@jc_playmakerWNY Where would the assistance begin for athletes that are dealing with these issues?

I had a sports psychologist in this past week and had an excellent chat with her about the mental health of our athletes. Full episode comes out Monday morning!

@OhioState @OSULiFESports Is it vital for coaches to get involved with their athletes to avoid the pressure and mental health issues?

Coaching goes beyond the game, and the @OSULiFEsports program helps support young athletes' mental health and leadership skills. 🏃‍♀️🙌 go.osu.edu/C4EP

who.int/europe/news/it… is an interesting website that addresses the double burden of tobacco use and mental health. #Em203problems

This infographic is from the Chicago Tribune. It dives in to burden of smoking among people living with mental illness. #EM203problems

A key solution to deforestation is promoting sustainability everywhere that is possible. #EM203Robin

This image is correlated to the health aspect of sports. Mental health is something that is often brushed over when discussing the health of athletes #EM203Robert

olympics.com/ioc/gender-equ… is an interesting website that delves into the issues of gender inequalities in professional sports.

Six-time Pro-Bowl WR Davante Adams is signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams, per source. Adams arrives at a time the Rams are preparing to move on from standout WR Cooper Kupp.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC35… provides a study on the lack of mental health support for athletes who play at an elite level and how these individuals are impacted psychologically. Great article that provides insight into this phenomenon #EM203Research.

Hey! I see that a major issue in professional sports is the lack of mental health support for athletes. Overtraining and burnout are common, yet mental well-being is often overlooked. How can sports organizations do better? @ECarabettaEM203 #EM203problems

@EM203rsaltzman An issue I brought up in my mind map was long term physical damage to the body after retirement. There have been a plethora of professional athletes who have had health issues post retirement.

@EM203JBanks An issue I uncovered in my mind map is the level of potential for brain injuries within professional contact sports. We've seen a number of professional athletes develop severe brain injuries, and regularly see players lash out.

@EM203DJuarez a problem that I identified on my mind map was the over paying of professional athletes in certain sports. For example, the immense inflation within the NBA market where players like Ben Simmons are getting payed $40 million a year.

@EM203JBanks This class has been incredibly engaging and has enabled me to learn effectively and successfully at my own pace. Great post, Johnny.

The first 3 weeks of EM203 have been very engaging and interesting. The classes discussion posts allow me to obtain different perspectives of ideas in which may differ from mine. This is exemplified in week 2's discussion on the learning theory of connectivism. #EM203Robin

@EM203AAikins Cognitivism is certainly an important learning objective. Great work, Andrew.

The first few weeks of EM203 have been very insightful for me as someone who is interested in what this course has to offer. I liked learning about cognitivism last week, as it was a new topic for me. I am looking forward to continuing my learning in this course. #EM203Robin

@EM203Tsmith Good point, Trevor. My knowledge is definitely expanding thanks to this course.

My first few lessons through the EM203 laurier course have been very good in expanding my knowledge in the app and exploring online resources effectively, #EM203Robin We’ll keep up the good work amazing course !

@EM203rsaltzman I agree. This course has been great thus far, and I also particularly enjoyed learning about learning theories. Looking forward to the future of this course.

The first few weeks of this course have been a nice change of direction for me. I've never been in a learning space like this one. Learning about cognitivism taught me a new way of understanding information, and will be looking forward to the remainder of the course. #EM203Robin

@EM203DJuarez I agree. After being taught the learning theories I have been able to adapt and understand the true nature of learning.

The first 3 weeks of #EM203Robin have been very insightful. We have learned about several learning theories and digital technology. Multi-modal learning has been effective for me, but I wasn’t aware of the name or specifics. Hopefully I can take this knowledge into other courses.

I've really enjoyed my first few weeks #EM203Robin's course. I've gained insight into the world of education and also was able to learn a new skill. I look forward to the future weeks of this class, and learning more... about learning.
