Caroline Burckle Discusses Mental Health and Well-Being for Olympic Athletes

2008 Olympian and Olympic medalist Caroline Burckle sat down to discuss one of the biggest topics of the 2020 Olympic Games: mental health for athletes. This was brought to the forefront of the Games when Olympic gymnast Simone Biles withdrew from the team competition . Burckle emphasizes that when she was competing, it would have been helpful to merely have someone to talk to consistently about struggles she was going through in or out of the pool, and cherishes the times she did get to have those conversations. Burckle is no stranger to lending that listening ear, having started RISE Athletes with Co-Olympian Rebecca Soni , a business that provides young athletes with mentors who have been at the top of their sport and know the ups and downs that come with it.
