On this episode of the Do Epic Shit Today Podcast I share about the potential burnout of playing a Division 1 collegiate sport and mental health in athletes. Within this podcast I list helpful recruiting tips, surviving your four year collegiate experience and the importance of asking for help when you need it. With the baffling statistic that over one in every three athletes struggle with some form of mental health; this is a topic that needs to be addressed more often and freely.
