Book overview

Are you dissatisfied with your collegiate athlete experience? You grinded and sacrificed to achieve the dream of playing your sport at the collegiate level, only to find out that the dream wasn't what you envisioned it to be. Instead of flying high and enjoying the sport you love, you face mentally abusive coaches, unjust playtime, confidence issues, toxic team cultures, loss of passion, and tearful calls home to your parents.

 

Drawing on personal experience as a former collegiate and professional athlete, Ryan Alu challenges the status quo of mental health advice. In his book, through unconventional and controversial wisdom, Ryan offers a guide to adopting a new philosophy to fundamentally overcome the battle of collegiate athletics and mental health issues.

 

His guide covers a range of topics from changing your perception of yourself as an athlete to dealing with your emotions. With very raw takes on issues like the yips, out-of-line coaches, and burnout, Project Save Collegiate Athletes is a must-read for any student-athlete looking to take control of their mental health and save their collegiate experience.
