What makes a great coach? In this episode of "Let's Talk About It," I sit down with Coach Ben Wilkins from Seton Hill to discuss the critical role coaches play in supporting student-athlete mental health. We dive into the pressures athletes face today, the importance of genuine communication, and how focusing on mental health can actually enhance accountability and performance. Coach Wilkins shares his insights on creating a safe and supportive environment for athletes, emphasizing that caring for mental well-being doesn't mean lowering standards—it means understanding and uplifting the person behind the player. #mentalhealth #studentathletementalhealth #setonhill #studentathleteadvocacy #collegesports #studentathlete #letsalkaboutit #nil #recruiting #coaching #coaches #mensbasketball #zonepartner #playingtime
