All year we have been tapping our stick's up to learn and support different cause's. This month we are stickering up our helmet's. So Lets Talk. As athletes we are told to be stronger, faster, tougher, and smarter then our opponents. We hear during competition suck it up, skate it off, don't just lay there get up. Some times it's Hey cupcake, princess, little girl, I'm going to beat you.
The pressure and stress of playing sports can have a very strong impact on our mental health. Some times it's hard to know how to handle it and when you hear all the time to be strong, as an athlete you can feel like you need to just push through it. Strong people are the ones who know something doesn't feel right and have the ability to talk about it. Being strong and good athletes our mental heath is very important but it's even more important in our everyday life. We want everyone to know that it's ok to feel the stress and pressures of sport and life, and we are here to listen and talk. Don't hold it in, find some one and Let's Talk.
