Apprenez à connaître les SportsPsychMDs

Les SPMD ont commencé comme une conversation entre deux passionnés de sport qui se trouvent justement être psychiatres. Avec l'idée commune que la participation aux sports peut jeter les bases du succès dans n'importe quelle avenue de la vie, nous cherchons à réduire la stigmatisation de la maladie mentale dans le sport. Ce faisant, nous espérons pour e mpower les athlètes du monde à utiliser leur forme mentale pour atteindre leurs meilleures performances sur et en dehors du terrain.
