Jesse Walsh: Mental Health in the Fast Lane

We hear the messages: ok, just keep doing it, just put your head down, just do it. But like in This Day and age too, which is kind of a sin, is I find a lot of youth now are also getting the pressure from social media because they're only seeing the positive and the super good.
Ever thought about the mental toll of a sports career? In this episode of 'Courtside Conversations', host Brandon St. Croix sits down with Jesse Walsh, a former track and field sprinter who’s now a competitive gymnastics coach. Jesse opens up about his own mental health struggles during his athletic career, from the pressure to perform to dealing with injuries. But it’s not just about the past; Jesse shares how he uses his experiences to support and guide young athletes today.
They dive into the often overlooked mental health challenges in sports, discussing how social media adds to the pressure and the critical need for better support systems. Jesse’s candid conversation sheds light on the importance of mental health awareness in the sports community. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or sports fan, this episode offers valuable insights and real-life strategies for managing mental well-being in the competitive world of sports.
