Thanks as always to the talented and brave athletes bringing mental health awareness to the forefront.

"Heyyyyy so I'm here to announce that I am retiring from skating.”

That is how Alysa Liu, in true Gen Z fashion, announced her retirement in a since-deleted Instagram post. The then 16-year-old had just finished fifth at the Beijing Olympics, and the sport was no longer fun.

Four years later, Liu has completed a comeback story for the ages, capped off by her Olympic gold medal win in the women’s singles event.

With it, she sent a message to skaters and viewers everywhere that mental health was a key part of her journey. It’s a watershed moment for a sport that in recent years has been plagued by issues with sexual assault, doping scandals and the epidemic of eating disorders among its athletes. bit.ly/4rWbPYg

Ten years on and still a great advocate for mental health. Thank you Michael Phelps!

A decade ago, Michael Phelps shared the story of his painful mental health journey with the world.

He has since traveled the globe as a beacon of advocacy and support for those whose struggles he understands all too well.
