Episode #41 Mental Health in Athletes: Creating safe spaces for youth athletes and beyond

Running in some barriers when providing athletes who are struggling? Not sure if you should tame their competitiveness or use it as a strength? Working with athletes of all ages and stages in sports can present some unique emotional challenges. We talk to a former professional athlete and founder of Athletes Against Anxiety and Depression, China Mccarney on how therapists can better understand and treat athletes.
