Villanova Track Team Winning Streak Book Encourages Mental Health Awareness

Winning Streaks is proud to announce a new mental health awareness campaign - with sales of the Touching Greatness, Forever Together book helping to support student-athletes.

Mental health is a challenge that affects everyone, no matter who you are or what you do. When it comes to athletes, the stresses of competition and the pressures to perform at the highest level can take a significant toll on mental well-being.

Data from the American College of Sports Medicine shows that 35% of elite athletes have a mental health condition – ranging from burnout to depression. Winning Streaks is supporting the Villanova Track & Field program, and strives to enhance the experience for student athletes.

The Touching Greatness, Forever Together book was written by Jerry Bouma, a member of the Villanova track team that had an unbeaten 16-year winning streak.

By raising awareness of the different disorders experienced by athletes, the campaign aims to encourage more discussion and debate.
