In this episode of the Unit3d w/ Big Team at Indiana University podcast, 2nd year PhD student Nina Winsick sits down with friend and colleague, Kathryn Colby of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. The two discuss student-athlete experiences at the NCAA Division III level, contemporary issues in collegiate athletics, sport psych interventions, and misconceptions about mental health and mental performance. The conversation delves into the importance of support systems in coping with stress, how to help athletes break free from societal and sports-related stereotypes, and the pursuit of personal growth and risk-taking as emerging professionals in counseling, sport and performance psychology.
