Last Thursday evening, the Tiger Scholarship Fund’s MIZ-ZOOM Inside the Huddle event featured Dr. Scotta Morton, Assistant Athletic Director of Mental Performance & Psychological Services, and I must say, it was one of the best ones— if not the best one— I’ve attended thus far.
It’s been cool these last few months to hear from coaches and former players about how they’re handling the pandemic and updates about their teams, and I’ve loved writing about them, but there’s something about diving into the mental health and mental performance aspect while so much is going on in the world right now that makes this topic so very relevant to us all— not just student-athletes.
