It’s been very interesting to see Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka and Ben Stokes open up recently to talk about their mental health. Remember, it wasn’t too long ago when it would have been taboo for pro athletes to discuss their mental health. Withdrawing from games citing mental health as a reason would have shaken up society that was used to seeing athletes as the epitome of physical and mental prowess.
Is talking about mental health a sign of « mental weakness »? Is it a failure for the person if they choose to prioritise their mental health above everything else?
I present my perspective in this video. Please leave a comment, I’m very keen to hear your views too.
