TAMPA, Fla. — Confetti. Cutting down the nets. March Madness glory.
All the rewards a college basketball player and her teammates dream of are within reach at the 2025 women's Final Four. So, on the biggest of stages, several of the game's biggest stars reflected on their mental health journey and how they handle the pressure of the moment.
Lauren Betts, a center for No. 1 overall seed UCLA, took time away from the team last season to seek mental health treatment, and she continues to be open and honest about her mental health journey.
“I just don't feel like I have to really hide this anymore,” Betts said on Thursday.
