St. Edwards shooting guard Uche Dibiamaka launched his own clothing line to document his mental health journey and spread awareness to other student-athletes.
AUSTIN, Texas — Moving to the United States at age 16, Uche Dibiamaka found a sense of familiarity and home on the basketball court.
The court was always the place Dibiamaka could escape from reality and relieve stress, until one day, it wasn’t. During his third year of college at UTRGV, his head coach, Lew Hill, passed away. “It was a mental overload because it was like a tornado of emotions in my brain and I didn’t know how to deal with it and they just flooded me during the game to the point where I literally couldn’t play. I didn’t know what to do. I literally walked out the game, and I think at that point, I realized that there was a problem that needed to be addressed,” said Dibiamaka.“I was always so intense, always so on edge.
“My therapist helped me address all the feelings in my head and help me let my guard down. I started to retrain my mind, rewire the way I think and develop psychological flexibility so I can adapt to the new situation,” said Uche Dibiamaka.
