Atley Wiese is a racecar driver from Hayes, Virginia, and attends Liberty University’s Online Academy. Mental health advocacy is important to him because he has experienced first-hand how much mental health can impact an athlete’s confidence and consequently, their progress and performance. He believes that sharing mental health resources is critical for race car drivers. He says that although drivers sit solo behind the wheel, he wants to make sure they all know they are never truly alone.
“If you are an athlete interested in participating in the program, I would definitely recommend it! When it comes to your involvement, no accomplishment is too big or too small. Everything you do [in the program] furthers your understanding of your own mental health and that of others, which is all important to mental health advocacy and awareness.”
