There is a rising discussion and awareness about the mental well being of athletes. Being an athlete is a hard thing to do. It is not just physically taxing, but mentally and emotionally as well. Especially for student athletes that have the added pressure of classes, homework and tests on top of performing at a high level athletically.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Glenwood and VCU graduate Kelly Graves joins Derek Parris to discuss mental health, being a student athlete, playing soccer and plenty more.
