Let’s Talk About Mental Health for Women in Sports

Behind the wins you see on screen, mental health struggles often go unseen for female athletes. While participating in professional sports can foster confidence, resilience and an exhilarating sense of purpose, it would be misleading to ignore the unique psychological challenges and gender-specific pressures that women in athletics face. This International Women’s Day we’re bringing the conversation around mental health to the forefront, continuing to break the stigma and support the well-being of our women in sports.
