The importance of focusing on one’s mental health is important in every sense. Everybody has different ways of dealing with mental health struggles.

Lindsey Vonn loves her dogs

Dogs are beautiful. They understand emotions from people so easily that we wish they could talk. Meanwhile, Vonn has three dogs. In 2014, Leo came in and gave her company. She missed the 2014 Sochi Olympics, and Leo sat with her and helped her. “I could no longer hide under my covers, and I think that was a really, really important step for me,” said Vonn.

Soon after, she introduced Bear while Lucy came after. Being on the road every day, it was tough for Vonn to deal with her emotions and talked about the misconceptions people had about athletes. Winning and living alone was not an easy task, and Vonn dealt with it with her lovely dogs.

“I started to have a hard time being on the road by myself. Everyone thinks winning is so glamorous, but you come back to an empty hotel room, and you’re away from your friends and your family and it’s very isolating and can be very difficult. So Lucy helped me a lot,” said Vonn, who loved the company of her dogs.
