In this compelling episode, we delve deep into the harrowing journey of a resilient athlete who endured the trauma of manipulation and abuse in sport. Our very own Katie bravely jumps in to some of the details of her own story. She shares her raw and candid experience, shedding light on the profound impact it had on her life, both during her athletic career and beyond.
As we navigate her story, we explore the critical importance of integrating mental health in sports. We uncover why this integration is not just necessary but essential for the well-being of athletes. From implementing small and meaningful strategies to providing proper resources and support, we examine the various facets of this crucial aspect of athlete care.
