THE MENTAL MATCHUP™ PODCAST: GUIDELINES

Before you submit your story here are our guidelines

Thank you for your interest in being a guest on our podcast. We acknowledge the strength required to share your individual experience. Your bravery challenges the stigma associated with mental health. You are leading a movement through Morgan’s Message™.

Our podcast will highlight authentic experiences to confront student-athlete mental health, connect the athletic community and provide a platform for healthcare advocacy. We will amplify your voice, helping student-athletes struggling with mental health to feel less alone.

Tell us your story by submitting a personal narrative describing an experience navigating the intersection of mental health and athletics. This can be an essay, anecdote, poem, song, speech, dialogue or any other written format through which you can most effectively convey your story on a podcast.

Format: All stories must be submitted in a written format. If you would like to share your story, please provide your contact information. Submissions should be between 1-10 minutes in length when read out loud, although longer/shorter stories will still be considered.

Confidentiality: Your information will be kept strictly confidential to our team. While your story may be shared anonymously on the podcast, we ask that you provide your contact information with your submission. This way, we can collaborate to represent your story in a way that feels true to you. No identifying information would ever be shared on the podcast without your prior consent.

Other clarifications: No formal mental health diagnosis is necessary for submissions. You do not have to be an active collegiate or high school athlete to submit. You can be an athlete or any member of an athlete’s support network.
