Duke Men’s Lacrosse student-athlete and ACE in Colorado 2022 alum Connor Drake recently sat down with UNCUT on Air podcast and shared his love of the outdoors and his passion for mental health advocacy. Connor reflects on “performance anxiety…journaling and meditation…how he views nature as a healer for depression, and why that one small gesture could mean so much to a friend or teammate struggling with their mental health.” He credits ACE in Colorado as a “refreshing” and “grounding” experience that allowed him to reconnect with nature in a tangible, physical way.
