QUOTE OF THE WEEK

WHAT’S THE GAME PLAN?
The Best Things You Can Do For Your Mental Health
(According to Athletes)

Our focus for the game plan this week is on self-care and mental health, influenced by Mental Health Awareness Month.

I put together video clips and quotes from athletes talking about important aspects to remember about mental health.

1. TALK ABOUT IT

I would tell my younger self just to make sure you communicate it, let it be known how you're feeling, and talk about things."
- LeBron James on the importance of communicating feelings

2. ALL FEELINGS ARE OKAY

"It's okay to be human... It's okay to be human like I don't have to be perfect for anyone here nor do I have to be perfect for the public."
- Kyrie Irving on remembering that it’s normal to have feelings and changes in mood

3.BE STILL

“I feel in my best moment right now because of meditation, not just in boxing, in life.”
- Canelo Alvarez on what mediation has done for him

“Meditation is like having an anchor.”
- Kobe Bryant on what meditation feels like

4. REMEMBER YOU’RE NOT ALONE

“Everybody's going through something, and everybody has things that you can't see, you can't touch, that they're walking around with every day. I think it helps them out more than anybody to not feel they're alone because they're not.”
-LeBron James

Here are more clips from athletes talking about the importance of to taking care of your mental health ⬇️

Giannis Antetokounmpo

DeMar DeRozan

Ja Morant

I’ll end the game plan with this quote I found,
“Give yourself permission to unplug and regroup without feeling guilty. You can't be there for others if you don't take care of yourself first."


Remember, 1% better every day, and small wins are WINS!
