A HI GHSCHOOL GRADUATE WAS A SOPHOMORE AT JAM MESADISON AND PLAYED A HUGE RO LEIN THE TEAM’S 2021 COLLEGE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP. SADLY, SHE WAS DEALING WITH SOMETHING NO ONE COULD SEE.IT ENDED WITH HER TAKING HER OWN LIF E.IN THE FEW WEEKS SINCE THIS HAPPENED, WE HAVE HEARD FROM A VARIETY OF ATHLETES AT LEVELS ABOUT DEALING WITH MENTAL HEALT NO BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT LEADS YOU TO A DARK PATH. THAT OUR PASTOR GOT TO GET OUT OF AND IT STILL TO THIS DAY IS VERY DIFFICULT. >> LAST YEAR WAS VERY HARD FOR ME. I WOULD GROW UP IN A BALL AND NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING AT L.AL NO BE E ONOF THE LASTING MESSAGES FROM THESE ATHLETES IS THAT THEY RELY ON OTHERS TO HELP THEM DEAL WITH HER MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
