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.

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.

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!

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

She's my professor this semester, and she is amazing. I brag about her to all my friends lol

Sports and competition can be great and healthy and fun. But when you make it all about the win it easily becomes toxic.

Mental health is an important topic. It shouldn't be ignored. Sadness is frequently disguised with a smile.

I got depressed in college as a D1 athlete as well my GPA nosedived.

Dr. C!! I finally found it.

i was a judo athlete and my isntructor did nothing about teasing and bullying in endured. sprots became my nightmare.

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.

Excellent.

Sports needs sportsmanship. I probably would have liked sports if my family hadn't been sports jerks.

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.

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.

@@ST-cy6we so they reached a deal and we.,ll never know what it was about, right

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.

Ask Jordan about winning. Beats losing EVERY time...

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.
