Dr. Megan Roche

Episode 9 of The Mental Game podcast features Dr. Megan Roche, who is a lot of things.

Roche not only is a medical doctor and PhD student in Epidemiology at Stanford University, but she is also a national-champion Trail Runner who was named the 2016 U.S. Trail Runner of the Year.

Roche recently co-authored a Stanford study that delved into the severe mental health impact COVID-19 has wreaked on athletes.

On the podcast, Roche analyzes the study and its impacts, previews how athletes can adjust post-COVID-19 and gives us some tips on how to navigate the pandemic (hint: wear a mask).
