Behind The Jersey
Welcome to Behind The Jersey! We are here to show what goes on in sports beyond the game like, performance anxiety, burnout, pressure, and identity after sports.
Our Missions
People see the jersey, the stats, and the wins. What they do not see are the early mornings, the pressure to perform, the injuries, and the mental battles that come with being a collegiate athlete.
Behind The Jersey is a space to talk about the things athletes often keep to themselves. Athletes are more than their sport, and their mental health matters just as much as their performance.
“Athletes are human too. We have emotions, struggles, and mental battles just like everyone else.”
