Dr. Katie Peterson on Mental Health in Sports and the Unique Pressure Females Face
About this episode
Dr. Katie Peterson discusses mental health in sports and the unique pressures faced by female athletes.
This week on Rinkside Rundown, I sit down with Dr. Katie Peterson, a licensed sports psychologist at Achieve Performance Psychology and two-time NCAA champion, as we discuss the mental side of sports and its impact on performance, growth and development. Dr. Katie Peterson shares her own journey through hockey, including championship success, as well as what inspired her to swap the locker room for the doctor’s office when her playing days came to an end. Join us for a really interesting conversation where you’ll also learn practical tools for managing stress in your own life, and just how important confidence can be for success.
