🏀🧠 Athlete mental health continues to be a powerful theme throughout this year’s March Madness tournaments, and we’re proud to be part of the conversation. Our Chief Wellbeing Officer, @drmirhom, joined FOX5 DC’s #DMVZone to share why mental health deserves the same attention as physical health and what warning signs parents, coaches and teammates should be on the lookout for in athletes who might be struggling.

This summer, don’t just schedule workouts. Schedule teammates.
One of the best things you can do for your mental health isn’t another self-help book or productivity hack—it’s joining a recreational sports league.
As a Sports & Performance psychiatrist, I often remind patients that our brains are wired for movement, community, and shared purpose. A rec league combines all three.
Research consistently shows that regular physical activity reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression. But team sports add something even more powerful: belonging. They create accountability, social connection, laughter, and a sense of identity outside of work.
You don’t need to be the fastest, strongest, or most talented person on the field. You just need to show up.
Whether it’s pickleball, softball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, or a running club, your brain doesn’t care if you win the championship. It benefits from the movement, the relationships, and the routine.
Sometimes the healthiest decision you make this summer isn’t adding another meeting to your calendar—it’s joining a team.
Grateful to the @apapsychiatric American Psychiatric Association and Men’s Health @menshealthmag, & @gregorysbrownmd for highlighting this important message along with other great tools for the fellas! The more we normalize simple, evidence-based ways to protect our mental health, the more likely people are to take that first step.
Who are you joining this summer? Tag your future teammate below. ⚽🏀🎾🏐

In his famous 1997 Nike commercial, Michael Jordan said he had missed more than 9,000 shots, lost almost 300 games and missed the game-winning shot 26 times, that he had failed over and over again in his life, "and that is why I succeed."
The greatest player of his generation treated failure as information, and that is a skill I work on with athletes and executives alike, because the people who improve fastest are the ones who can look at a miss without turning it into a verdict on who they are.
What miss are you still carrying?

If you are struggling, or worried about someone who is, 988 is there 24 hours a day, seven days a week: you can call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org, and reach a trained crisis counselor anywhere in the US.
We have made real progress in making 988 as familiar as 911, and the next step is making sure every athlete, coach and parent knows it exists before they need it. Save it in your phone today, and share this with someone on your team.

So many high achievers live by the sentence "I'll be happy when," when I win the title, get the promotion, hit the number, and underneath it, in the shrink world, the real sentence is usually "then I'll be accepted, then I'll be good enough."
Flip it and everything changes: because I'm accepted, I get to give this everything I have. People worry that self-acceptance will make them soft, and in my experience the opposite is true, because effort that comes from security lasts longer than effort that comes from fear.
Which sentence are you living by?

College and professional athletes are carrying a level of pressure that did not exist a decade ago, from NIL deals to sports gambling, and many of them have now spoken publicly about what it costs them.
That is why every program needs access to a clinician who understands sport, someone who can help an athlete in crisis and also help a healthy athlete train the mind the same way they train the body. I recorded this for Student-Athlete Mental Health Week through my work with Athletes for Hope, and the message holds all year: you do not have to wait for a crisis to get support.

Neuroscience says your best friend can cut your stress.
In a study of 37 men facing a public-speaking stress test, support from their best friend beforehand helped blunt the rise in cortisol, the body's main stress hormone. The lowest levels came when that support was paired with oxytocin, the bonding hormone.
Many men are losing that buffer. In a 2021 national survey, 21% of men said a friend gave them emotional support in the past week, compared with 41% of women. Across all US adults, the share with no close friends rose from 3% in 1990 to 12% in 2021. And it matters for more than mood: across 148 studies, people with stronger social ties had 50% higher odds of survival.
Build your crew this week:
1. Text one friend you haven't seen in a while.
2. Book a recurring hangout on your calendar.
3. Do something together: gym, hoops, a long walk.
4. Share one real thing about how you're doing.

Arthur Brooks wrote his new book, The Meaning of Your Life, in response to what he calls the defining crisis for people under 35, and his argument is that the wave of depression and anxiety we are seeing is at its core a meaning crisis, driven in large part by phones that mediate our relationships and turn real life into a simulation.
The data on young adults are hard to ignore: in a Harvard Making Caring Common survey, 58% of 18 to 25 year olds said they had lacked meaning or purpose in the previous month. The left-brain, right-brain framing he uses is debated among neuroscientists, but the pattern he describes is one I recognize from my own clinical work, and the hopeful part of his book is that meaning can be rebuilt.

Money compounds, and so does behavior: the small choice you make tonight to learn something, train, call a friend or go to bed on time adds to the next one, until the gains stack in a way you could never see on day one.
Your brain is constantly looking for new paths, and repetition is how those paths get built.
What small choice are you going to let compound this month?

Mental health in sports is a team sport, and clinicians have to learn to translate what we know into the athlete's world, which is why the International Olympic Committee built athlete-specific tools like its Sport Mental Health Assessment Tool.
An elite athlete who usually functions at a 9.5 might drop to a 9 when they are depressed, which looks fine to everyone else and is a huge drop for them. If you only use general-population yardsticks, you will miss it.

Neuroscience says sleep loss revs up your amygdala, your brain's alarm center.
In a brain-imaging study, people who skipped a night of sleep showed a stronger amygdala response to upsetting images, and a weaker link to the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that helps keep emotions in check. Over time, poor sleep adds up: a review of 21 long-term studies found that people with insomnia had about twice the odds of developing depression.
The first treatment to try is CBT-I, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. The American College of Physicians recommends it first for adults with chronic insomnia. Sleep medication is a backup you decide on with your doctor.
Start tonight:
1. Get up at the same time every day, weekends too.
2. Use your bed only for sleep and sex.
3. Awake and frustrated? Get up. Return when sleepy.
4. Limit late caffeine. Skip alcohol near bedtime.
Trouble sleeping for months? Ask your doctor about CBT-I.
