Coach Kos’s created a space with her presentation that allowed the student-athletes to feel comfortable asking questions about mental health. Having a safe space for the student-athletes allowed for productive dialogue on a difficult subject. The biggest takeaways from the group were the information they received on what to look for in their teammates and how to incorporate joy into their daily life
