NAOMI GIRMA

"NDUR is a community that I wish I could've been a part of while I was a student-athlete. I have always found the most comfort in talking to athletes who have been through or are currently going through the same challenges as me. NDUR streamlines this process by connecting athletes through community and shared experiences."

JAKE ROZHANSKY

"When I had to deal with a personal issue that was overwhelming and impacted my performance on the field, the Revolution supported me with access to a therapist. It took weeks to arrange and wasn't effective. I found relief through group therapy, just like the NDUR community is doing, but with NDUR it's right in my back pocket, 24/7."

SAMMY JO TRACY

"Being a woman playing at an elite level both in college and professionally has unique challenges and obstacles. Knowing I'm not alone and having a safe and anonymous place to share my experiences is such a great outlet. Especially being able to share how you are feeling openly and authentically without being judged."

SIERRA ENGE

"In losing my best friend, teammate, and co-captain to suicide, I learned about the power of connecting and talking with others who have gone through similar experiences and challenges. The NDUR app allows me to connect with peers from other schools, and I built a supportive connection that felt different from therapy."

ELLIS MCKINNIE

"As a young man just 18 years old, coming into a Big 10 football program brought along with it a number of mental health challenges. Including losing a teammate to heat stroke my junior year. Myself and the team struggled with the loss, and NDUR is just what we needed at the time to help manage and overcome these challenges and feelings of isolation."

JESSICA WAGNER

"The ability to connect anonymously with my peers is the most important thing to me about the NDUR app. I feel comfortable opening up about my issues and listening to other athletes who are experiencing the same things as me. The community aspect of NDUR is exactly what we need to help overcome the pressures of performing both on and off the field."

ALICIA WILDE

"It would have been great to have an app like NDUR during my college years to seek support from other student athletes who faced similar challenges on and off the court. Mental health should be more of a priority for college kids. "
