Athletes know the time, dedication, and drive it takes to get their body proactively in game shape, but few put the same hours into proactively taking care of their mental health.

Today, Zach and I discuss how we can start to proactively change the mental health culture starting primarily in youth sports. We dive into how Zach found a light in his life when things seemed darkest, how to ask for support, navigating changing friendship dynamics, and choosing sobriety in today’s social culture.

Before we get started, I want to offer you exclusive access to our latest challenge called Sober60. It’s a 60 day commitment to yourself through 10 minute daily experiences that help you better cope with stress, connect with those around you, and reduce your social anxiety. In Sober60, you don’t have to sacrifice your social life, we help you create life changing experiences for yourself, in just 10 minutes a day. You’re not alone in your journey to exploring a deeper commitment to yourself and to celebrate that, as listeners to this podcast, when you use “FAR15” you’ll receive 15% off the community challenge. Head over to forever-athlete.com and check out how you can get started today.
