From Here Forward

How UBC is prioritizing the mental wellbeing of its varsity athletes


Listen Later

It’s the start of a new academic year and UBC’s student athletes are back in action. It’s an exciting time, but for some it can be challenging to balance the pressures of being both a student and a high-performance athlete. In this episode, hosts Carol and Jeevan talk to Dr. Whitney Sedgwick, a licensed psychologist and mental performance/mental health lead for UBC Athletics, and Sam Pritchard, the senior manager of sport science and sport medicine at UBC Athletics, about the UBC Thunderbirds Mental Health Initiative, which supports student athletes so they can perform their best.
