What Do Athletes Have to Fear?

What Do Athletes Have to Fear?

Fear is a major part of everyone's lives. Sometimes it can be called many different things (anxiety, stress, nerves, etc) because we, ironically, are afraid to be afraid (or at least admit to it). Fear does not discriminate who it affects or even what the object of your fear is. You can be afraid of both good and bad things. Athletes are just like everyone else. They have their own fears that can prevent them from performing at their peak level.

Naomi Osaka and Mental Health

Naomi Osaka and Mental Health

While on vacation, there was a major shake up in the tennis world. In this episode we look at the incident of Naomi Osaka and talk about athlete mental health. Will this impact the sports psychology field? Could this be a turning point in sport culture's negative stigma on seeking mental performance and mental health help? Maybe we need to rethink how we view and treat athletes in this regard.
