Julie Kliegman presents MIND GAME, with Lindsay Gibbs at Flyleaf Books
Flyleaf Books 752 MLK Jr Blvd, Chapel Hill, NCA deep look into how even the best athletes struggle with and persevere through mental illness. In growing numbers, athletes are speaking up about their struggles with mental illness—including high-profile stars such as Michael Phelps, Kevin Love, Simone Biles, and Naomi Osaka. More disclosures are surely on the way, as athletes recognize that their openness can help others and inspire those around them. In Mind Game: An Inside Look at the Mental Health Playbook of Elite Athletes, Julie Kliegman offers insight into how elite athletes navigate mental performance and mental illness—and what non-athletes can learn from them. She explores the recent mental health movement in sports, the history and practice of sport psychology, the stereotypes and stigmas that lead athletes to keep their troubles to themselves, and the ways in which injury and retirement can throw wrenches in their mental states. Kliegman also examines the impacts of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use, and more, with a keen eye toward moving forward with acceptance, progress, and problem-solving. Featuring insightful interviews with Olympians Chloe Kim, McKayla Maroney, and Adam Rippon, NBA players Kevin Love and DeMar DeRozan, former U.S. Open tennis champ Bianca Andreescu, and many other athletes and experts, Mind Game breaks down the ongoing, heartening movement of athletes across sports coming forward to get the care they need and deserve—and to help others feel safe opening up about their struggles, as well. Julie Kliegman is a writer and editor in Queens, New York. They are the author of Mind Game: An Inside Look at the Mental Health Playbook of Elite Athletes. Their work has appeared in outlets including Sports Illustrated, The Washington Post, Bookforum, Slate, The Ringer, BuzzFeed News, Vulture, The Verge, and Washington Monthly. Kliegman's second book, Finding Renée, a biography of transgender tennis player Renée Richards, is […]
