Olympian, US Women's National Soccer Player Julie Ertz to Speak at Adelphi about Self-Care and Mental Health
Garden City, NY (10/21/2021) — Have you ever wondered how an Olympic athlete fuels their mind and body? On Monday, November 8, Julie Ertz, Olympian and U.S. Women's National Soccer Team player, will speak at Adelphi University about the importance of mental health and self-care for athletes. The online event will begin at 7 p.m.
During such an unprecedented time, with athletes around the world speaking up about their mental health, Ertz, a two-time World Champion soccer player who currently plays for the USWNT and the Chicago Red Stars, will share ways in which she finds the solace to refresh and restart when things get hard. Together with her husband, NFL player Zach Ertz, a tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles, they have started a foundation that centers on transforming lives.
The Ertz Family Foundation, launched in 2018, provides opportunities for youth to learn the value of exercise, nutrition, leadership, work ethic, accountability and teamwork.
The conversation will be moderated by Marissa Abram, PhD, assistant professor at Adelphi's College of Nursing and Public Health and is part of a new series at Adelphi, Mental Health Matters.
The event is free, but registration is required. Register at adelphi.edu/mentalhealthmatters
