Athletes are known for having the most packed schedule: practice for multiple hours a day, a full college class course load, a club or two, a part time job, and maybe a social life

#A11MAACMinds

[MAAC SAAC @MAAC_SAAC]

Pressures can quickly accumulate for young people as they transition from home and high school to life as college students - don't ever be afraid or ashamed to ask for help!

Day 1. April 22, 2019
INSIDE THE MIND OF A STUDENT-ATHLETE: Brian Bates, Men’s Swimming and Diving “Mental health, as a swimmer, is so important because the water blocks out the outside world leaving you to just your own thoughts.

[Saint Peter's SAAC @SPUSAAC]

It’s about taking care of myself so that I align with my most authentic self. Mental health is an important cornerstone in our existence as beings. Mental health problems can effect anyone at any age, any race, any gender, any sexual orientation.” #A11MAACMinds #maacsports

Day 1. April 22, 2019
INSIDE THE MIND OF A STUDENT ATHLETE: Mia Greene, Women’s Soccer
“To me, mental health refers our wellbeing on an emotional and more internal level. How we think, feel, react to situations, and even how we connect with others.

[MAAC SAAC @MAAC_SAAC]

#MAACSAAC made it its mission to combat mental health, but this initiative will not stop after one week, or one month. #A11MAACMinds are committed to breaking the stigma.
