Amber Glenn’s Mental Fitness Routine

For Mental Health Awareness month, World Champion figure skater, Amber Glenn explains what mental health fitness is and why it’s important for young athletes. Amber shares her personal story of overcoming mental health challenges and offers tips like taking walks, listening to music, and breathing exercises.

World-class athletes join us in the #MentalHealthFitness campaign to acknowledge the importance of prioritizing mental health as well as physical wellbeing. In personal videos, they share how they’ve been able to face their own mental health challenges and offer pointers on how to combine fitness with core mental health skill building to maintain your #MentalHealthFitness.
