What Elite Sport Doesn't Tell You About Mental Health | Daniela Rubio | TEDxCIS University

Elite athletes may look mentally strong while silently struggling with anxiety, burnout and the pressure to perform. This talk explores why mental health should be treated as seriously as physical training in sport. She is a student-athlete who competes at a national level, balancing academic focus with elite performance. Driven, disciplined, and relentlessly focused, she embodies the mindset of a champion, proving that success is built through consistency, grit, and showing up when it matters most. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
