About this episode
This week, we talk with Dr. Matt Powless about pressure, performance, and men’s mental health in college. We break down what sports psychology really is, why mental health struggles often get overlooked in high-achieving students and athletes, and how the pressure to always “handle it” can quietly add up. No tough-it-out mentality — just honest conversation about doing well without burning out. Takeaway: Caring for your mental health doesn’t hold you back — it helps you keep going. Strong performance starts with support, not silence.
