On Wednesday, March 31, we hosted a panel addressing mental health in sports and the increase in teen athlete suicide associated with the pandemic. The panel, moderated by PCA’s Trennis Jones and Casey Miller, discussed the latest research findings on student-athlete mental health during COVID, specific tools, and resources to be a gatekeeper for your team or community, and insights from a current student-athlete and youth sports coach.
In this clip, Tim McGuine, Ph.D. ATC, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, talks about data being collected from across the country to show the impact of the pandemic on youth athletes.
