Mental Health, Cricket & West Indian Pride: A Minisode with Jahzara Claxton

Mental health in sport matters. And in this powerful bonus minisode, we hear from someone who’s already reshaping both the game—and the conversation. Jahzara Claxton, the first-ever woman from St. Kitts and Nevis to join the West Indies Women’s Cricket team, opens up about balancing elite sport with self-care, community, and joy. We talk about her earliest memory of falling in love with sport, how cricket supports her mental wellbeing, what it feels like to carry the pride of a nation, and the grounding techniques she leans on during tough days. We also had some fun learning about her favourite music, island eats, and what she enjoys doing for fun as a Caribbean teen. This episode is for young athletes, parents, and anyone curious about what grace and grit look like in action.
