"THO" or The Hidden Opponent is a student-athlete mental health advocacy group that was founded in 2019 by former Division 1 Volleyball player, Victoria Garrick. After giving her Ted Talk in 2017 titled "Athletes and Mental Health: The Hidden Opponent", she started recruiting student-athletes and mental health advocates to create The Hidden Opponent. Although this organization was originally created in correlation with the rise of mental health concerns in athletics, our message is for all students who care about addressing the stigma surrounding mental health in our community here at LIU.
