A Coach’s Role in Destigmatizing and Addressing Athlete Mental Health

Coaches and trainers close to high school and collegiate athletes can play a crucial role in helping athletes recognize when their mental health is at stake. We can serve as mentors, help athletes talk through challenges and refer them to resources for further support. Student- athletes are deserving of better mental health, and we can show them that reaching out for help is not weakness, but instead reflects a strong, smart and proactive decision. Join moderator Dr. Karlie Intlekofer and a panel of distinguished sports performance specialists to discuss how we can encourage student-athletes to prioritize their mental health while balancing the everyday commitment to their sport and related sports performance goals.
