Move Over Medicine

24,601 males age 12 to 22 took our sports poll last week – 28% think Kansas City will win the super bowl, 32% don’t have Larry Bird in their top 20 all time – which is ridiculous, but what do the youth know anyway? Actually, maybe a lot more than we give them credit for. 57% have had or would consider using mental health therapy to help them “juggle stress, including the ups and downs of sports pressures”- nearly 1 in 4 who’ve had a therapy session say their friends know and, not surprisingly, for the 21% who say they have had at least one session with a therapist, the number 1 best advice they got and used was, drum roll, “low stress exercise therapy.” Think kick ball or pickup volleyball.
