Скачать или смотреть Beyond the Game: Understanding Athlete Mental Health & Grief

In this interview, Maurice Geddis discusses the different types of grief that athletes experience, from the daily pressures of balancing academics and sports to the emotional toll of career-ending injuries. He highlights the distinction between intrinsically and extrinsically motivated athletes and how their mindsets affect their ability to cope with setbacks.

A key topic explored is the grief associated with losing an athletic identity, particularly for the 99% of college athletes who do not go pro. Maurice also shares his research findings on the higher suicide rate among male collegiate athletes compared to the general college population, underscoring the critical need for mental health support in athletics.

Join us to gain a deeper understanding of the immense pressure and unique struggles athletes face, and to learn about the importance of addressing their mental and emotional well-being.
