We said what we said. 💥

May is Mental Health Awareness month, but here at The Hidden Opponent, we’re taking mental health action all year long.

The Hidden Opponent develops mental health leadership in student-athletes through education, advocacy, and support.

Awareness is an important first step. But mental health leadership goes deeper — it converts awareness into sustained, credible action.

Our approach combines education, peer support, media influence, and direct resources to provide student-athletes with the tangible tools needed to create change on their campuses.

This month, we invite you to go deeper than the social media messages — become a true mental health leader, take action, and make a difference in your community. 💚🤝

Mental Health + the NFL, we love to see it!! My non-profit @thehiddenopponent teamed up with the @rams as a partner for their mental-health awareness game and it was amazing! 💚🏈

We started with two powerful pre-game panels alongside 200+ advocates, and then watched the Rams win while @c.lamp3 repped THO on the field for “My Cause My Cleats.” It was truly surreal to see our organization highlighted on the field and big screen. Who could’ve predicted that our passionate group of former/current athletes who fought our own battles with anxiety & depression would be here - I’m so proud of our THO team & community!

Big thanks to our sponsor @adidas for their unwavering belief in our work, and to our Board Members and Clinical Advisory Team who came out to support! And thank you to the amazing @brookchouletmd who helped put all this together and is writing the stories that matter! 🫂

At the end of each school year, college communities often recognize student leadership in their own ceremonies. This spring, several of our Campus Captains and THO chapters received recognition for outstanding commitment to bettering their community. 👏

Amongst those honored were Endicott College, Lebanon Valley College, Roberts Wesleyan University, Brevard College, and Allegheny College.  A special shoutout to Campus Captain Maddie Manes, who was awarded the Award of Valor at Brandeis!

We are so proud of all of our Campus Captains and the amazing leadership they have shown all year long! Their work clearly makes an important impact in their communities. 💚

“I felt like I was fighting a battle I could never fully win and grieving the player I knew I could have been.”

Julian Bell was only 12 years old when she started to struggle with chronic shin splints and stress reactions — pain that would only worsen with time, and eventually force her to medically retire early from her role on the Clemson Lacrosse team.

The unending, extreme physical and mental pain that Julian experienced every day ultimately lead her to experiencing suicidal ideation and a desire to escape everything she was going through. She describes what felt like “living as a zombie” and “viewing her body from an aerial view,” without actually being present. These thoughts and feelings resulted in placement to a psychiatric facility, with the support of her sports psychologist and athletic trainer.

Two years later, Julian finds herself wanting to share her story as a reminder that letting people into your experience matters. What doctors have described as a one in a million experience once left Julian feeling isolated, but she now knows that people can connect with the vulnerability of her story.

We are so proud of Julian and thankful for her bravery. 💚 To read more about Julian’s journey, visit the 🔗 in our bio and head over to our blog.

11x Olympic gymnast Simone Biles sparked conversation about mental health at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics when she withdrew from multiple events after experiencing a mental block known as “the twisties.” Over five years later, she reflects on that moment and how it changed her life.

Biles says, “it got me the therapy I deserved, and I’m still currently in therapy… I look back at it as being courageous and not so much a weakness.”

Now a support figure for other Olympic athletes, like Ilia Malinin and Lindsey Vonn, Biles continues to speak about mental health challenges to normalize these conversations in sport.

We are ENOUGH and Together, we face The Hidden Opponent. 💚 The Hidden Opponent is proud to be one of the founding impact partners of @weareenough. Blake Mycoskie, a former D1 tennis player and the founder of TOMS, created ENOUGH to stand as a reminder that you don’t have to earn your worth.

This stands as an especially important message for student-athletes, who are often measured by their performance in sport.

This month, our Campus Captains across the country are receiving ENOUGH bracelets to represent this mission and continue to care for themselves and their peers. We’re continuing to develop the world’s next mental health leaders through education, advocacy, and our community of support.

Thank you to ENOUGH and @blakemycoskie for being a part of our team! 🤝

We are ENOUGH and Together, we face The Hidden Opponent. 💚 The Hidden Opponent is proud to be one of the founding impact partners of @weareenough. Blake Mycoskie, a former D1 tennis player and the founder of TOMS, created ENOUGH to stand as a reminder that you don’t have to earn your worth.

This stands as an especially important message for student-athletes, who are often measured by their performance in sport.

This month, our Campus Captains across the country are receiving ENOUGH bracelets to represent this mission and continue to care for themselves and their peers. We’re continuing to develop the world’s next mental health leaders through education, advocacy, and our community of support.

Thank you to ENOUGH and @blakemycoskie for being a part of our team! 🤝

T making sure her bud has the tools and the info😭👏

We love to hear these kinds of conversations between athletes! Therapy is so beneficial and often “needed” before you realize you “need” it. ❤️

The Hidden Opponent is proud to have partnered with @btwfoundation to share the #BeThereCertificate this school year, teaching over 300 student-athletes tools to support a peer with their mental health.✨ Here, Claire Hruby, a student-athlete mentor within The Hidden Opponent’s Campus Captains mental health leadership program, explains how lessons from the #BeThereCertificate have helped her create more caring environments for her mentees, friends, and family. 💚💛 Like Claire, other Campus Captains across the country are now prepared to Be There for teammates and classmates!
