Huffines Institute 316: Megan Williams on Psychological Health
An athlete's success can depend on many factors, and their training, recovery, and nutrition are often the first that come to mind. However, success frequently depends on more than these well-known objective measures. An athlete's psychological health can have an enormous influence on performance, as well as life beyond sport. This episode features Dr. Megan Williams, a faculty member in the School of Public Health at Texas A&M University. She was also a former collegiate volleyball player. Dr. Willams shares her experience finding identity after collegiate athletics and emphasizes the importance of psychological support for student-athletes. How team environments can enhance an individual's accountability and stress management skills are also discussed.
