Mind and Muscle: Authenticity and Mental Wellness in Black Athletes

About this course

Authenticity in sports science is essential for Black athletes, especially when addressing mental health. It's important to understand and support the mental health needs of underrepresented communities in sports science. By acknowledging the unique challenges faced by Black athletes and implementing strategies to enhance their well-being and performance, we can effectively manage their personal and professional authenticity. This approach involves providing culturally competent training, integrating mental health care into athletic programs, and conducting research focused on underrepresented populations. By doing so, we can bridge the gap and ensure that Black athletes receive the support they need to thrive both on and off the field.
