Prematurely ended sports seasons, cancelled races, and a year-long Olympic delay are rocking athletes’ lives. When athlete identity can play such a strong role in how we see ourselves, suddenly losing the ability to play your sport can feel like a major loss. Dr. Julie Amato is a sports psychologist who works with college athletes, professional athletes, and former athletes, and she is here to help. As a former elite athlete herself, she understands the importance of sport in athletes’ lives, and the complex role it plays in our health. Dr. Julie has solid wisdom for athletes weathering any storm, and wants us to start talking, and have some more compassion for ourselves in hard times.
