A Must Watch for Every Sports Parent Regarding Mental Health

The Kansas City Royals, in collaboration with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City, have produced a compelling documentary that every youth sports parent, coach, and club organization needs to see. Titled "Not Good Enough," the documentary explores the mental health challenges facing young athletes today.

This documentary is a must-watch for anyone involved in youth sports. It shines a light on the immense pressure placed on young athletes and the mental health consequences that can follow. The film features candid conversations with athletes, parents, coaches, and mental health professionals.

Key takeaways for parents: the pressure to perform, earn scholarships, and achieve at younger ages is taking a real toll on young athletes' mental health. Creating a supportive, low-pressure environment at home is one of the most important things a parent can do.
