Kiara Feibusch - Women's Lacrosse at Pitt and Overcoming the Battles of Depression

What an incredible opportunity we have today to hear from Division 1 Lacrosse Player, from the University of Pittsburgh, Kiara Feibusch.  We'll tap into the sports side of this conversation where Kiara helps us with understanding what the lacrosse world is truly like. We'll chat about club/travel team lacrosse compared to that of normal high school lacrosse. She'll give us all some advice on the recruiting process of lacrosse so we know what goes on behind the scenes and what other younger athletes should be doing in order to get in front of the coaches they want to play for. We'll get to hear of her favorite memories and advice on mastering the basics so you have a solid foundation of your sport.  Today's conversation is even more powerful because we will tap into the topic of mental health as it's a huge part of Kiara's story. I first was able to see her story on The Hidden Opponent where I learned of her silent struggle with depression and how she overcame that. Today on the show, she'll open up about that struggle so our audience can learn more about it. Our hope with this piece of the conversation, is for young athletes and even those around them such as parents, coaches, etc. can have an understanding of what to look for in those battling with their mental health, as well as what resources are availbale (or should be available) for them to overcome those battles.  You're absolutely going to love this interview!
