In recent years, headlines about the untimely deaths of athletes have grown more frequent in the U.S.. Athletes are generally seen as the pinnacle of health, making their deaths even more unexpected. Dr. Sara Beaudry-Wiltse experienced this firsthand when she worked as a medical director on a team and, despite all of her training, found herself wholly unprepared for an athlete's death. She outlines three key ways that teams can prepare for these tragedies to move from grieving to healing more effectively. Sara Beaudry-Wiltse, Ph.D, ATC, has 20+ years of experience in collegiate athletics, including recruiting, team management, and sports medicine. With a Ph.D. in Mind-Body Medicine she has assisted thousands in coping with the impacts of teammate deaths, catastrophic injury, and the lingering challenges of loss. In athletics, business, and life, the impacts of wins and losses last beyond the events themselves; she believes our wellness practices should be just as enduring. Sara’s unique ability to combine the body's natural awareness with the mind's abilities to apply intellect and facilitated processes result in a profound methodology for lasting intentional change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
