Anxiety in Athletes Support Group: Unmasking Challenges, Embracing Unity

In the demanding world of sports, navigating pressures amplified by anxiety and OCD can often feel isolating. Athlete Rising, in collaboration with 'Struggle Into Strength', presents an exclusive monthly online meet-up – The Anxiety in Athletes Support Group.

This forum, tailored for young athletes aged 14 to 25, provides a platform to candidly share experiences, gain insights, and build a community rooted in understanding. Whether facing the tension of game-day nerves or the complexities of OCD within sports, attendees can expect genuine conversations and mutual support.

Event Highlights:

• Date & Time: Every 2nd Tuesday, starting October 10th, 2023, at 6:30 PM CT/ 7:30 PM ET.
• Platform: Engage seamlessly from your space via Zoom.
• Content: Apart from sharing, delve into curated educational materials shaped to resonate with the group.
• Cost: A nominal fee of $10 ensures a dedicated and earnest gathering (Payable via Venmo)

While the camaraderie in this group promises to be enriching, it's vital to remember that this space, though supportive, doesn't substitute therapeutic interventions. It’s about forging connections, fostering understanding, and collectively progressing in the athletic journey.
