....Growing up and playing multiple sports, there
was always that pressure to meet expectations and compete. You were
always told that there was somebody better than you, somebody working
harder than you, somebody who was coming for your position. As a kid
that pressure can be a lot, and it only increases, as the sport gets
more intense and serious....
....But the truth is, many do struggle and the
stigma that plays out in society also reaches the athletic world. It’s
different than an easily recognizable injury; admitting your struggling
is thought of as admitting weakness, you are no longer a strong athlete
than can handle anything....
...moreBethany`s Notes: A great general opinion article about how the world of sports has been affected by mental health and how those at the top level have shared their story to help others. I believe continued stories like this will allow others to open up and get help when needed. Being strong is being honest when you need help.
