Mind Over Muscle: Lori Freeman on Athletes' Mental Health

I think it's really again courageous of those professional athletes who do speak out openly about their mental health, because it really does open the door for other athletes to feel more comfortable sharing what they're experiencing and get the help that they need.
When you think of athletes, you might picture physical prowess and endurance. But there's a side of sports that's just as crucial: mental health. In this episode of 'Speaking Candidly with Candace', Sports Psychologist Lori Freeman dives into the mental challenges athletes face and why mental wellness is just as important as physical training. From dealing with performance pressure to managing injuries, Freeman sheds light on the psychological hurdles that can impact an athlete's game.
She highlights the bravery of those who speak out about their struggles, showing that seeking help isn't a sign of weakness but of strength. Freeman also offers practical advice for both athletes and parents, emphasizing the importance of mental training to enhance focus and block out distractions. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in sports, whether you're an athlete, a coach, or a supportive parent.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the mental side of sports and how to foster a healthy, balanced approach to athletic performance.
