Panel 3
Redefining Health
“Does it take more than physical health to win?”
Duration: 45 minutes
In sports and physical activity, “winning” is often narrowly portrayed as the result of optimum physical health and ability. However, research shows that strong integrated health is essential to overall well-being and success.
Panelists will have the opportunity to share their stories of how success in sports and physical activity were affected by their physical, mental, and social-emotional fortitude, while providing game-changing solutions for a supporting an integrated approach to health in organized activity.
