Athletes & Mental Health: The Psychology of the Uproar | Level Up w/ Dr. Mondo

Dr. Armando Gonzalez looks to make sense of Naomi Osaka, Simone Biles and Ryan Garcia being just a handful of prominent athletes who have chosen to prioritize their own personal mental health rather than compete in high stakes competitions with more and more athletes following their lead and yet, not everyone in society is on board with these decisions. Dr. Mondo examines this through the lens of psychology by proposing that this moment recognizes a cultural reckoning in long held American values in competition colliding with values of prioritizing mental health, empathy and compassion.  Host: Dr. Armando Gonzalez Voice your thoughts on this episode by downloading the Vover app here!  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
