My name is Josh Senica. Alongside my passion for basketball, I enjoy spending time with friends and family and being outdoors. Growing up as the youngest of six taught me how to learn from others and work as part of a team—skills that continue to support me in my basketball career. The values I was raised with have shaped who I am today, both on and off the court. Now in my second year of college, I’m learning the importance of taking care of myself—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. This means leaning on those close to me—family, friends, coaches, and others on campus—and making use of the support systems around me. I believe mental health is a vital part of overall well-being, especially within the pressures of a competitive athletic program. When challenges come up, I think it’s important to talk about them openly, rather than keep them inside. I’m grateful to have access to mental health professionals who can guide and support me when needed, and I feel encouraged to reach out when necessary. College athletics also provides valuable resources to maintain physical health, which plays a key role in how well we perform in the classroom, on the court, and in everyday life.
