The smiles, the cheers and the wins are often obvious when athletes are on the field. However, the pressure, the expectations and the disappointments are often less obvious when they’re off the court. Hiding these experiences and feelings can affect your mental health and well-being.

That’s why Athletes for Feel Out Loud — featuring Andre De Grasse, Kia Nurse, William Nylander, Penny Oleksiak, Kelly Olynyk, Marissa Papaconstantinou, and more — are sharing their stories and cheering on Kids Help Phone’s historic movement. Together, we can help keep mental health in the game.


Watch to learn about how Andre De Grasse navigates the impact of injuries on an athlete’s mental health.
