Description
In this episode of the Health, Hope and Happiness Podcast, we explore the powerful connection between leadership development and mental health in student-athletes. At Jackson High School in Stark County, Ohio, the softball program is taking a proactive approach—integrating weekly leadership sessions into their fall and winter conditioning routines.
Led by senior players, these peer-driven classes create space for mentorship, accountability, and personal growth. The result is more than just improved performance on the field—it’s a stronger sense of resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.
Tune in to hear how this unique approach is shaping student-athletes into leaders, equipping them with skills that extend far beyond the game and preparing them for lifelong success.
