Binghamton University athletes made a meaningful visit to Vestal Hills Elementary during the school's Mental Health Awareness Week. They welcomed members of the men’s basketball team, women’s basketball team, (along with their coach, Coach Grimes), and also members of the women’s softball team. The athletes taught the students ways to get their bodies and minds ready for challenges, demonstrating stretches they do before games, and multiple breathing techniques and visualization strategies. The best part was that all teams, independent of each other, had the same message to prepare for challenges - believe in yourself, positive self-talk, “you can do it!” and to encourage and lift up your teammates.
We thank the athletes for stopping by. It was such a great day!
