Athlete's Voices: How Sports Shape Addiction Recovery

To turn the mess of all addictions into a message of health, wellness, and sobriety.
What do an NFL player, a WWE wrestler, and a recovery coach have in common? In this episode of the 'Addict II Athlete Podcast', Coach Blue sits down with former NFL stars Randy Grimes and Joe Nedney, and WWE wrestler Mike Bennett to dive into the powerful role sports play in addiction recovery. They share their personal battles with addiction, shedding light on how the opioid crisis has affected athletes and how fear of failure often fuels substance abuse.
But it’s not all about the struggles. These athletes discuss how team sports provide a supportive community and a healthy outlet for dealing with physical and emotional pain. Vulnerability and open communication are highlighted as key components of their recovery journeys. This episode serves as a beacon of hope, showing that reaching out for help is a strength, not a weakness.
