On Episode 16 of Courtside Wellness, we are joined by Daniel Gordon. Daniel discusses his athletic career from all three perspectives from High School Basketball, playing OCAA and for Memorial University of Newfoundland, as well as playing professional for the PEI Island Storm and the Newfoundland Rogue. We discuss Athlete Identity, pressures and stressors of athletes and impacts these can have on an athletes mental health. We also talk about the Student Athlete Mental Health Initiative, SAMHI.  We also discuss how athletes can take care of their mental health and remember they are more than just an athlete!
