What IS Healthy Pressure? A New Campaign Wants To #MakeSportsFun
Footage shared a few weeks ago of a mum screaming at her kid from the edge of a running track got a lot of eyeballs.
The viral video certainly divided opinion and left many people asking, ‘what is healthy pressure for children in sports?’.
This year has been a landmark moment for the impact of mental health in sport. Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka are both high-profile athletes who pulled out of their respective sports, in front of a world stage, citing mental health concerns as the primary reason. Never before have athletes famously vocalized the pressure they face.
In light of the current conversation surrounding the pressure in the world of sports, Sun & Sand Sports, a leading sports retailer, has recognized this conversation and is trying to change the current narrative against unhealthy pressure in sports through their social initiative to #MakeSportsFun.
