“The Pressures of Being a Person: How Nutrition, Athletics and Mental Health Connect.”
Athletes are universally admired and upheld. At the same time, athletes are derided for both their moral and their athletics failures. This project attempts to present athletes as whole people through exploring the science of nutrition and its connection to the mental health needed both by athletes and others. Proper nutrition, causally connected to mental health, is essential for a full, competitive athletic career and life.
