All In With Natalie Allport

With the Olympics winding down, and given the topic of many of our interviews and conversations, it only seems fitting to discuss the topic on everyone's minds: mental health, athletes, and the Olympic Games. In this podcast we discuss Simone Biles, athlete mental health, the 'old' culture in sport, what's changing, and how we can change this for the next generation of athletes and human beings! If you are struggling, know that it is ok not to be ok, and to make decisions based off prioritizing your mental health. Shout out to Simone for setting that incredible example over the past 2 weeks.
