It’s time we acknowledge the connection between mental and physical health. When you’re participating in a high performance scenario with a lot of expectations, the situation can exacerbate feelings of anxiety and depression. Arming athletes with the proper education to build resilience is crucial to the long term health of the individuals.
We speak with Tim DeWeese, Director at Johnson County Mental Health and Caitlin Truhe, Athletic Trainer with Blue Valley Schools, about mental health in athletics and how to inspire others to adopt the call to action.
Join us as we discuss:
- The connection between mental & physical health
- Balancing athletics with other interests for mental security
- Conversations around mental health as an athletic trainer
- The stigma around mental trauma
- Hopes for the Be The Difference campaign
