My name is Taylor Nicole Smith and I'm on the Women's Division 1 Lacrosse team at the University of Colorado Boulder. I founded the Life By Athletes platform to create a place where athletes can come together to relate to each other and talk about their mental health struggles as athletes. I want to destigmatize mental health in athletics and make every athlete feel not alone. I want to encourage athletes to speak up to get help. I want to inspire athletes to share their own story! Along with this theme, I also just want to have super raw and real and relatable conversations with other athletes about anything related to health and wellness to mindset and more!
