Ep. 1: More Than an Athlete: Morgan’s Message at Cross (5m 23s)
Marlowe and Juliana talk about bringing Morgan’s Message to Wilbur Cross and why student-athlete mental health deserves more attention. They discuss the pressures athletes face, including injuries, schoolwork, competition, expectations, and the idea that athletes always have to be mentally tough.
The conversation also looks at how teammates can support one another, why speaking up is a sign of strength, and how Morgan’s Message hopes to create more awareness, connection, and support for athletes at Cross.
Morgan’s Message at Cross is a student-led series hosted by Marlowe and Juliana that brings attention to mental health in athletics and gives student-athletes a space to talk about the experiences people may not always see.
Through conversations about pressure, injuries, expectations, teamwork, support, and mental health, Marlowe and Juliana hope to encourage athletes to speak up, support one another, and remember that asking for help is a sign of strength.
