EP #85- On Identity, Individuality, and Other Mental Health Challenges as a Professional Athlete with Tyra Gittens, Olympic Long Jump Finalist
This week I sat down with Tyra Gittens, Olympian representing Trinidad and Tobago, on how to stay true to yourself when in a competitive and demanding sport, and other mental health challenges that come with being a professional athlete. With great recognition as an Olympian comes great challenges, and in this episode, Tyra chats about her experience feeling burnt out by athletics, what she does now to take care of her mental health, and the importance of taking the time to form an identity outside of your sport when competing at an elite level.
