Episode 176: The Impact of Organized Youth Sport on Mental Health

Brand new research from Hoffman et al., (2022) has provided valuable insight into the relationship between organized sports and the mental health of children and adolescents. Dr. Milt Lowder and Dr. Cory Shaffer use this research as the framework to discuss how being part of a team often positively impacts mental health and leads to lifelong well-being, and how participating solely in individual sports can come with the stress and pressure that can negatively impact mental well-being in children.
