Episode Synopsis

In this powerful episode, I sit down with a University of Tennessee track and field athlete, Myrèanna Bebe to discuss the mental health struggles athletes face both on and off the track. We dive deep into identity in sports, the challenges of grieving the loss of a loved one, and how athletes navigate mental health, pressure, and performance expectations. Our conversation sheds light on the emotional toll of balancing competition and personal struggles, the importance of seeking support, and how athletes can find strength through adversity. If you're an athlete, coach, or fan looking to understand the mental health journey in sports, this episode is for you!Subscribe to get the latest Coats in Conversation content: ⁠⁠⁠ / @kendriquecoatsListen to the Coats in Conversation podcast on Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Check out previous episodesElevating Athlete's Mental Health: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/episode/7ylCASBktvEZkKycjJrMSR?si=EYhuqidyQiaRwhc_H0PyAASurviving D1 Athletics: Transferring, Injuries, and Athlete Mental Healthhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/6la9xzxIPeSvDKq0yE8efs?si=2LevE8JNRx2-8zYCTziWnwAbout Kendrique Coats: ⁠⁠Kendrique Coats⁠⁠ is a certified life coach and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapy Associate in the state of Alabama and Illinois.
