Things are About to Get Deep

To continue with my article, I wanted to give the reader an understanding of how mental health outside of sports is crucial since many people struggle with it, even people that I know personally. I decided to do more research on mental health by first finding the general definition, the different types that exist, and the amount of people around the world that deal with mental health. The paragraph serves as the base to what I’ll be going into at a deeper level. I believe including this is important to enlighten the readers on the importance of mental health and how it correlates to my topic. I wanted to show an example of how social media can have a huge impact on people’s lives and I decided to use WNBA player Breanna Stewart's story. She had to deal with threats and homophobic emails that were being sent to her wife Marta Xargat during the WNBA finals. This was due to her missing one of the two free layups with 0.8 seconds left for the game, this caused her team to lose Game 2. ...

Intro

My name is Jonathan Romero, and I’m more than happy to show my project on exploring the importance of athletes' mental health and how social media can play a huge role in it. So enjoy as I demonstrate my thought process in this blog. What made me want to write my magazine about the effects of  social media in athletes' lives is how much I relate to them.

They are well known that they’re life is pretty much documented. I started looking at stories from famous athletes such as Gymnast Simeone Biles how they are heavily criticized simply because th...

More Than Just an Interview

Hey guys, today I interviewed Hialeah Miami Lakes coach Ochoa. We talked through a zoom meeting that lasted around 30 minutes. At first I was nervous but luckily I had some questions prepared so when I started the interview I was well prepared. In the interview we covered a lot in the topic, it is something that she has seen as a major issue in current athletes. I recorded the interview to highlight the most important parts of the interview into my article and documentary. “Athletes tend to find self evaluation through social media by checking the comments made about them. It tends to be a source of ego boost for them, but what happens when they realize people are criticizing them? Will they let people’s comments persuade them into performing better or worse?” said coach Ochoa. Having that interview helped not only me in my research but self reflect. People are always going to have something to say but they don’t understand what it is like to be an athlete. And we shouldn’t let those t...
