Episode Synopsis

Christina VandenBerg played soccer at Harvard University.  While there, she experienced the ups-and-downs of being a collegiate athlete, from performance struggles, identity searching to injury.  Since then she has continued to learn about the importance of sport psychology, as well as mental health support to the performance and overall wellness of athletes.  She has used her experiences as inspiration to create MyHuddle, an organization that seeks to facilitate access for student-athletes to sport psychology resources through virtual meetings and texting.  She hopes that her story and the work that she is doing will take another bite out of stigma and help athletes reach out and get support they deserve.
