In this week’s episode of The Mental Matchup, Kat talks with Smita Nalluri. Smita ran track and field at Cornell University, while also handling a move from sunny California to upstate New York and balancing Ivy League academics. She opens up about her experience with depression and how important the power of connectivity can be. As a student-athlete, she dealt with injury and the difficult decisions surrounding switching a major. Smita teaches us the importance of not only listening to your body, but also your mind and highlighting the fact that you are never truly alone in your experiences or mental struggles.
