In this inspiring episode of the AT Last Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Kensa Gunter, a trailblazer in sport psychology and the first Black president of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. Dr. Gunter shares her journey in breaking barriers, advocating for athlete mental health, and reshaping the way we think about “the helper” in sports and healthcare.

From the lack of diversity in sports medicine to the importance of representation for athletes, Dr. Gunter unpacks how the profession can evolve to better reflect the communities it serves. Listeners will hear about the challenges and opportunities in creating truly inclusive environments in both sports and mental health.

Whether you’re an athletic trainer, coach, healthcare provider, or athlete, this conversation will challenge you to rethink who gets to lead, who gets to help, and why representation matters not just on the field but in every corner of sports medicine.
