WSLAM - Addressing Mental Health and Turning Pain into Power

From Morgan - for this week's TLP submission, I chose Jordan Nixon’s episode on Get With It called “Addressing Mental Health and Turning Pain into Power”. I chose this because I found that what Jordan had to say really hit home for me. As a former athlete, you always hear coaches drill into their players the idea of “Mental Toughness” and the connotation that if you can’t handle the environment your in then you’re mentally “soft”. Young Athletes need to hear, more often, athletes like Jordan talking about how important it is to prioritize your mental health! The stigma surrounding the topic needs to be beaten!
