Dear Patient, This week, standing tall at 4’8”, Simone Biles showed the world what courage looks like. When the Olympian dropped out of competition, citing mental health reasons, she stood up for herself in a way that no athlete of her caliber, on the world stage, had ever done before. And she signaled to the rest of us that it’s okay to prioritize our own mental health. It matters more than setting world records or winning gold medals.
