“Mind /Game” Diversity Film Screening | Piedmont

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Chamique Holdsclaw grew up playing basketball. She led her New York City high school team to four straight state championships before she played for Pat Summit at the University of Tennessee, where she led her team to 3 consecutive national championships and became the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in the history of SEC women, an all-American, and Naismith Player of the Century. Holdsclaw was the first pick in the 1999 WNBA draft, Rookie of the Year and a WNBA All-Star. She’s been called the “female Michael Jordan”.

Alongside this extraordinary basketball career, Chamique Holdsclaw experienced depression, and was ultimately diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. “Mind/Game” chronicles her history, her struggles and her decision not to just go public with her condition, but to become a mental health advocate, so that other young people might more easily reach out and find help. Chamique’s journey may seem unique, but millions of American suffer from mental illness, and many don’t get the help they need.
