On August 1, 2022, I left the United States on a Watson Fellowship to study athlete's mental health. Framed as a year of independent, purposeful study, I am "flying solo" to England, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Kenya, Australia, and China for a year to learn from the stories and takes of elite athletes, coaches, and sports psychologists on athlete's mental health. As a recent retiree from Division 1 Football at Davidson College, I also hope to share my story and journey into retirement. 

 

Given the recent attention athlete's mental health, I hope that this blog can bring attention to the topic, point to solutions, and serve as a source of inspiration to athletes worldwide.
