About this listen

In episode 7, I speak with Lenecia Nickell, Director of the University of Cincinnati Sports Psychology and Wellness Department. This is the 3rd installment of our 3 part series for Mental Health Awareness Month and a follow-up to episode 4. Lenecia shares her background as a mental health practitioner with experience helping people with their fitness goals as well. She talks about how she was able to marry those passions to land the role she is in now and build her department from the ground up. Lenecia provides many actionable tips for student-athletes and coaches to open communication about mental health and performance mindset. In addition to leading her department, she is a PhD candidate and teaches classes for mentalhealthfirstaid.org. You can find her on LinkedIN if you want to connect.
