Dr. Kris Eiring is the former director of clinical and sport psychology for the University of Wisconsin Badgers. She helped to implement mental health and performance psychology services for Wisconsin’s athletes.
And she speaks from experience because she is also a former University of Wisconsin track star, having been a part of four Big Ten outdoor conference championship teams and broke two Badger indoor records.
She is now living her dream supporting athletes (and others) with their mental health needs, and not just in sports.
In this episode of the Courtside Culture Podcast, Kris talks about:
-The connection between the players mental health and team culture.
-Whether coaches should come to understand that mental training or psychology is now as much a part of sports as layup drills or getting in the cage?
-Off the court or off the field exercises coaches can do with their teams to not only improve everyone’s mental health, but improve team culture at the same time
-And she is our first guest ever to combine "What's The Coolest?" and "First Things Last" because the coolest meet she ever ran is wear she got her first pair of track spikes... and it's one of the most famous basketball players of all time who gave them to her.
