For many kids, the days of playing multiple sports have passed. The pressure to focus on and succeed in just one sport has grown significantly. This expectation has resulted in increased stress and burnout, which impacts the mental health of youth and college athletes. So, how do we keep sports fun while helping our children learn important life lessons like teamwork, discipline and mental resilience? Tune into the latest episode of “Just STARt the Conversation” as Jenn Getz, a former Division 1 and professional softball athlete and licensed Clinical Social Worker at St. Luke’s, joins our hosts and shares her insight on the importance of accountability and developing mental toughness to succeed in competitive situations.

St. Luke’s hospitals operate the largest network of trauma centers in Pennsylvania, with the Bethlehem Campus being home to St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital. Dedicated to advancing medical education, St. Luke’s is the preeminent teaching hospital in central-eastern Pennsylvania. In partnership with Temple University, the Network established the Lehigh Valley’s first and only four-year medical school campus. It also operates the nation’s longest continuously operating School of Nursing, established in 1884, and 45 fully accredited graduate medical educational programs with more than 400 residents and fellows. In 2022, St. Luke’s, a member of the Children’s Hospital Association, opened the Lehigh Valley’s first and only free-standing facility dedicated entirely to kids. SLUHN is the only Lehigh Valley-based health care system to earn Medicare’s five-star ratings (the highest) for quality, efficiency and patient satisfaction. It is both a Leapfrog Group and Healthgrades Top Hospital and a Newsweek World’s Best Hospital.
