It's not an excuse. An associate of mine has a whole practice devoted to athletes of all sports. Athletes work their asses off to get where they are. And as with alot of devotions, if you put 99% of your effort in 1 place another place will come up short. And mental health seems to be that place.
1 in 5 NCAA athletes are walking around right now considering an actual suicidal plan. 67% have had ideation. And the numbers get higher for HS.
Social media is a real problem because athletes are entertainers. It's a real blow to them when their target audience turns on them.
Often we mistake physical prowess with mental strength. When the truth is, over dependence on physical prowess often stagnates and slows down mental maturity.
