FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU standout guard Hailey Van Lith said that while difficult, she is glad to have shared publicly about mental health struggles she said she dealt with early in her basketball career.
“It’s been very positive. I’ve received a lot of encouragement and also a lot of people, you know, sharing that they can relate or that I helped them feel understood,” Van Lith said Wednesday.
