Former Division 1 athlete myself. I have so much I could share relating to mental illness and sports. Seeing videos like this encourage me to want to lend a helping hand any way I can. God Bless
@freddy nobody asked you to comment
@@NoName-gv6nm facts
Can I reach out to you ?
I am a Division 3 collegiate athlete, and this hit home hard. Thank you so much for sharing
I had to skip a performance because of mental health. I knew that I would get so much backlash for taking a mental health day, so I said I had a migraine. People kept on saying that it was an excuse. I took everything inside of me to not say that it was because of mental health. This video really helped me. Thank you.
This is such a wonderful TED talk! I want more people to talk about how toxic these mindsets can be and how much there is to gain in setting our athletes up for success. Thank you for talking about this :)
It’s not toxic this mindset helps build an athlete
I graduated just before covid striked as a professional dancers. We dealt with it every day. Thank you so much. I was so alone and broken. Thank you for sharing this.
She's my professor this semester, and she is amazing. I brag about her to all my friends lol
She was one of the victims that the creep Josh Primo exposed himself to..hope she is ok.
Mental health is an important topic. It shouldn't be ignored. Sadness is frequently disguised with a smile.
This is because many employees aren't interested in what's going on with your life outside of work, as long as they can make money off you.
Thank You for caring.
I got depressed in college as a D1 athlete as well my GPA nosedived.
i was a judo athlete and my isntructor did nothing about teasing and bullying in endured. sprots became my nightmare.
Who’s here from the NBA reddit 👀
Me
@@hotcarl3854When all the details come out, its fina be wild
Great Talk. Thank you.
Dr. C!! I finally found it.
New hire for the San Antonio Spurs? Sounds awesome! Great for the sport.
Fast forward one year later & this is the lady who *_PERVO_* Primo exposed his
P33 P33 to.
No means no Primo!
Yikes! That comment aged horribly.
Sports needs sportsmanship. I probably would have liked sports if my family hadn't been sports jerks.
Josh primo is so cooked

This is a uniquely American problem. Everywhere else people just play sports for fun. It's a privilege not a duty.
Very true it’s like a culture based syndrome. People form sports clubs as adults in Europe and the UK. In the USA, the athletes are pitted against each other and there is a lot of negativity and unrealistic beliefs.
As a mother your job is not to make sure they are always happy and skipping through life with a smile. As a mother your job is to prepare your children for life. That includes the ups and downs of life. Competitive sports can provide that adversity in a relatively safe environment. You should be grateful for competitive sports, not afraid of them.
I think you have a great idea here - competition in a relatively safe environment. I hope sports can follow through and provide both for all our young athletes :)
i played with the best of em my whole life, including some hard coaches. then one day played for a coach that i considered abusive. i havent been the same since. you guys dont know what you are talking about at all.
I feel every word.
You telling me the SPURS KNEW Primo was exposing himself without consent and didnt act... *9 times* I dont buy it lol
accusation is not proof.. just accusation. She had a camera in her hands.. just sayin
@@ST-cy6we so they reached a deal and we.,ll never know what it was about, right
I'm struggling with the concept that an NBA player, a job that gives young men access to the hottest women out there, decided to drop his drawers for this woman....
Lol right
Right makes no sense she a 3 which is why i think she lieing
Sports doesn't producing anything useful, nor does it accomplish any useful task. This makes doing well in sports an empty achievement, so it doesn't make sense that society places so much importance in sports. Sports are over appreciated in our society.
I WAS WEAK AND FRAIL. SPORTS GAVE ME CONFIDENTS IN MY SELF.
I WAS A TERRIBLE ATHLETE. BUT
JUST BARELY MAKING THE TEAM
HELPED ME BELIEVE IN MY SELF FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
@@franzhaas5597 But, where you able to function well in life? Theirs absolutely nothing wrong with being a terrible athlete.
@@Zohirul-Jewel Yes it helped greatly. It helped me be a STRONGER person.
Sports helped me be competitive and helped me not hate school
@@kvk8174 Ya, I think kids like sports because it allows them to get away from their studies for a bit.
She's so worried about the mental health of athletes, she got one fired and is suing him.
Exhibitionism is not a disease, it's a perverse behaviour.
@@Desi365 If you want to know crazy, just go to a college and date a psychology or psychiatry major..
@@ST-cy6we I agree they have issues, like everyone else.
Funny thing is I know a forensic medical examiner and there is something sinister in him, yes.
Primo could’ve have picked a worse victim smdh
How
Ask Jordan about winning. Beats losing EVERY time...
Josh Primo
I can see why Primo did it💀
She looks good
Sports and competition can be great and healthy and fun. But when you make it all about the win it easily becomes toxic.
Well said
What? Thats what sports is about winning. 😆🤷♀️🤦♀️
Who’s here because of the Josh Primo incident?
Me
Eeeeverybody. Still don't really understand what it was really about but she looks good ;-)
This is so depressing to re-watch after learning about the abuse the Spurs organization ignored and allowed Courtney to endure as a member.
You sound crazy this is what she signed up for, you say there is troubled people and stars risks are higher and greater, prime example now help him.
This probably doesn’t apply to sports itself, but recently my school’s varsity softball team lost state because the one of the girls was distracted for a split second and failed to tag the batter. She’s been getting bullied for it and the video of the whole thing made it’s way to Tik Tok, now she’s being told to harm herself by adults online.
Like I said it may not have much to do with sports itself but the mentality over a softball game is a complete joke to me.
I am a former D1 athlete myself. I suffered 4 concussions within a year and had to take a medical withdrawal. This hit home hard!
Primo rubbing his hands together while watching this video
Great athletes find their zen on the battlefield. They become the flow state, beyond processing worthless thoughts. They react at least 0.20sec faster than others. They harmonize mundane and divine, muscle and mind. They, in the moment, simply are.
Thoughts are too slow, emotions are even slower. It's always social minds who are the first to get puffed out and down. It's always the social minds who require constant reaffirmation. Great athletes like Kobe, Jordan require a mountain to move, a challenge.
This woman's ideas are kinda worthless.
Excellent.
phenomenal ted talk
On the one hand "I'm not sure I want to put my kids in sport"
On the other "I'm a competitor and I'm really up for the task"
So what you're saying is that you do not want to give your kids the same tools that you find vital to your success?
You rightfully point out the bad coaches that use degrading language to verbally abuse kids. This is something that needs to stop. But to condemn sports for a few bad coaches..... virtue signal by calling competitiveness toxic.
I suppose you think all men are rapists as well?
You do yourself an injustice by selling this anti sport rhetoric. You have some good ideas and we need to stop allowing bad coaches to be abusive. But that's pretty much it. After that there is only good that comes from being competitive, as you well know and champion so fiercely. So stop trying to tear down the institution.
Competition is not always positive.
In things like maths, science, medicine, it definitely is, in games like sports it isn't, unless we are speaking about professionals.
What most people don't understand is that teens should practice sport to have fun, not to win In a game, which in itself is useless unless, again, that gives a chance to go professional
Crazy Blaine and the sad thing is to get further in your career in volleyball in where I live you gotta work with those type of coaches.
Josh Primo
If you were 9, how could he have coached you for 10 years? 🙄
