When we look at heroism, we should be looking within ourselves and our adversity as a chance to be heroic.
Ever wondered how someone can pivot from a sports career to making a profound impact in therapy? In this episode of the 'Addict II Athlete Podcast', Coach Blu Robinson chats with Desmond Lomax, a former BYU football player who transitioned into law enforcement and later became a clinical therapist. Desmond shares his remarkable journey of recovery, shedding light on how his chronic illness ended his football career but opened doors to new opportunities in helping others.
They discuss the importance of compassion and belief in others, and how these values can transform lives, especially for those battling addiction. Desmond talks about his work in a prison, where he helps inmates change their hearts and minds, showing that even in the darkest places, hope and heroism can flourish. The conversation delves into the principles of sports, addiction, and recovery, emphasizing that it's okay to struggle and that these struggles can be a path to heroism.
With a focus on principle-based living, Desmond and Coach Blu explore how sports can teach valuable life lessons that are applicable far beyond the field. One of the standout moments is when Desmond highlights the critical role of a strong support system. Finding people who believe in you can make all the difference in your recovery journey. The episode wraps up with Coach Blu encouraging listeners to share this inspiring story with anyone who might benefit from it.
This episode is a testament to the power of resilience and the transformative impact of compassion.
