Let's be kind on social media this year people! #athletementalhealth #onrise
March Madness is here, but here's what you may not know about college basketball players. ???40% of Division I basketball players experience high levels of anxiety and stress during the season. ???Only 10% of NCAA basketball players seek mental health support, despite intense performance pressures. ???A 2022 study found that 35% of men’s and 48% of women’s college basketball players report struggling with mental exhaustion. For many, this tournament is a defining moment but also an immense weight. The pressure to perform, exhausting schedules, schoolwork, relationships, social media scrutiny, and fear of failure create a?perfect storm for mental health struggles. Be kind this March Madness! Love on those basketball players!
