Grit: Helpful or Harmful?

*Warning: The episode discusses sensitive topics such as suicide* On today’s episode, we are joined by Hannah Conner to discuss the topic of grit in high performers. Hannah is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, mental performance & recovery coach, guest lecturer, group facilitator, & creative. Her professional experience includes working in community-based substance misuse treatment, in private practice settings with clients experiencing a wide range of mental health conditions, as well as a part of The United States Olympic & Paralympic Mental Health Registry that provides mental health support and collaborative care to athletes preparing for and competing in the games. Tune in to hear: What is grit in sport?  How is grit and mental toughness helpful? How is grit and mental toughness discussed when an athlete transitions out of athletics? How is mental toughness and grit harmful to someone's mental health? Overall training practices that should be restructured to provide athletes with more mental flexibility and sustainability for the long term.
