  • Summary

  • USA athlete Jaleen Roberts speaks honestly, openly and emotionally about life with bipolar disorder as part of the latest episode of A Winning Mindset. 

    Roberts, a Team USA medallist at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, talks candidly about her journey with mental health and how the decision to check herself into a facility helped to understand herself better on her journey in life and in sport. 

    In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Jaleen provides a deep insight into what bipolar disorder is, the symptoms which led to her taking charge of her mindset and the misconceptions still apparent when it comes to mental health. 

    A Winning Mindset, an award-winning partnership between the International Paralympic Committee and Allianz, is a fascinating journey into the minds of Paralympians, who share experiences that can benefit your own personal and professional life.
