Hello, my name is Mattie Papenthien. I am a junior at UD studying business, sports marketing and management, and accounting. Additionally, I am also a member of the women’s wrestling team. As an academic student managing multiple majors while balancing wrestling practice, workouts, and a job, I am often under a lot of pressure and stress. Because of this, I have learned how important it is to take care of both my physical and mental health. Wrestling, and regular workouts keep me in good condition and focused. Training pushes me to stay active and maintain healthy habits. To mentally cope with all my stress, I make sure to stay organized, set goals, and allow myself downtime when I feel overwhelmed. I also rely on the support from my family and friends, ensuring I have a strong community to help me. Balancing all aspects of my life is not always easy but focusing on my mental and physical health helps me perform better in everything.
