In this episode we interview Enna Selmanovic a Toronto native and current NYC resident (we also have the pleasure of her being our roommate!) Enna attended the University of Cincinnati and was a member of the varsity swim team. She majored in Biological Sciences with a minor in Psychology. Enna was on her way towards qualifying for Olympic trials, but in 2016 she injured her back leading to a medical disqualification later on. In the episode we discuss the emotional toll of losing the ability to participate in her sport and subsequently the loss of her identity. The conversation goes deep into the stigmas around mental health in the athletic world, what resources we feel should be available to student athletes and the work that Enna does now to advocate for mental health issues. --- Go follow Enna on instagram @ennerz Follow us @the.real.dietitians.of.nyc --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
