    Why Athlete Mental Health Matters, with Lindsey "Niner" Nyenhuis

    Why Athlete Mental Health Matters, with Lindsey "Niner" Nyenhuis

    You won't find her name in the NCAA record books, nor has she donned a USA jersey to play in the Olympics.
    But, those competitions pale in comparison to the battle that former Iowa Women's Basketball athlete, Lindsey "Niner" Nyenhuis fought and won.
    Student-athletes face physical stress, practice and game commitments, strict schedules, and the expectations of coaches, faculty, family, and friends. These pressures can affect relationships, sport performance, academics, work, and life. What most don't realize is that suicide is the third-leading cause of death for NCAA student-athletes.
    Add in undiagnosed ADHD and you have a recipe with potential long-term deadly effects.
    In her first time sharing her story in public, Lindsey reveals the silent struggle she went through for years and how her tough athletic mindset pushed her through some of her darkest moments, until it became too much to handle.
    If you are an athlete, coach, or parent of an athlete please listen to Niner's message and learn how you can detect the silent calls for help in someone you love.
