Mental health struggles

Saunders is appearing in her second Olympics. But after finishing fifth in Rio, Saunders began to struggle with depression and said she contemplated suicide. She told Olympics.com she struggled to find motivation to train. "It was just a lot of pressures," she said. "And also being quite young in my journey and seeing friends that were living the life that I wanted to have at that point, it just became a lot mentally weighing down on me."

Saunders has been open about her battles with mental health and urges anyone struggling to seek help as she did in her time of need.

Mental health tip: When you find yourself stressed & overwhelmed sit with yourself and give yourself compliments, recite the goals in life you want, reassure yourself with positive affirmations for a few minutes. It will help to remind you of the end goals of your struggles.
