This was great!!! I’ve been working on my physical self yet I know it starts from within.
I love this Karen! Such an important topic for women And men!
I freakin love getting together with Glenn. Don’t forget to download his Ebook (link in description). Your physical body matters and Glenn gets this for his clients without the self loathing along the way. Such a rad dude! Should I get Glenn in for more Mark Asks?? If so…what should I ask him?? Post your questions for him below!
I run cross country and track in college. I’m a freshman and I’ve been mentally good so far this year, thankfully. I see people around me not doing so well and I always reach out and check on them. It’s tough having to get up at 5am 6 days out of the week, run, lift, etc. and then get to class. Not mention the mental toll living away from home can have on people. I’m glad she’s bringing light to this area of athletics that a lot of people, and athletes themselves, don’t even realize is there. Not to mention the nonsense they make athletes do which doesn’t actually help their academic performance. My school forces athletes (freshman no matter what, and anyone else with a gpa less than 2.5) to get 4hrs of study hall every week. I know how to study and I never get anything done there. I do it on my own and the fact that I’m forced to do it irritates me.
Im a special Olympics athlete who deals with mental health problems so I have a dual diagnosis I was 5 when I was diagnosed with a developmental disability but I wasnt diagnosed with any mental health problems until I was already 24 most people would just brush my issues off as just the disability or just ADHD or something no one really thought that trauma or mental health was a possibility no one except myself and at 24 I went and seeked out help because I knew I had alot of trauma and I knew I had alot of mental health problems but even though mental health and trauma is more likely to happen to us people with disabilitys people still don’t look at the possibility of us people who are intellectual disabled they just see us as autistic or disabled or hyperactive or something and sometimes being in special Olympics just makes us have even worse self esteem because we often know that it’s easier than the normal stuff and we often get a lot of sense of insecurity and often feel like we just can’t do normal independent things there’s alot of stigma about mental health problems like that
Im a freshman in highschool and I feel this so much. I never have time to hang out with friends or do my assignments that are due because I practically breathe track and cross country and it’s like there is never room to do anything else
great interview, i have my own whole foods., plant based, no salt, oil, flour, alcohol, sugar and caffeine story after i found chef AJ,20 1/2 months ago. I have healed a whole list of health ailments., chronic fatigue gone, fibro pain 24/7 gone, stomach and bowel probs that i had since birth gone, and extra the bonus is 77 lbs lost started at 238,, cane lost, pain lost. 5 meds out of 6 gone, depression and pre diabeties gone,still on low thyroid meds..b/P of a 45 yr old woman..But, in defense of his grand mother, all of our grand mothers, mothers, me til finding chef AJ, when i learned “the truth” about food. processed foods and animal products., we didn’t know back then!! We have been brain washed for years, about needing dairy and meat, etc… yes, no moderation!! i am now 67 1/2 yrs young now. I was addicted to alcohol for 20 yrs, cigs for 20 yrs, i WAS addicted to pizza, frozen yogurt/ice cream, party mix, cheese etc., but now IF, i do crave anything now, my taste buds neuro adapted so when not truly hungry, i am addicted to veg and fruit!! addicted to my own home made whole plants soup/stews, starch based, learned from chef AJ and Dr John MacDougall. My life is totally different, hubby is delighted, he was doing most everything, while i was nearly bed bound, struggling to get 2-300 steps a day, now 7000+ at once,work in wood pile,splitting 4 cord and piling few cord, in couple months,yes confident, taking up for myself.i am lucky,hubby has sweets and chips,nuts, i/c, etc here & i am not tempted, i have quite a bit loose skin,have to keep it too,size 3x down to 14 petite.so freeing. I eat the same,everything thrown in,no dressings.scoop of my home made soup mixed in, xo
I just watched this video and realized it’s Victoria! Wow she did a great job with this ted talk and I’ve always been inspired by her as a volleyball player now I respect and idolize her even more!
Dear Jeanne, this guy tells a story I think you would like to hear. His name is Benjamin Hardy. You only need to listen a few minutes from 13 minutes and 56 seconds through about 15 minutes and 30 seconds. Of course the whole thing is great but as one addicted to sugar this few minutes is freedom for me. It has really helped. I’m still trying it out but it is provoking. Thank you for everything you do. And teaching! That’s amazing.

I’m a larger woman with a very good body image. I’ve recently begun a healthy eating program. Most people think I’ve done it to lose weight. Not so. I did it to hopefully get off some medication I’m on that I don’t like, to move better and have more energy. Even with my size and age (68) I have no lack of lovers or men to date. I dress casually but well and wear minimal makeup.
does this mean that “normal” students don’t feel overwhelmed?
I am a rower and I relate to this so much. I am so glad I am not alone in this.
I think I will always have body issues. However, I feel so much more confident and have a much higher self value when I workout daily.
I play Middle school and I go to a choice school that does 1 1/2 of a year into 2 semesters. I stayed up all night doing my homework. Now I am one of best player in 6 th grade
I think that 1 in 4 statistic is probably even too low. It’s based on data from people who have been identified as having a mental illness. Many people will never be diagnosed, especially if their symptoms are mild or if they are unwilling to admit that something is wrong (due to stigma, etc)
This issue that is being addressed here is pretty simple. I arrived here because of my love for volleyball. However, here is a little tip that all young people should listen to. “It is alright to just be normal” You don’t have to be on the most prestigious sports teams. You don’t have to be the 95% student. You don’t have to do what all your peers or parents expect you to do. This may sound like a cop out but contrary to popular belief the biggest, strongest, and smartest don’t always win. If you are not having any fun in your life then “stop”. Evaluate what you are doing and ask yourself if you need to put this much pressure on yourself. Does it really matter? Life is competitive and to be “great” at something you must sacrifice. However, if you have no hope in being great (and let’s face it most will never achieve this status) then be happy being YOU. Period! More than ever stop steamrolling your life. Anything you do can and will be rewarding if you enjoy it. If you don’t and only feel the pressure of having to win or overachieve then your life is likely to be miserable for a long time. Enough will never be enough. The one talent this young lady has is one that she may not even care about that much in her drive to be an overachiever. She is a “good” public speaker. That is where she should focus her talent instead of chasing dreams. Psychiatrists are quick to put a label on someone who runs themselves into the ground (all self-induced) where exhaustion is the final outcome. Simply, find what you are good at. Not great but good. Then pursue it. In time you will love it because you will experience success which builds confidence and influence naturally. If you have to have the trophy girl/boyfriend. Be at the top of the class. Host the best parties and be the next great thing. You will never be happy. Attitude is everything. Cheers!
Very very inspiring!! “You can’t hate yourself into a toy poodle” is definitely going to become a personal mantra

As a swimmer, waking up at 4:30 am, having double session, and with school…it’s really killing me
I can’t thank you enough for your speech. My niece was a D1 athlete with a full scholarship. Senior year year she had enough and quit. Thank God her parents were understanding and put her through her senior year. It’s now five years later and she suffers from self worth issues.
Mindfulness is just amazing,it helps me A LOT with my eating disorder. Love it. Thanks for talking about it
thank you for making this video because this is exactly how I feel. I play golf and it is the best and worst thing in my life. I have had some great memories playing this sport but it has made me break down and have panic attacks too many times. I am afraid of failure and golf is a game of making the least mistakes so that is inevitable. It is hard for me to be positive when I think about an upcoming tournament. I wish I had the confidence to believe in my abilities as a talented athlete but I don’t think that will ever happen. Someday I hope I can overcome this overwhelming anxiety over this sport because I truly love the game.
Hello everyone! It is very pity I don’t understand English especially when native speaker says. This topic is too interesting for me and I want to know what she tells. As I understand there are some problems with mental health in athletes. Am I right? What does she recommend to avoid the problem? Explain me, please. I will thankful for the help.
I’m not an athlete but I can say this, I am extremely stressed from school. I have depression and anxiety if I get a good grade, or completed my assignments. I’m only in 6th grade, but sometimes I just wonder if I die my pain can end. Sometimes I tell myself, “the best thing you can do is hide your pain”. So that’s what I did, I hid it from everyone around me. No one knew that I had anxiety or depression because I didn’t even have anyone to talk to. School gives me projects on top of projects and so many assignments over that. No one is realizing the stress that is caused from school. I find this video relatable.
I had no idea you had a ted talk, that’s crazy. I’m here from her channel. thank you for speaking on this! I’ve felt this way before and it sucks, especially when you try to disregard it and when you don’t tell anyone abt it like I did.
Really interesting interview with Glen, Mark! Yes, it’s all about body positivity. Good work guys!
My insecurity has been “gain weight or love my body”. I was called “flat chested”, “cliff” and “paper person” in the whole 7 years in secondary school. With the “body positive” wave these years, girls like me are branding “not-real women” or “unhealthy”… This adds so much to my insecurities. I always fear if my man would leave me because I have almost not fat in my boobs or no cushion on my butt. I eat lots but just don’t gain weight. I really wish media would leave skinny people alone…
I am a libero for my club team and we have struggled with mental health. Thank you for bringing attention to this subject. I’m sharing this video with my team.
i’m a d1 student athlete with a similar schedule but i don’t let it get to me, that’s weakness
EVERYBODY PLEASE READ
JESUS LOVES YOU ✝️❤️
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, SMART, and WORTHY
Although before this video my goal was to be a student athlete, now I am a little scared, and although it is still something I want to do, it’s something that needs to change. Please, share this message with anyone who can help future student athletes, such as Victoria Garrick, so student athletes never have to feel this kind of pain ever again.
And remember, if you need help, don’t stay quiet

The depression part was so me last year and I went to therapy and hated my therapist but this helped me bc now I’m on top of my school work and have straight As bc I’m trying so hard to get my work done and practice every 5 minutes for a break of passing bc that’s my worst position for right now even though I’m a good passer I constantly want to get better bc I’m going against everyone on my team for a spot on the court and I practice all the time but I still barely play
I really liked your comparison with mental illness to concussions.
12:31 Success without fulfillment and happiness is the ultimate failure.
i play highschool football, and i feel everything that she is saying
This was so helpful! I’m gonna check out his stuff! Thanks for interviewing him
This hit me hard. There are days where i wake up and didnt have the energy to even get up the bed. I just finished my Collegiate Athletic Career and I feel like i’m lost right now. Everything i used to do that included sport, i dont get to do them now. I’m so lost. Help me.
I’m a freshman in high school running cross country and just clicking on this video gave me anxiety because this is how I feel all the time. I always doubt myself and constantly try to push while balancing honor classes, social life, and everything expected out of me from my parents. It is one of the hardest thing ever to be a student athlete. Sometimes I just want a break but then I tell myself that im not working hard of enough or that I dont deserve it and that ill never get anywhere.:(
Sameee currently have a torn ligament in my ankle going into my senior year this sport all I got, I’m a be out for a while I feel like I lost everything
Man I love sports but sometimes it sucks too recently I suffered a meniscus and ACL tear in my left knee while playing badminton.I had a ACL reconstruction and partial meniscectomy done on my knee.I was back to playing badminton after a year and did a lot of trekking also.But now after 6 years arthiritic changes have occurred in both my knees.I am only 26 now.
Trader Joe’s unsweetened soy milk is very good and cheaper and we use lots. A couple of hints… if hummus is hard to find, it is easy to make a dip out of canned white beans mashed with some roasted red pepper and spices added. The fire-roasted red peppers are in jars at Walmart and are inexpensive. Another hint… is to steam cauliflower in a little extra water and when done, add enough soy milk to make the broth white, then thicken with arrowroot or tapioca flour and reheat slightly if needed…instant sauce or gravy. You can add dried chives or dill for a really great dish. I also add precooked chopped baked potatoes. You can do the same with peas to make a really filling dish. Yummmmm.
You should learn a lot from Unflexal if you’d like to know how to training good and be more wholesome.
What a great interview. I too had gastric bypass done years ago, 15 or so. I can eat full meals now and totally relate to the addiction of the food, can’t eat just one.
i don’t think i’ve ever seen something more relatable than this video
I have suffered with depression, panic attacks, and anxiety since 8th grade, and I am now going into my Junior year in high school. I played volleyball for my school in all those three years, I also ran track and cross country, and did marathons on the side at home. I was always a “perfect” student, I never struggled with schoolwork it all just came naturally to me, it was like I was so good in everything my sports and school that all the teachers would talk about me on how “perfect” I was. I also volunteered because I knew it was good for college, my teachers started preparing for me for college since 2nd grade they all saw the potential in me and just pushed. Everything was going as planned I had the biggest support team, my family, friends, teachers, even my principal from elementary was supporting me throughout all the years. It was until 8th grade, I got the stomach flu and couldn’t go to school for weeks cause I couldn’t stop throwing up. As soon as I got back to school of course there was so much work to do, I missed MANY assignments, tests, projects, and in general class time, that I was so overwhelmed after the first day back. That night I cried myself to sleep, the next morning I didn’t want to go to school I would cry and fight with my parents, this lasted for weeks it was consistent, for the next month I separated myself from my family, friends, and school I never went back. This is when my counselor contacted my parents and said that they would recommend me seeing a therapist. And so I did, I knew I needed help, I couldn’t leave the house every time I would leave or step out I would have a panic attack. Just driving by the school I would have a major panic attack, I would always worry that a teacher or classmate would see me and ask me what’s wrong. I was finally diagnosed and it was a breath of fresh air for me cause I’m like maybe this can be treated maybe I don’t have to feel this way anymore. But nope my parents are old school there is no such thing as mental illness. Up until now every morning I am in a fight with either/both of my parents TRYING to get them to see what I’m going through is real and that with what they are doing to me is not making it any better. Of course since I didn’t attend school I was kicked off all the teams, my gpa’s went down. To pass 8th and 9th grade I had to go through credit recovery just to barely pass and move on to the next grade. The sad part is I lost everything, sports was everything to me, school was everything to me and I lost it all to mental illness. My life revolved around school and I loved it, I just loved it and it all was taken from me and I couldn’t fight it.I didn’t’t have anything worth fighting for, my dream of becoming a valedictorian was crushed, playing on my schools varsity volleyball team crushed. And my parents had the nerve to tell me I am causing it all, acting like I am doing all of this on purpose. And because they don’t think what I’m going through is real they strongly refuse me going on medications and they think it is funny when they joke about it. There was a post in my life where I would think “if I ran in front of that car all my problems would go away I wouldn’t have to feel all this pain, I wouldn’t have to cry anymore, I would’t have to do anything. Luckily I was able to get out of that stage but its still rough it has gotten quite better from 2 years ago but I’m still working on it. If only they could change the school system, many students would not be suffering, mental illness is at an all time high, and it’s because of social media, but most importantly school. When our parents were in school they went came back home and played there was not a lot of homework that they had to stay up until 2-3 in the morning to finish. They didn’t have to worry about keeping up with their image on social media and in school. They didn’t have to worry about college until they got to junior or senior year. Nowadays they’re stating them in elementary, way too young in my opinion cause when they grow up they will be walking balls of stress and depression. Kids nowadays are stripped from childhood and are matured way too early. I know this is long but it’s like it’s so hard to talk about it with my family that it’s so much easier to express my feelings/story to people who don’t know me.
All sports is deadly and socially dangerous propaganda and it can divide people and families.
Such an important topic. Sharing with all my Facebook sisters!
This must’ve been in July…I love your side by side each other at 10:30. So healthful & thriving looking & July 4th festive!!!
Great interview. Chuck is such a likable guy. Thank you, Jeanne!
Hi Jean, great interview. I love your channel, you are super intelligent but approachable at the same time. I would have loved you as a teacher or professor during my school years. I have an unrelated question to this topic, it’s a science question. I NEED to know this from a scientist. Is colloid silver a toxic heavy metal, is it dangerous?? There is so much confusing information and I want to know from a plant based healthy scientist who is smart and honest. I use it my deodorant and toothpaste.
Please, please advise.
Thank you
Totally agree. Sometimes it just feels too much on the body And brain and you just can’t preform but you have to push through because you want playing time. I’ve never REALLY took in what she said into consideration till now. I honestly understand
This was me when I was prepping for comp, juggling university classes and working in the evening. I ended up dropping out from brick and mortar university:/
Great contribution. For your team, for society and mankind. Excellent theme, research, and presentation. Well done Ms. Garrick.
I am disappointed in your radio segment that is full of so many commercials and advocacy for allopathic treatments and medicines, sometimes, over holistic and preventative CAM modalities.
I was so afread to play and make mistakes… I can so relate
I love Chuck Caroll! I follow him on Twitter, listen to his podcasts, watch his videos… Thank you for the great interview Jeanne!
Great video! Many points that resonated strong in my mind! The one nacho philosophy is so true for me.
This is the best video I have ever seen and you explain it so well!! Thank you
The whole system is sick in some ways. Student-athletes lose their love for sport while the media celebrates the stars (who may also be depressed). The expression “mental health disorder” has a certain stigmatizing, clinical feel to it even as it exposes the issue, shared by so many. Maybe the “disorder” is society’s.
Thank you. Just what I needed to listen to. I like the idea of looking after myself rather than focusing on weight loss and loving who I am.
I played year round sports from 2 to 17 years old football for 9 years and once i got to high school the fun wasn’t their no more. I started smoking weed and popping pills because i needed an escape from organized sports now i have many injuries from playing for all those years. I stopped the drugs but i would advise any kid trying to play sports to just select at the least two sports not year round.
This was a fabulous video do more like this. I have spent years beating myself up for not being perfect and it has caused me so much unhappiness! Acceptance and love and no more diets! Thanks u are the best at advice for us ladies thanks
As a swimmer u do 7-9 practices a week each lasting 2-3 hours in high school. A lot of age group swimmers experience the depression in sport while they are in high school before even going to university. It’s sad how sports can be so negative to many individuals.
I can totally relate to everything said in this video, you are the best Mark:)and wow Australian men are attractive:D
thank you sos so much from my athlete heart. Everybody should see this.
Me: watching this after working out for an hour and before volleyball practice in an hour
I can’t stop watching this video this is amazing and it’s so true
This is utterly brilliant and invaluable, it is such an overlooked area, I am absolutely going to try and Victoria Garrick on my podcast. Well done Victoria!
i’m definitely feeling this rn. i’m in my junior year and currently in club volleyball. thankfully the practices are not as frequent or demanding than school volleyball. but i think my depression if caused by the combination of: playing club volleyball, having a back injury that isn’t going away, coaching middle school volleyball, being in all honors/AP classes, being in multiple clubs, and trying to manage all the colleges i’m emailing and deciding if i want to take an offer from a d2 school. i’ve had several thoughts of just ending it all. just to be surprised at myself saying “what’s wrong with me? why would i think that?” and sobbing for hours. it’s so hard to talk about depression because it seems to always reflect bad on the person with it. like they could have done something to prevent it. when in reality everyone is different and sometimes people get depression from seemingly no reason at all. like she said: we need to end the stigma because the constant judgement of mental illness only worsens the issue.
Imagine being talented and good at volleyball, a true icon
This was so powerful. Brought me to tears. Lot of respect
I am a freshman in high school. I am a swimmer, I started varsity this year and am on a USA team where I have three hour practices after my one and 1/2 hour practice for high school. I’m in honors/ap classes with a learning disability, I have model un and band. I’ve also been battling an eating disorder and stress anxiety disorders and no one knows. I don’t get home until 9:30 or 10 at night where I have to start my homework and study to keep myself on the highest honor roll or I will not be able to look myself in the mirror. I’m spiraling and I’m all alone
This is so accurate. I’m a volleyball player and this is how I feel almost 24/7
this is the best ted talk i have heard in a while. love you Victoria!!!!
It’s the life you choose to be a student athlete. Sports are to forget school and personal life. Play good. If you feel how bad she described at first it may not be the life for you
This was my life for many years except i had no friends, didnt attend any parties and my sports career was filled with injuries:(
Loved this video Karen! It definitely is a hot topic after the holidays love the idea of letting go of your what you think about your shape and size and shifting our mindset to strategies that can hep us feel more positive and neutral about our body.
I’m so happy that someone finally talk about this topic so nicely im from Pakistan and I’m also a volleyball player. I have been suffering from this too. This gives a courage and strength to talk about it. Thank you so much!!
West Soy is great and I use it but Trader Joe’s unsweetened soy beverage is water and soybean also but only 1.79$
when you are 30 years, you get the liberating feeling that it is impossible to improve at anything, and that the only thing to do is to sit back and just relax for the rest of your life. There is no reason to strive for anything, other than earning money to provide yourself, and family members.
I saw a sign in a locker room at a wrestling tournament that read “Nobody cares; work harder.” And though I saw the good intention in that, I thought it was a dangerous message as well.
People act like body positive means “I’m happy to have an obese body because if I’m happy, that means I’m healthy” and it’s a load of malarkey. Happiness with yourself is always great, but just because you’re happy, doesn’t mean that you don’t have things to change when it comes to your health, especially if you’re morbidly obese/obese.
In fact, if you’re happy and huge, you’ll be miles ahead of people even if they lose a hundred pounds cause your mind will match your body, health-wise and that’s amazing!
This is absolutely pathetic. If you don’t want to be an athlete, don’t take it on. She is obviously psychologically unsuited to being an athlete, and is using this to try to drag everyone down to her level. I was an NCAA swimmer for 4 years, the training was gruelling, and it was the best time of my life.
One of the best episodes I’ve listened to. Total life changing. Thank you so much.
