Victoria Garrick Browne is supporting student-athletes struggling with their mental health through her non-profit, The Hidden Opponent.
Victoria Garrick Browne always wanted to play volleyball at the University of Southern California, and she did. “Anyone who has a dream, you just imagine the highlights of it,” Browne explains. But, she says, even if dreams come true, they can look different than envisioned.
“I think the intensity of the lifestyle was just not something I understood. And I don't think you really can understand it until you get there and you're living it," she says. The pressures of being a Division I walk-on – academically, socially, and athletically – began to add up and Browne began to struggle with anxiety. “I did kind of buy into that stigma of mental health being a weakness," she explains,"and I didn't want anyone to know that I was dealing with that.She finally sought help in her sophomore year, and things changed.
