Fitness Corner: It will be OK in the end – My Edmonds News

Friday, July 4, 2025
The day my husband Dan died, I was visited in his hospital room by one of the palliative care doctors that had been assigned to us after it became apparent that no more could be done to prolong his life.
During our conversation, she told me something which resonated so much that I wrote it down on the back of a business card:
It will be OK in the end. If it’s not OK it’s not the end.
As you know if you’ve read this column over the years, it was not OK for a very long time. Even now, there are moments when it’s not OK. It will never be the end of losing Dan, no matter how much of my equilibrium I have regained and how happy I am.
But overall, it’s been mostly OK for quite a while now. One of the reasons is my grief counselor, Carol.
Eleven years and three months after I encountered her, I am saying goodbye. No, not because of anything terrible, thank goodness! (Although I do have a friend who told me her therapist died suddenly. This was years ago, and I’m still shocked by it, I can’t even imagine how traumatizing that would be.)
Carol is alive and well and as of June, very much retired.
I’m sure she’s thrilled, and I’m thrilled for her! But I’ve been sad too, since I emailed her to find out her exact last day and got the “I am retired” auto-reply response. It threw me for an unexpected loop, even knowing long in advance that she was retiring.
I feel like I didn’t get to send one final email thanking her for everything and making sure she knew again (I have told her many times previously) how her support has meant so much. That felt important to me, but my email didn’t arrive in time. Life got in the way, again, sigh.
I was surprised at the depth and finality of loss I felt, but I know enough after all this practice of grieving, to simply go with it. I may have cried a little. I may have had that shell-shocked feeling the next day. I may have felt hollow for the next week or two. Carol’s retirement marks an end to one of the significant eras of my life.
She has been a witness to my story of Dan’s and my life together, and the extent of our love for and devotion to each other. She has seen me through the worst thing that has ever happened to me. She truly understood exactly why, even though life is good and it’s been years, I still sometimes find myself randomly ugly-crying from missing Dan. She left me feeling hopeful, lifted and comforted every single time we talked, her gentle, calm voice always imparting exactly the perfect wisdom I needed to hear right then and there.
Carol is one of those special ones you encounter in life when you least expect it and most need it. Knowing someone like that is there for you is absolutely everything, even if you don’t talk to them more than once or twice a year as time goes by.
I grabbed onto her words like I was drowning and reaching for a life preserver, supportive and validating things that I scribbled as we chatted such as:
It takes a long time to fully grieve.
My core is the same, I’m just using different parts.
Dan and I had something rare and unique.
Grief brings a connection to Dan that I no longer have with him physically. Later on, it will be more uplifting.
Part of my work is to love my life and find joy (that is actually grief work). Not an “either/or” but both at the same time. Learning to reconcile incredible joy with incredible sorrow.
In grief, other people fail us.
Dan gave me great gifts; it’s a gift to him to accept them.
The worst times are the secret anniversaries of the heart (when only the person you’ve lost can understand why your pain cuts particularly deep in that moment/on that day/when you hear that song or see that photo, and so on).
Moving forward not moving on is the goal.
Bereavement = to be robbed.
Carol was right about all of it and so much more.
If we had one last conversation it would go something like this (reconstructed from actual things she said):
She’d say, “I’m so lucky to have been able to see you take grief on and stare it down to its rightful size.”
She’d say, “Keep writing. People really need to know someone made it through.”
She’d say, “You’ve worked hard in body, mind and spirit. You have a beautiful spirit and a strong core.”
She’d say, “You’ve survived. You’ve thrived. You’ve made it through the worst.”
And I would say to her, “Carol, like you told me once — this is another growth opportunity I could’ve done without!” Then we’d laugh.
I wish everyone suffering the loss of a loved one had a grief counselor like her. I am certain there are many more Carols out there — if you need support and haven’t found the right person, keep looking. And if you already have your Carol, be sure to send that email before she retires!
What a gift to the world that Carol chose to go into grief counseling and to those of us that by luck and circumstance were privileged to be supported by her.
And that quote? “It will be OK in the end.” It must be true.
It’s the end. And I’m very much OK.

Lesser-known alumni influence film, entertainment industries – The Daily Texan

Lesser-known alumni influence film, entertainment industries – The Daily Texan

Notable Longhorns hit portal after 2025 season closure
Former Texas big man Arthur Kaluma signs with Los Angeles Lakers as undrafted free agent
LGBTQ+ community, advocates speak out against bill that defines gender in Texas
Multiple people arrested in LA solidarity protest against ongoing immigration enforcement
Texas becomes 29th state to require personal financial literacy class for high schoolers
Ask any UT student to name the filmmakers who came out of UT, and you’ll get a pretty dependable list of answers. Wes Anderson, Robert Rodriguez and — of course — Matthew McConaughey are well-known around campus for their movies, but they’re not the only Longhorns who’ve done interesting or important work in the film industry. Here’s The Daily Texan’s list of alumni filmmakers who
deserve more attention.
Noël Wells
A native of San Antonio, Wells is a 2010 Plan II and radio-television-film graduate.  After college, she worked on and starred in a variety of projects, including videos for Funny or Die and CollegeHumor, as well as a feature called “Forev,” which a group of her friends and peers from UT created.
In 2013, Wells made the jump to prime time television as a cast member during the 39th season of “Saturday Night Live.” A year later, she joined the cast of Aziz Ansari’s “Master of None,” where she received critical praise for her turn as Rachel, the primary love interest in the show’s first season.
Last year at SXSW, Wells made her directorial debut with “Mr. Roosevelt,” a film she also wrote and starred in. Shot on 16mm film and set primarily in Austin, “Mr. Roosevelt” was warmly received by critics as a showcase for Wells’ unique sense of humor.
Tsui Hark
Hark’s been called the Steven Spielberg of Asia for his work in the last few decades and is responsible for boosting the careers of talented stars and filmmakers, like Jet Li and John Woo, through his work on and off-camera. His films “Once Upon a Time in China,” “The Butterfly Murders” and “Peking Opera Blues,” to name a few, are considered classics among many fans of Hong Kong cinema.
Having directed and produced more than fifty movies since graduating from UT in 1975, Hark may be the most prolific of UT’s filmmaking alumni. Working predominantly out of Hong Kong, Hark has worked on everything from blockbuster special effects bonanzas to low-budget social and political commentaries. He pioneered New-Wave Hong Kong Cinema in the early 1990s.
Robert Schenkkan
Writer Robert Schenkkan graduated from UT in 1975 and has since gone on to win a Pulitzer Prize, a Tony Award and recognition from the Writers’ Guild of America, as well as a slew of other awards for his work.
Schenkkan’s career consists mostly of on and off-Broadway theater productions, but his departures from the stage to the screen are just as notable. He co-produced and wrote episodes of HBO’s “The Pacific” and penned the script for “The Quiet American,” and worked on a number of other television shows and films throughout the last two decades. Most notably, though, Schenkkan was one of two writers behind Mel Gibson’s Oscar-nominated film, “Hacksaw Ridge.”
Following the film’s release, Amazon Studios billed Schenkkan to write “K Troop,” a film about the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the 19th century.
Tobe Hooper
An important figure in American horror cinema, Hooper was an radio-television-film student at UT during the early 1960s while the program was still in its infancy. For a few years after college, he worked as a documentary filmmaker, before cobbling together $40,000 to make his first feature, “Eggshells.” The film went relatively unnoticed, but Hooper’s second picture, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” took audiences by surprise with its grittiness.
Texas Chainsaw redefined horror movies, and sent Hooper’s career into motion. He went on to direct a number of well-loved horror flicks, including “Salem’s Lot,” “Poltergeist” and “Lifeforce.” The likes of John Carpenter, James Gunn and Eli Roth all claim Hooper as a major influence on their work.

Correlation Between Post-Injury Mental Health Symptoms and Rehabilitation Adherence in Collegiate Athletes
ABSTRACT
Purpose: To explore the correlation between post-injury mental health symptoms and rehabilitation adherence in collegiate athletes to gain knowledge that would improve rehabilitative recommendations. Methods: 19 National Collegiate Athletic Association athletes (M age: 20.58 ± 1.31) were assessed for depressive and anxious symptoms using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) after injury. Once they were cleared for full sports participation, they were administered the HADS again and the Rehabilitation Adherence Questionnaire (RAQ) to measure their perceptions of adherence to their rehabilitation programs. Results: A significant correlation was found between the two administrations of the HADS  (R = .55, P = .03), but no significant correlations were found between RAQ scores and any of the HADS scores. Conclusions: Although the findings of this study did not establish a significant correlation between post-injury depression and anxiety symptoms and self-perceptions of rehabilitation adherence, strong evidence still exists to believe that poor mental health may be associated with poor rehabilitation adherence. Applications in Sport: Members of the collegiate athlete care team should be aware that the common underreporting of mental health symptoms in this population might make it difficult to establish the relationship between these symptoms and their recovery process after an injury. A holistic recovery approach should be considered in any injury recovery processes to allow collegiate athletes to heal both physically and psychologically.
Keywords: depression, anxiety, injury, recovery
Abbreviations: NCAA, National Collegiate Athletic Association; HADS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; RAQ, Rehabilitation Adherence Questionnaire


Introduction
Depression and anxiety remain as the leading mental health conditions among collegiate athletes, with as many as 30% and 50% of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes reporting depression and anxiety, respectively, in a 2011 survey from the National College Health Association (NCAA, 2024).  More recently, the American College of Sports Medicine (2024), in their 2021 statement on mental health challenges for athletes, found that the prevalence for depression and/or anxiety in this population ranges between 25% to 35% and only 10% of collegiate athletes with a known mental health condition seek help from a mental health professional. The reasons for this prevalence are multi-faceted given that collegiate athletes often maintain a strong athletic identity that is reluctant to ask for help and are faced with the societal perception of athletes always having to be immensely resilient during all hardships (Chang et al., 2020; Sarac et al., 2018; Tomalski et al., 2019; Wayment et al., 2017; Weigard et al., 2012; Wolanin et al., 2016). Collegiate athletes balance academic demands with their time-intensive and stress-inducing athletic demands while encountering issues relevant to sexuality, gender, hazing, bullying, sexual misconduct, body image, and sport transition (Greenleaf et al., 2009; Petrie et al., 2008; Putukian, 2016). The notion that athletes may be at a decreased risk for mental health conditions due to increased levels of exercise and other personality traits that can aid in athletic success has been shown to be a misconception (Chang et al., 2020).Furthermore, collegiate athletes are exposed to an abundance of additional unique risk factors for depression and anxiety when compared to non-athlete collegiate student counterparts (Demirel, 2016; Ghaedi et al., 2014; Hagiwara et al., 2017; Hanton et al., 2013; McGuire et al., 2017).
Unfortunately, sports injury is an often unavoidable element of collegiate athletics participation, with approximately 40% to 50% of collegiate athletes sustaining at least 1 injury requiring either medical attention or a participation restriction during their careers (Yang et al., 2014b).  Injuries such as ligamentous sprains, muscular strains, skeletal fractures, joint dislocations, and concussions are relatively common (Yang et al., 2014a). Sports injuries further aggrandize the preexisting symptoms of depression and anxiety present in collegiate athletes due to the fact that a sports injury may serve as potentially one of the most physically and emotionally disturbing events that a collegiate athlete may experience during their career.  Injured collegiate athletes experience enhanced risk factors of depression and anxiety such as fear of reinjury, trouble sleeping, poor concentration, emotional numbness, and injury conversation avoidance (Li et al., 2017; Padaki et al., 2018).  They utilize the coping mechanisms of unrealistic wishful thinking, unhealthy venting of emotions, denial, and behavior disengagement (Wadey et al., 2014). Additively, social stressors and financial stressors have also been shown to substantially grow post-injury in collegiate athletes (Evans et al., 2012).  Despite these complications, however, collegiate athletes are often still expected to adhere to sports rehabilitation exercise programs for a full recovery and timely return-to-sport.
Sports rehabilitation exercise programs are only effective for collegiate athletes when they are closely adhering to the instructions provided to them by their rehabilitative healthcare provider (Torres et al., 2023a).  Poor rehabilitation adherence may prolong recovery, enhance reinjury risk, and reduce the likelihood of positive patient outcomes upon return-to-sport (Jack et al., 2010). The salient post-injury symptoms of depression and anxiety play a role in reducing rehabilitation adherence and hindering injury recovery in collegiate athletes (Baez et al., 2023; Torres et al., 2023b).  However, given that as many as 98.3% of injured collegiate athletes have been reported to either overadhere and underadhere to their rehabilitation programs, more contemporary evidence is needed to further understand this extent of this role (Granquist et al., 2014). Despite the recent progress in collegiate athlete mental health screening that has been made, rehabilitative healthcare providers of injured collegiate athletes may not yet be collectively appropriately aware of the symptoms of depression and anxiety in rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to explore the correlation between post-injury depression and anxiety and rehabilitation adherence in collegiate athletes in an effort to gain knowledge that would improve recommendations for sports rehabilitation programs.
Methods
Sampling
The sampling in this study was limited to two collegiate institutions of varying NCAA competition levels (NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III) within the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Demographic information on age, sex, NCAA competition level, race/ethnicity, academic eligibility level, type of sport, and type of musculoskeletal injury was collected from all participants. Participants were recruited by their athletic trainers after a sports injury had occurred and were included based on being 18 years of age or older and sustaining an acute musculoskeletal sports injury that required the inability to engage in full sports participation for at least four weeks. The purpose of this four week requirement was to ensure that the injuries sustained were significant enough to require a rehabilitation program for at least a month (Shin et al., 2010). Collegiate athletes were excluded if they had a concussion, respiratory disease, metabolic disease, cardiac disease, autonomic nervous system disease, or chronic injury of an unknown origin.
Instrumentation
Zigmond and Snaith (1983)  designed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) as a 14-item questionnaire to measure the symptoms of depression and anxiety. The HADS consists of two subscales that are constructed of seven items for symptoms of depression (HADS-D) and seven items for symptoms of anxiety (HADS-A). Each item contains responses that are individually scored on a scale from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating a higher level of symptom frequency (i.e., not at all, sometimes, occasionally very often, nearly all the time, etc.). The combined score of emotional distress (sum of HADS-A and HADS-D) ranges from 0 to 42 with scores of 11 or higher indicating a potential for a clinically significant mood disorder case. The total score of each participant places them into one of the following categories: non-case/normal (0 – 7), borderline case/borderline abnormal (8-10), case/abnormal (11 – 21+). Correlations ranging from .76 to .41 for the seven anxiety items (P < .01) and from .60 to .30 for the seven depression items (P < .02) have been associated with this instrument (Zigmond & Snaith, 1983).  Similarly, calculated Spearman correlations between subscale scores and confirmed psychiatric ratings have shown that R = .70 for HADS-D and R = .74 for HADS-A (P < .001). The HADS has been routinely established as an instrument that performs well in assessing the symptom severity and caseness of depression and anxiety in both psychiatric and primary care patients and the general population (including collegiate athletes) (Bjelland et al., 2002).
RAQ
Fisher et al. (1988) designed the Rehabilitation Adherence Questionnaire (RAQ) as a 40-item questionnaire to measure rehabilitation adherence, while Shin et al. (2010) later redeveloped the RAQ into a 25-item questionnaire and validated it for injured athletes. The RAQ consists of six subscales: support from significant others (five items), pain tolerance (five items), scheduling (four items), self-motivation (five items), perceived exertion (three items), and environmental conditions (three items), and participants using the RAQ rate their level of agreement to each item using a four-point scale (i.e., 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = agree, 4 = strongly agree). The responses to each statement are then summed for a total adherence score that can range from 25 – 100. Higher total adherence scores indicate that participants perceive themselves successfully adhering to and completing their rehabilitation programs as prescribed by their rehabilitative healthcare provider. Moderate to high intra-class correlation coefficients for the each of the six subscales (support from significant others = .81, pain tolerance = .64, scheduling = .72, self-motivation = .78, perceived exertion = .67, and environmental conditions = .82; P < .01) have been found for this instrument, thus indicating a high level of test-retest reliability within the RAQ (Shin et al.).
Data Collection
A non-experimental repeated-measures prospective cohort study design was used in the completion of this study. Human subjects research approval was provided from the East Stroudsburg University Institutional Review Board (protocol #ESU-IRB-041-2021) in March of 2021, with the data collecting period for this study starting in June of 2021 and ending in February of 2022. After an in-season sports injury had occurred, collegiate athletes who met the appropriate inclusion criteria were approached by their athletic trainer for voluntary participation in this study through the provision of an electronic informed consent form on their first full day of starting their rehabilitation programs. The collegiate athletes were made aware that their involvement in this study would not have any effect on their status as a student-athlete at their respective institution. Once enrolled in the study, the participants were asked to complete the HADS to measure their current post-injury depression and anxiety symptoms. Participants were then monitored throughout the duration of their rehabilitation programs until they received clearance for full sports participation from either their team physician and/or athletic trainer (i.e., at return-to-play). On the day this clearance was attained, the HADS was administered again as well as the RAQ to measure their self-perceptions of their adherence to their rehabilitation programs. All questionnaires in this study were administered through Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant Google Forms on either a password-protected tablet, smartphone, or computer desktop with all collected data being deidentified, kept confidential, and storedin a password-encrypted computer.
Data Analysis
The IBM SPSS 27.0 Statistical Package was used to analyze all collected data once the data collection period was complete. Descriptive statistics were reported and Pearson product-moment correlation tests with a significance level of P < .05 were conducted among HADS and RAQ scores to attempt to further identify the relationships between post-injury depression and anxiety and rehabilitation adherence in collegiate athletes. The following criteria were used to interpret R values: little to no relationship (.00–.25), fair relationship (.25–.50), moderate to good relationship (.50–.75), and good to excellent relationship (above .75) (Portney & Watkins, 2009).
Results
The 19 participants (M age: 20.58 ± 1.31; 17 males, 2 females) in this study were primarily NCAA Division II student-athletes (73.7%), White Caucasian (63.2%), academic seniors (42.1%), and football athletes (63.2%). The participants sustained various musculoskeletal conditions such as foot/ankle injuries (36.8%), knee injuries (21.1%), hip/thigh injuries (21.1%), and shoulder injuries (21.1%) with three participants not being cleared for a return to full sports participation at the conclusion of the data collection period. The cleared participants (n= 16) took 96.63 ± 31.90 days to recover from their sustained injuries before they were cleared for full sports participation. For the completion of the post-injury HADS (i.e., HADS 1 administration), the participants (n = 19) scored an 11.58 ± 5.26, while for the completion of the return-to-play HADS (i.e., HADS 2 administration), the participants (n = 16) scored a 9.63 ± 5.83. The participants (n= 15) rated their self-perception of rehabilitation adherence to be 57.20 ± 4.95 on a scale of 25 to 100 using the RAQ. A significant positive correlation was found between HADS 1 and HADS 2 scores (R = .55, P = .03), but no significant correlations were found between RAQ and HADS 1 scores (R = .52, P = .85) or RAQ and HADS 2 scores (R = .14, P = .63).
Discussion
The mean scores of both HADS 1 and HADS 2 falling above the asymptomatic normal HADS category indicates that depressive and anxious symptoms remain a substantial presence for collegiate athletes at post-injury and return-to-play states. Furthermore, although the findings of this study did not establish a significant correlation between post-injury depression and anxiety symptoms and self-perceptions of rehabilitation adherence, there is still strong existing evidence from previous researchers to believe that poor mental health may be associated with poor rehabilitation adherence. Holt et al. (2019) organized a literature review of 34 studies on the topic of adherence to exercise therapy interventions in children and adolescents with musculoskeletal conditions among 6 different databases. The selected studies represented 1,563 participants (35% male, 65% female, 2-19 years old), 11 musculoskeletal conditions, and multiple exercise interventions. Commonly identified barriers to rehabilitation adherence in this review included time constraints, physical environment (location), and previous negative exercise experiences. Holt et al. concluded that a diversity of barriers and facilitators to exercise therapy for musculoskeletal conditions exist and current strategies to boost adherence are not consistent with contemporarily identified barriers and facilitators. They clinically referenced that making exercise enjoyable, social, and convenient may be important to maximizing rehabilitation adherence to exercise therapy in young, injured athletes.
Jack et al. (2010)  developed a systematic review of 22 articles reporting on 20 independent cohort studies using the ADMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PUBMED, PSYCINFO, SPORTDISCUS, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PEDro databases to understand the barriers to treatment adherence in physiotherapy outpatient clinics. These researchers identified high quality studies that maintained a focus on the exploration of rehabilitation adherence in patients with musculoskeletal conditions. They found that there was strong evidence to indicate that poor treatment adherence was associated with low levels of physical activity at baseline or in previous weeks, low in-treatment adherence with exercise, low self-efficacy, depression, anxiety, helplessness, poor social support, greater number of perceived barriers to exercise, and increased pain levels during exercise. They also found that the research focused on the ability of health professionals and health organizations to address these barriers was comparatively limited. Holt et al. (2019)  and Jack et al. would agree that symptoms of depression and anxiety may negatively influence rehabilitation adherence and that future study on the barriers to rehabilitation adherence is essential to the development of useful interventions by sports medicine professionals and other healthcare providers.
Brewer et al. (2013)  studied the predictors of adherence to home rehabilitation exercises following ACL reconstruction in a study of 91 (58 males, 33 females) post-operative patients. These patients completed measures of athletic identity, neuroticism, optimism, and pessimism before ACL surgery and measures of daily pain, negative mood, stress, and home exercise completion for 42 days postoperatively. These researchers found that their participants reported high levels of adherence to the prescribed exercise regimen and that the participants completed fewer home exercises on days when they experience more stress or negative moods. They concluded that day-to-day variations in negative mood and stress may contribute to adherence to prescribed home exercises. This conclusion may be generalizable to athletic training settings in collegiate athletics, as past studies have supported the presence of poor rehabilitation adherence by student-athletes in these settings (Granquist et al, 2014; Fisher et al., 1988).
Evans et al. (2012)  researched the stressors experienced by injured athletes during the 3 phases of their recovery from sports injury (onset, rehabilitation, return to play) and the differences in the stressors experienced by team-sport athletes as compared to individual-sport athletes with the use of semi structured interviews. The sample in this study consisted of 5 previously injured high-level rugby players and five previously injured high-level golfers. These researchers found that the athletes in their study experienced sport, medical/physical, and social and financial stressors; they also found that these same athletes reported several differences in the stressors experienced across the 3 phases of injury recovery and between team and individual-sport athletes. These researchers stressed that their findings have important implications for the design and implementation of interventions aimed at managing the potentially stressful sport injury experience and facilitating the return of injured athletes to competitive sport. This research supports the notion that certain psychosocial components of sports injury affect the ability of collegiate athletes to return to sports participation without any limitations.
Wadey et al. (2014) explored the relationship between re-injury anxiety and return-to-play outcomes in a cross-sectional research study of 335 collegiate athletes (M age = 23.5 ± 6.6) from varying NCAA competition levels. The athletes in this study completed the RIA-RE subscale of the Reinjury Anxiety Inventory (RIAI) as an assessment of reinjury anxiety and the Return to Sport After Serious Injury Questionnaire (RSSIQ) as an assessment of the perceptions of athletes on returning to sport. These researchers also assessed the presence of coping strategies in these athletes with the use of the Crocker and Graham MCOPE measure. They found a positive relationship between re-injury anxiety and heightened return concerns (R = .62, P < .01) and significant indirect effects for coping were found for wishful thinking, venting of emotions, denial, and behavioral disengagement. They suggested that future researchers should continue to examine the relationship between anxiety and return-to-play outcomes using diverse methodologies. 
Conclusions
With the premise that poor mental health may be correlated to poor rehabilitation adherence, it is reasonable to suggest that rehabilitative healthcare providers should have an invested interest in utilizing effective psychosocial interventions within their programming when treating injured collegiate athletes. Additionally, they should re-evaluate their own mental health screening practices to ensure that they are screening for appropriate mental health symptoms at baseline, at post-injury, and at return-to-play, as this is now considered best practice (Baez & Jochimsen, 2023). Rehabilitative healthcare providers should also be keenly aware of the fact that underreporting and a proven reluctance to ask for help in this population may play a role in masking certain symptoms through the entire rehabilitative process. These same elements may have also played a role as to why a relationship was not established between post-injury depression and anxiety symptoms and self-perceptions of rehabilitation adherence in this study. Other study limitations, including a small, predominantly White and male sample, timing and scheduling issues in the athletic training facility, and a lack of standardization when it came to the rehabilitation programs prescribed by the athletic trainers, could also have impacted the results. Future researchers should seek to create similar studies with much larger, diverse sample sizes that explore correlations between the individual subscales of HADS-D and HADS-A and the self-perceptions of rehabilitation adherence of collegiate athletes.
Applications in Sport
Members of the collegiate athlete care team, such as coaches, athletic trainers, and other healthcare providers, should be aware that the common underreporting of mental health symptoms in this population might make it difficult to establish the relationship between these symptoms and their recovery process after an injury. A holistic recovery approach should be considered in any injury recovery processes to allow collegiate athletes to heal both physically and psychologically. Despite their inability to sometimes be vulnerable and transparent in reporting, collegiate athletes clearly struggle with their mental health and more research is needed to better understand how the more nuanced aspects of depressive, anxious, and disordered eating symptomatology affect them while they are recovering from a sports injury. The best collegiate athletic environments are those that permit collegiate athletes to report any and all mental health symptoms, concerns, and crises without any fear of consequences stemming from coaches and other relevant personnel.

Advocates worry that proposed changes to Medicaid being debated in Congress will result in millions of people losing their health coverage. Rural women and families, who rely more heavily on the program, would be especially hurt. Rural hospitals bereft of Medicaid funding could close, affecting everyone in those communities regardless of insurance coverage. As one of 10 states that have not expanded access to Medicaid coverage, South Carolina appears to have less at stake than states who expanded the program to cover more people.
The Affordable Care Act established Health Insurance Marketplaces where individuals can purchase health insurance during an annual open enrollment period. The data in this table show Marketplace enrollment during each of the open enrollment periods from 2014 through 2025 for South Carolina.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, is joined at left by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., ranking member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as they talk to reporters about Senate Republicans’ efforts to pass President Donald Trump’s tax cut and spending agenda with deeper Medicaid cuts, at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, June 18, 2025.Wyden issued a joint letter urging Congress to extend healthcare subsidies.

Advocates worry that proposed changes to Medicaid being debated in Congress will result in millions of people losing their health coverage. Rural women and families, who rely more heavily on the program, would be especially hurt. Rural hospitals bereft of Medicaid funding could close, affecting everyone in those communities regardless of insurance coverage. As one of 10 states that have not expanded access to Medicaid coverage, South Carolina appears to have less at stake than states who expanded the program to cover more people.
SUMMERVILLE — Michel Moore, 57, has been working since she was a college student. When she had a stroke in September and then lost her nonprofit job in December, her health care costs quickly started piling up. 
To keep coverage for herself, her two children and her husband, Anthony, who also had a stroke, Moore paid over $2,000 a month. So when nonprofit Palmetto Project helped them enroll in health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, she was beyond relieved that it would help her bridge the gap while she searched for employment.
But those enhanced subsidies — which slashed the Moores’ insurance payment to less than $100 a month — are set to expire after Dec. 31. 
Every state has made gains in providing people with health insurance over the last decade. Many, like South Carolina, have seen better health outcomes as a result, a new report finds.
But that is all at risk under pending legislation in Congress, which could result in millions losing coverage, including nearly 100,000 people in South Carolina.
The new data in the 2025 Scorecard on State Health System Performance was released recently by the nonprofit Commonwealth Fund. It shows that since 2013, in part through the Affordable Care Act and subsidies to help pay premiums, there have been historic gains in Americans acquiring health insurance, cutting in half the number of people who were working but could not get or afford coverage, said Dr. Joseph Betancourt, president of the Commonwealth Fund.
“Fewer people are skipping needed care because of cost, and more families have the coverage they need to stay healthy,” he said. 
Those subsidies have helped Moore see the specialists she needs and keep medication affordable for her son, who has an autoimmune disease.
There are hundreds of families like the Moores in South Carolina. In the last five years, the state saw improvements in infant mortality, a decrease in the number of children who were overweight or obese and a decrease in the number of adults who lost six or more teeth, the report found.
There was also a dramatic drop over two years in households with medical debt sent to collections, from 22 percent, or more than one in five in South Carolina in 2021, to 9 percent in 2023, likely from different campaigns using a nonprofit that buys medical debt for pennies on the dollar to create relief for thousands in the Palmetto State.
But South Carolina still had the second-worst rate of people in medical debt, the report found.
All of that is now at risk from proposed Medicaid cuts, and the potential expiration of subsidies that helped millions afford health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.
Cuts to Medicaid in the proposed legislation could result in more than eight million losing coverage nationwide, the report found, and more than eight million more could lose their health insurance if subsidies are allowed to expire this year and new, stricter enrollment rules are enforced.
The new rules include a much shorter window for people to sign up in November and making it more difficult for people to show they qualify for coverage, said Sara Collins, vice president for health care coverage and access for Commonwealth.
While the impact from some of the Medicaid cuts might take a while to be felt, people trying to enroll in the Marketplace could notice an immediate change, she said.
“This Open Enrollment period, when they go to the marketplaces in November, they’re going to see their premiums spike, they will see major increases in their premiums,” she said. “And so we’ll potentially see drop offs in enrollment pretty quickly in 2026 as a result of those.”
In South Carolina, this would result in around 99,000 people losing health insurance and a 2 percent rise in the uninsured rate, according to an analysis by the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation.
The people that Palmetto Project serves are most at risk for any adjustments to affordability, said CEO Aaron Polkey, because they don’t have the margin to afford an increase if eligibility levels change. In many cases, a lot of them can barely afford what’s offered at that income level, so the subsidy expiration will end up taking them off insurance altogether, he said. 
That could have far-reaching consequences for peoples’ health and put more pressure on health care providers, who would be treating more-severe, expensive health conditions in emergency rooms instead of preventative care. 
The Affordable Care Act established Health Insurance Marketplaces where individuals can purchase health insurance during an annual open enrollment period. The data in this table show Marketplace enrollment during each of the open enrollment periods from 2014 through 2025 for South Carolina.
“When you take people’s access to health care away, these are life or death consequences,” said Joel Lourie, a former state lawmaker who now runs a health and life insurance agency in Columbia.
While Reps. Frank Pallone and Richard Neal and Sen. Ron Wyden — the top Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce, House Ways and Means, and Senate Finance Committees, respectively — called on Congress to extend the subsidies in a joint statement, there is little appetite to do so in the majority-Republican body. GOP lawmakers cited concerns about fraud and abuse, such as lack of enforcement on income limits and other verification processes.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, is joined at left by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., ranking member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as they talk to reporters about Senate Republicans’ efforts to pass President Donald Trump’s tax cut and spending agenda with deeper Medicaid cuts, at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, June 18, 2025.Wyden issued a joint letter urging Congress to extend healthcare subsidies.
Fraud allegations to date have primarily focused on agents, brokers and third parties involved with generating that business, according to KFF analysis. 
From January to August 2024, U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services received 183,553 complaints of unauthorized enrollments and 90,863 complaints of unauthorized switching of plans. Kaiser found that while final regulation and pending legislation introduces new paperwork and other enrollment requirements for consumers, it makes few changes to broker oversight.
Coverage providers would be supportive if Congress moved to extend the subsidies, said Jim Ritchie, executive director of the South Carolina Alliance of Health Plans.
“As we understand, thousands of South Carolinians depend on them to some extent or fully, but we also want to make sure that those who truly are deserving of the support are the ones receiving it,” Ritchie told The Post and Courier.
While Congress debates the Big, Beautiful Bill, Moore is wondering: what happens next?
“There’s this false stereotype of families sitting around, not working, just leeching off of the government. But, like, I’ve worked all my adult life,” Moore said. “There’s families out here that have been working their whole lives that can’t help it if they have a sudden challenge, or sudden health issue. When life becomes difficult, there should be an option that’s affordable.”

FunctionUp appears in the coding bootcamp scene with some serious reality checks to consider. While they advertise an average package of 10 LPA and partnerships with 800+ companies, student experiences tell a different story.
The program’s Income Share Agreement (ISA) model, which initially seems attractive, comes with specific conditions that need careful evaluation. Their curriculum covers both frontend and backend development, but recent graduate feedback suggests the program quality is comparable to other similar bootcamps in the market.
Looking at more affordable alternatives, Nucamp offers part-time programs under $3000, making it a more budget-friendly option for aspiring developers.
The key difference is in the payment structure – while FunctionUp promotes their ISA model, fixed-price programs can actually save money in the long run. Their frontend development course covers HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React, while the backend track focuses on Python, Node.js, and database management.

The landscape of affordable coding bootcamps in India has totally transformed in 2025, opening doors for tech enthusiasts like me who want to break into the industry without breaking the bank.
While researching bootcamps versus self-learning options, I discovered that most Indian bootcamps cost between ₹10,000 to ₹50,000, way less than international alternatives.
Despite what some programs claim about ₹10 LPA starting salaries, actual starting salaries often range between ₹3-4 LPA, which is still decent for fresh graduates.
Before jumping in, make sure to do your homework.
Recent discussions on Reddit highlight that placement rates vary significantly – some bootcamps report only 10% successful placements.
When choosing a program, look at these key things: placement track record (ask for actual data, not just promises), teaching quality (check if instructors have real industry experience), and hands-on project opportunities.
The best programs offer practical experience through real-world projects and include current tech skills like Python, data structures, and machine learning.
For those serious about making it in tech, bootcamps can be a smart move if you pick the right one.
Focus on programs that teach skills currently in demand – artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and full-stack development are super hot right now. Many programs also offer flexible payment plans and scholarships, making them even more accessible.
Just remember – success comes down to your dedication and willingness to put in the work, regardless of which path you choose.
In 2025, the average coding bootcamp fees in India range from INR 30,000 to INR 1,50,000, making them more affordable than traditional degrees.
Many bootcamps in India offer income-share agreements, flexible payment plans including monthly installments with zero interest, and various scholarships to make tech education more accessible.
The top coding bootcamps in India are selected based on cost, quality, and results, focusing on placement rates, curriculum alignment with tech trends like AI and Machine Learning, and community feedback with a rating threshold of 4 stars.
In 2025, Python and Analytics skills are highly sought after, with many bootcamps focusing on AI, Machine Learning, and analytics to meet industry demands.
