This episode of Beyond the Stick explores mental health in athletes, including the challenges of injuries and recovery. Francesca Argentieri, a member of the 2024 U20 Women’s World Championship team and campus captain for the Hidden Opponent at Northwestern, joins Dr. Chelsey E. Bowman, PhD, sports psychologist at Children’s National Hospital and member of USA Lacrosse’s Health and Safety Committee, for an honest conversation about supporting mental well-being on and off the field.

They discuss the “whole athlete” approach—how mental health is interconnected with physical recovery, how athletes can strengthen their mental well-being like they do their bodies, and the importance of coaches, trainers, and parents emphasizing mental health as a strength. Bowman also highlights checking in on an athlete’s mental recovery alongside their physical recovery and recognizing warning signs in teammates.

Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of mental health in sports, the value of leaning on teammates, and the importance of normalizing open conversations about well-being.
