Recently, 150 middle and high school students from the Renton School District took a field trip to Lumen Field. But it was not your average school field trip.
While a highlight was getting autographs and taking selfies with local sports stars, they were invited there to get personal and talk about mental health .“We’re super committed to destigmatizing mental health ," Zakuani told the students. “If you’re seeking help with your mental wellbeing, we want to make that OK.
The students also heard from Seattle Reign FC General Manager Lesle Gallimore and others from the sports and health communities. Each shared personal experiences with either their own mental health or words of encouragement. “My path was very unorthodox,” Neagle said. “It was consistently getting knocked down, trying to prove myself again. And even through my pro career it was like that.”
“One of the most powerful things we can do for one another is to show up for each other,” Murthy said. “To look out for each other. It’s to be there just to even listen when somebody is having a hard time.”"Give yourself grace," Neagle added. “We’re all human. We’re all going to make mistakes. We’re all trying to find our way.”
