"What makes Thrive different is that they actually get what it means to be a student athlete. My therapist didn’t just throw advice at me, but instead she helped me understand my own stress responses and taught me tools I still use every day. I’ve recommended it to a bunch of my teammates. It’s the best support system I didn’t know I needed."
