Our hearts are with Damar

As a former athletic trainer, Katie understands that mental health for athletes is important for performance, injury healing, and retirement from their sport. Katie knows on and off the field mental health in athletics matters.

Athletes, coaches, support staff, families, fans, athletic trainers, we see you. It’s been a difficult week in the sports world since the traumatic injury of Damar Hamlin, and we want you to know that we are here for you.

It’s okay if you don’t want to pick up the cleats for a while, watch your favorite team play, or if you experience anxiety when returning to work on the sidelines.

It’s okay to be vulnerable with your feelings, because sometimes that can be the greatest step in healing.

We want to hold space for you when it feels heavy.

Sending comfort your way,

 Katie
