I second this for any programs looking to strengthen their mental wellness initiatives. It’s inspiring to see how others are paving the way in prioritizing the mental health of their athletes. If your program is exploring ways to build or enhance your mental wellness initiatives, it's worth taking note of these efforts. Let's continue to share and support each other in fostering environments where our athletes can thrive both mentally and physically. Great work Stephany Coakley (she/her/hers) https://lnkd.in/gEde_9hn #MentalHealth #AthleteWellness #SportsLeadership #TheZone

One program, one athlete at a time!

“It’s time for the leaders in college sports to embrace today’s technologies leading toward proactive mental health management and cultivate an environment where athletes can seek care without judgment. “ The future of care, recruiting and retaining athletes will be in total holistic health. Some programs have gotten ahead of it, but needs to be a common practice.

As we watch the Olympics, it's inspiring to see Simone Biles dominate gymnastics once again in Paris. Beyond her incredible athletic performance, she's also championing the critical message that mental health matters. Reflecting on her journey from four years ago, it's a testament to her strength and resilience to see her back on top after taking a necessary step back to prioritize her mental well-being. Simone's actions break down barriers and demonstrate that prioritizing mental health can lead to even greater achievements. Her influence extends beyond the sport, serving as a powerful example for young athletes everywhere: taking care of yourself is paramount, even at the highest levels of competition. This aligns with what I wrote about in 2022, highlighting how Black athletes can shine a light on mental health and impact stigmatized environments. Drawing from my own experiences growing up as an athlete in the Bronx, stories like Simone's are crucial for fostering healthier perspectives in our communities. While her impact on non-Black athletes is also significant, I am emphasizing this particular point to underscore the unique challenges and triumphs in our own communities.
