Alone with her thoughts after an improbable top-of-the-podium performance at the 2020 Tokyo Games at just 17 years old, Lydia Jacoby found her footing once again at the University of Texas.
Working toward an accomplishment of such magnitude requires hyperfocus – a one-dimensional mindset that concentrates almost exclusively on the singular path leading to the top of the podium. Once there, then what? "People don't care what you do until you've done something," Jacoby said."And for me, that was definitely very visible."“I've had points where I am severely depressed and there will be weeks where I just don't want to live my life anymore,” she said. "I think I was just ready for something new," Jacoby said."I had really reached the pinnacle of sports, and I just was kind of lost on where to go next.
Many high-profile athletes have publicly announced their recent struggles with mental health, including four-time gold-medal winning Olympic gymnast Simone Biles., one of only two U.S. swimmers over the last two decades to win an individual Olympic gold medal at a younger age than Jacoby, went public with her mental health struggles after her early success.
