Rays. The player is standing with a black baseball bat in a firm grip of both his hands that have white gloves on them. He is white and has a brown beard and mustache. He is grasping the bat in the middle as he is his analyzing something to his right. The pitcher maybe? He doesn’t seem to be up to home base just yet as there is no one else around him. He could be first up to bat in the inning, waiting for the pitcher to finish his practice pitches. His helmet is black with white letters in the front, TB, and covers his right ear only. We would think he would cover the ear that faces the pitcher when batting. This could indicating that he is most likely left handed, except that he has a sleeve on his right arm, which players typically place on their throwing arms. His uniform is white with the word “Rays” in the middle in navy blue, and what looks like a blue ray bird on his left arm sleeve. His uniform looks to have a Nike symbol on it but his throwing arm sleeve has an Adidas symbol on it. He is about twenty feet from his dugout with what looks like at least two men looking at his back. One is wearing a white shirt with a navy blue hat, while the other seems to be in black and more shadowed. Above the dug out there are blue seats and some are occupied by people. Maybe Rays fans watching the game. 

0:05-0:06.  The ad then shows a scene of a young women laying on her back in an indoor field. She seems to be in the middle of the field as the other side of the building is as least 100 yards away. The camera is filming from at a low angle as we can see the top of her head. She is white with brown hair and is wearing a light blue, long sleeve uniform. She is looking up at the clearing while rolling a white and blue soccer ball up and down her stomach. There are two soccer nets in the background and the walls of the building are white, with a lined pattern. There are bright lights on the top of the building and given its indoor she is possibly laying on a green turf field. There seems to be a recurring theme in the add of different types of sports players in their element. Each one seems to be the athletes either preparing or waiting for something to happen. 

0:07 The ad shows a close up of the same female soccer players face at a different angle. The close up is of the left side of her face. She has her eyes closed and it is clear she has make up on. This could indicate that if she most likely isn’t preparing for a sporting match but demonstrating how she might given that she has make up on. The make up most likely means she got hired to act out her pregame sport routine. 

0:08 The same player is now sitting up in the same spot she was previously in. Her legs are criss-crossed under her and she has the ball sitting on her legs, in between her hands. Her name is written on the screen as Cari Roccaro and under it, it says NWSL. Mostly likely standing for National Women’s Soccer League. She has dark blue leggings on with white cleats. Her hair is up in a pony tail and she is speaking to the camera. Possibly telling us about her career as a soccer player and what she does regarding the sport. 

0:09 A man is getting into a race car through the driver side window. He seems to be in a race car stadium with a big crowd in the seats in the background. Could this be the guy from the first clip? It is hard to decipher who he is as in the clip his back is toward the camera and he has sunglasses on. His race car is white, blue, and yellow as is his uniform. He has short dark hair and seems to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The word “AUTO” is printed in white on the back driver side of the car and there are stickers on the side of the window as well. There is a very big and tall building with to the back left of his car with the numbers 40, 41, 42, 43. The numbers are on both visible sides so we could assume they’re on every side of the building. It is sunny out with a decent amount of clouds in the sky. There is also a man behind the car looking down at what looks like something in his hand. He has headphones on and a similar uniform to the driver so we can assume he is on his team. 

0:10 The next image is the same man in his car fist pumping a guy out his window. It is still difficult to identify exactly who he is as he now has a helmet on. It is defiantly the same guy as the second before because he has the same uniform and the same car. The man first pumping him from outside the car has on a black hat and black jacket with red headphone. These could possibly be noise canceling headphones or headphones that allow him to talk to the driver. The man he’s first pumping could be wishing him good luck and maybe be his coach that will instruct him during his race. The drive immediately give the man a thumbs up after the first pump. 

0:11 The ad shows the next clip being 4 women all embracing each other on a field. Given their white uniform and the green field they’re on, they could possibly be soccer or rugby players. We could assume that because of their smiles and the hugs they are giving to each other that they just scored a goal for their team. They are all white with dark hair, possibly from the same place. One girl begins to point at something in the distance. Maybe its the score board or another teammate across the field. 

0:12. The next image shows about 10 men all in soccer uniforms, standing together with their arms around each other. The men all vary in hight and race but are wearing the same clothes other then one man who we can assume may be the goalie. They are stand in-front of the goal post in front of people we can assume are their fans. This could mean that they are a professional sports team and the banners have various words such as “cauldron, KC, Welcome to the Blue Hell” and each player has a different number on their jersey. After a man in neon yellow grabs the camera close up.  

0:13-0:14. This ad shows a baseball player getting ready to swing at a pitch. This could be the same player as before given the same ear is covered and the same arm has the sleeve. We can see a pattern of previous people shown now actually playing their sport. The player has the name Lowe on his back as he is turned away from the camera. He also has the number 8 on. He is left handed as he is standing on the right side of the base to swing. The catcher is squatted behind him ready to catch the pitch. The player has white pants with a white shin cover and grey cleats. Watching him is the other teams dugout as there seems to be 10 men in the dugout waiting to see if he hits the pitch. Fans are above the dug out as well watching. Lowe swings the bat and hits it towards first base meaning he swung at the pitch too early and has a likely chance of getting out. 

0:15 Lowe is in the next image sitting in front of the camera in his same uniform but instead of the helmet he now has a navy blue hat that still says TB. His name appears on the bottom left screen as Brandon Lowe and under it say’s MLB. He is not sitting at an empty stadium meaning this was filmed before or after that previous hit. His mouth is moving at the camera meaning he is probably discussing something about the game to the audience. 

0:16. In the next second the Ad shows him singing his bat around in a circle. The bat is in his right hand and it seems he is using the circular motion of moving the bat to stretch his arms. He is back in the game as there are people in the stadium and on the Jumbotron. The stadium is indoors and has over head lights so it could be dark. 

0:17 The ad shows Cari Roccaro again but this time she is not sitting but seems to be running and is innately focused on her feet. We can assume since she previously had a soccer ball she is dribbling it around. It is hard to tell as the camera is only showing her shoulders and up. 

0:18. The next image is another girls team all dressed in blue, pink, and orange uniforms. They are all in a circular huddle with their hands all outstretched in the middle. Could possibly be a pregame chant. The uniforms consist of shorts and short sleeve shirts and they all have their hair tied back. As they all seem to exclaim something their hands all simultaneously go downwards and they being to turn around. Each second is a new clip from a different sporting event or person and it seems to show a type of routine before the players play. 

0:19. The ad shows a soccer match as a player in neon yellow comes up to the right of the net and shoots the ball past the defensive player and the goalie. Another neon yellow player to the left of the shooter watches as the ball goes in and after runs towards the player who made the shot. The player who scored runs the opposite direction towards what seems like the right corner of the field. They are in a stadium and the fan behind the net jump up and cheer for the goal. This could mean that the neon yellow team are at their home stadium with supporting fan in attendance. 

0:20. Lowe is in the next clip in the Rays dugout this time. He is walking towards another player with his right hand outstretched. To his left are 3 water jugs with cups for drinking. He touches the hand of another person in the dugout in dark blue but only the hand of the man is visible. 

0:21. The ad shows another soccer match where a bright pink player has the ball about 30 feet from the net. With the ball at his feet and a defender coming towards him, he begins to swing his leg back and kick the ball. The ball is aimed at the left side of the net and as the goalie dives for it, the ball goes past him and hits the back. 

0:23 The previous goalie from the 3rd second of the ad is now sitting on the ground in front of possibly the same net. We can now see his entire upper body and his shirt has a red strip in it that wasn’t visible before. He is in a stadium with many empty seats behind him and he has more tattoos on his arms. His name appears on the bottom left corner, Zach Steffen, and under it says MLS. His shirts has a Colorado symbol and an Apple TV symbol on the left sleeve. 

0:24. An African American player in a green uniform is in the crowd with the stands. He is signing a blonde women’s white shirt which we can assume is an autograph for a fan. Two younger kids are next to the blonde ladies and one is holding a number 1, red, foam finger. It is still daylight out and it is portably after a game. 

0:25-0:27. A racer driver who is most likely the same one as before is sitting and speaking to the camera. He is in the same uniform and same hat as the beginning of the ad. His name is written in the bottom left corner as Chase Elliot and below his name says Nascar. He seems to be in some type of wear house as it looks like tanks and tires are behind him. 

Overview: The Ad speaking on rituals before games as it is important to take care of the body but also your mental health. It shows athletes and their steps to keeping their mind heathy while they play their sport. Many of the people in this video advocate for supporting your mental health. They explain how each person has rituals that can help clear ones mind and keep focused making ones mental health stronger.
