The transition to spring brings all kinds of emotions for adolescent athletes. Tryouts for spring sports bring anticipation and anxiety, while thoughts and planning for prom and/or graduation start creeping into play. The pressures of preparing for college through standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, college visits, etc. The spring is a time of hope and new beginning and everyone has that mental plan of how they want it to all go. It's a lot.

Luckily, Children's Mercy Sports Medicine Center's Becky Wiseman, a specialist when it comes to the mental wellness around sport, joins us on the podcast to help adolescent athletes and their parents manage the big feelings and big reactions that have already happened this spring, or are about to.
