Designing Sports Facilities That Support Athletes Holistically
As the Managing Partner of ZGF Architects, Sharron van der Meulen manages a firm of 750 people across seven offices in the U.S. and Canada. Professional and collegiate sports leagues and teams operate at the crossroads of business, entertainment and elite athleticism, putting players in a unique pressure-filled spotlight. Research indicates that as many as 35% of elite athletes report a mental health disorder. However, in recent years, numerous high-profile athletes have come forward to express their need to pause and prioritize their well-being—something that's helping destigmatize the mental health challenges many athletes face. This spotlight has encouraged some teams, leagues and universities to pay attention to the role they play and decipher whether they're doing all they can to support their athletes. Our firm ZGF Architects has designed a variety of sports facilities, so we've encountered many organizations that are ready and willing to look beyond the game day experience. They're recognizing that it is more crucial to support athletes holistically and consider their everyday needs because this can have a greater impact on long-term team performance. But how can the places where athletes train and compete make a difference in individuals' health and well-being—and ultimately in team stability? These are some of the strategies we've seen have an impact, and I encourage sports organizations and developers renovating, expanding or building new facilities to keep them in mind. To reach elite levels of competition, many players have been specializing in a single sport for most of their lives. Years of repetitive motion can increase athletes' risk of injury. This underscores the need for top-tier health and fitness equipment and spaces for personalized training and recovery. It also points to the opportunity to consider each athlete more holistically in order to address the connection between mental and physical health and reduce the pressure of high performance. In addition to spaces for stretching, massage, yoga and aquatics, at ZGF, we've been seeing greater demand for quiet zones for counseling, rest and meditation. Additional amenities becoming more common include full-service dining facilities with in-house chefs and nutritionists. And increasingly, dental and optical services are being included in order to offer athletes stress-free access to comprehensive care. Spaces dedicated to female athletes must address women's unique and complex health needs, including dietary requirements, strength training and ongoing education for our ever-changing bodies. Going beyond the standards, this translates to spaces that are comfortable and private and that acknowledge support and understanding. Throughout all of these spaces, design details should reflect soothing, elevated environments, with low-contrast material palettes and warm textures. I recommend putting a greater emphasis on access to nature through outdoor connections, biophilic design and natural light—including within practice courts and other indoor fitness facilities. Not only can this contribute to stress reduction, but natural light can also help athletes overcome the fatigue associated with frequent travel across time zones. Frequent travel can be a major stressor for elite athletes, which reinforces the need for training and performance centers to convey a sense of home. In many cases, we're designing for young adults who are apart from their families for the first time. As sources of connection and belonging, these facilities become their safe spaces. Design details should feature comfortable furnishings with spaces that are residential in feel and incorporate local, natural materials. A professional team's training center that we worked on in Texas, for example, features a mix of mass timber and local limestone that fits within the context of the location, while another complex in the Pacific Northwest takes inspiration from the surrounding mountains and forests. Playful and inviting lounges encourage athletes to unwind. Indoor-outdoor connections also encourage restorative breaks and connection to outdoor spaces. In many facilities, outdoor spaces offer chances for athletes to connect with the broader community, further expressing the support and enthusiasm that surrounds them. But, with athletes' health and well-being in mind, privacy and security are paramount. This means providing private parking areas, separate entrances and other accommodations that help shield athletes from their celebrity status and reinforce that their safety and well-being are taken seriously. In many sports, performance is said to peak for elite athletes in their mid-to-late 20s or early 30s, which can heighten the pressure to maximize this short career. This also reinforces teams' opportunity—and, to some, obligation—to play a role in protecting athletes' long-term health and in setting them up for success later in life. At both the collegiate and professional levels, we're seeing greater demand for spaces that support academic education, life skills development, post-sports career training, financial planning and more. This is especially pronounced at universities, where student-athletes not only face intense pressure to stay healthy and fit for their sport but also to keep up their grades to maintain scholarships. In the Pacific Northwest, for example, one university we worked with demonstrated its support for these challenges by putting its academic center for student-athletes front and center on campus. Upstairs tutoring and studying spaces, a library and teaching labs are reserved specifically for athletes and feature abundant glass, daylight and an airy sense of openness. Downstairs, with a vibrant backdrop of graphics and art that celebrate past and present student-athletes, the first-floor cafe and community spaces are open to all, nurturing cross-campus connections. On full display, these connections ultimately lay a strong foundation for a well-supported and supportive athletic program. This also signals to others the university's dedication to the success of student-athletes after graduation. At the core of this foundation is an athletes-first approach. Yes, the game day experience matters. Creating a sports venue that engages the community and entertains fans matters. But a team's most significant investment is its players. Even for highly skilled, elite athletes, the pressure to compete at the highest level can take a toll on mental and physical health. But when facilities are designed to nurture mind, body and spirit, everyone wins. Forbes Business Council is the foremost growth and networking organization for business owners and leaders.

Breaking The Mold: How Health Retreats Are Redefining Wellness Travel
getty Health retreats are continually gain in popularity in the travel space, but the way they are run has been restructured over the years. Once focused on weight loss, they now incorporate mental, physical and emotional health as well. One such example is Mountain Trek Health Reset Retreat a week-long immersive health retreat in British Columbia, Canada, that's been around for over 30 years. While many may initially sign up hoping to drop a few pounds or gain fitness, they quickly discover that the experience goes far deeper—transforming not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well. 'We call ourselves a health reset retreat,' says Katya Campbell, the new General Manager and Fitness Director at Mountain Trek. 'We're not just focused on lifespan, but on healthspan—that period of life when you're healthy, vibrant, and living with intention. It's about inspiring people to make small, sustainable changes that can drastically improve their quality of life.' Campbell is a reflection of the retreat's evolving philosophy. At 49, she represents much of the core demographic—70% of Mountain Trek guests are women, with an average age of 54. 'There was a conscious decision to find someone who would resonate with our clients,' Katya notes. 'Many of them are in perimenopause or menopause, and they're craving connection, balance, and most of all—permission to care for themselves.' That sense of permission is something Kirkland Shave, Program creator and co-owner, has seen shift dramatically in recent years. 'At the core of it, two things are the hardest for everyone: knowing what's authentic to them, and believing they deserve to take care of themselves,' he explains. 'Especially women—they're used to giving to their children, partners, parents. But here, they start to realize how powerful it is to give back to themselves.' getty Mountain Trek's reputation has evolved significantly. 'We were once known locally as the 'fat farm,'' Campbell admits. 'It was a hardcore bootcamp—restrictive diets and punishing workouts. But people would go home and gain the weight back. We realized that wasn't real change.' Today, the program is radically holistic, rooted in five pillars: movement, nutrition, sleep, detoxification, and emotional well-being. 'We understand now that weight is a symptom, not a target,' says Shave. 'If cortisol is high from chronic stress, the body holds onto fat as a survival mechanism. So unless you address sleep, hormones, trauma—you're just applying a Band-Aid.' At the week-long retreat guests hike through stunning wilderness, eat nourishing food, learn about circadian rhythms, and engage in deep emotional work. There are lectures on menopause, classes on habit formation, and a lot of talk about what constitutes healthy eating.'This is not spa life with cucumber water and poolside naps,' Campbell laughs. 'This is a deep dive.' getty That deep dive seems to be resonating. Roughly 30–40% of guests are repeat visitors, an unusually high rate for the wellness industry. 'We may be hard to get to,' Campbell acknowledges, 'but that's part of the magic. You unplug. You slow down. You're wrapped in nature, surrounded by people who live the lifestyle we're teaching. There's an authenticity to it.' Many guests return not just because they enjoyed it—but because the program helped them through pivotal life moments: a divorce, job burnout, a major surgery, or the grief of losing a parent. 'There's usually a catalyst,' Shave explains. 'A life event that pushes someone to finally say, 'I have to make a change.' Once they're here, they remember how good it feels to be in their bodies again—and they want to keep that feeling alive.' Campbell agrees. 'A lot of our guests are dealing with overwhelm. They're at that tipping point. We help them feel seen. Less alone. And we give them tools to shift—not just for a week, but for the long run.' getty Unlike many larger wellness destinations, Mountain Trek caps its groups at just 16 people. This intimacy is intentional. 'It allows for deep connection,' Campbell says. 'People open up. They cry. They support each other. And in that, they start to heal.' Shave calls it 're-falling in love with yourself.' After a week of eating clean, hiking in untouched wilderness, and experiencing the aliveness that comes from connection and self-care, guests leave '10 years younger,' he says. 'Their eyes shine. Their skin glows. Their step is friskier. It's not magic—it's metabolic science combined with emotional support.' getty Mountain Trek may have started as a fitness-focused program, but today it embodies something far more progressive: a retreat that understands the intricacies of modern midlife, especially for women. It acknowledges burnout, stress, hormone shifts, and the emotional toll of constantly giving to others. 'In many ways, menopause is a clarifying force,' Campbell reflects. 'Our tolerance goes down—but that's a good thing. It forces us to reevaluate what we truly want. And when women finally prioritize themselves, not only do they thrive—they become even more powerful caregivers, leaders, and community builders.' With its focus on small, lasting changes and a genuine commitment to transformation, Mountain Trek doesn't just focus on a week-long break from life—but rather a reset for a better one.

Flu Shot Sparks False HIV Alarm in Dialysis Patient
False-positive HIV test results following influenza vaccination are rare. However, unexpected cross-reactivity remains a concern in the evolution of vaccine formulations. After obtaining her annual flu shot, an 82-year-old woman on haemodialysis (HD) was repeatedly discovered to have positive HIV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test results without having risk factors, and previously, the test was negative. Only a more detailed medical history revealed a possible unexpected explanation. A case report by Rayyan Mkahal,MD, a nephrology fellow at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and his colleagues highlights the potential often-overlooked complications associated with the flu vaccine. The Patient and Her History The patient presented for HD with end-stage kidney disease on intermittent HD in one of the dialysis centres. Her medical history was otherwise significant for diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia. At the start of HD, the HIV ELISA test result was negative. However, 7 months later, during routine testing, she was unexpectedly found to have a positive HIV ELISA. The patient had never received a blood transfusion and was not sexually active. The patient was clinically stable without evidence of active infection, weight loss, night sweats, fever, chills, or other systemic symptoms. She has no reported recent travel. Findings and Diagnosis On admission, her vital signs, including blood pressure, heart and respiratory rates, oxygen saturation on room air, and temperature, were all within normal limits. Complete blood cell count was within the normal range. Otherwise, her immunisation history included a hepatitis B vaccine before initiating dialysis and yearly flu vaccination, the most recent of which was administered approximately 45 days before detection. Her previous COVID booster vaccine was administered 4 months ago. No illnesses, hospitalisations, or major interim events have occurred since dialysis initiation. Other probable causes of false-positive ELISA results, such as autoimmune diseases, malignancy, or recent infections, were considered but were not supported by clinical history or laboratory evaluation. An HIV polymerase chain reaction was performed 14 weeks after the initial positive test and revealed no viral replication. No HIV testing was performed between weeks 3 and 14; therefore, the precise timing of seroconversion remains unknown. Discussion 'Despite the use of relatively new vaccine formulations, cross-reactivity with ELISA remains a relevant phenomenon. Given that influenza vaccines are given annually, clinicians must remain vigilant to avoid misdiagnosis and treatment. This case highlights the need for increased awareness of this phenomenon and suggests future research to explore the persistence of vaccine-antibody interference in the vulnerable population,' the study authors wrote.
