Lacey Henderson, a Paralympian and sport psychology professional, recently sat down with our Coaches & Professionals program to give us some insight on her athletics journey and how she got to where she is today. “After losing my leg to cancer at 9, the activities and sports I tried growing up changed as I didn’t know about adaptive sport or running prosthetics until I was an adult…. I didn’t find paralympic track and field until after undergrad, but as a graduate in the FIRST ‘worst recession of all time,’ sport came in as a viable career when there weren’t other opportunities for me as a young adult. The start aligned just on time!” Head over to our blog to read more about Lacey’s inspiring journey, and what brought her to be passionate about sports psychology and mental health in athletics💚 #TheHiddenOpponent #MentalHealth #Paralympics #LaceyHenderson #Athlete #Olympics #SportsPsychology
