Hilary Phelps: Championing Mental Health and Sobriety in College Sports

And I've received messages and people saying: you know I struggle, or my mom struggles, or this person, and you know just got sober. And you know, I know that you've received those messages as well from people just saying thank you for being so open and talking so candidly.
Hilary Phelps, once a top swimmer in America during the late '90s, returns to 'The Payoff with Pete' with a compelling message. With 15 years of sobriety under her belt, Hilary dives deep into the crucial topics of mental health and recovery among student-athletes. She recently shared her story with student-athletes at her alma mater, the University of Richmond, and in this episode, she and host Pete Sousa continue that important conversation.
They explore the pressures college athletes face and the urgent need for mental health support and addiction resources. Hilary's personal journey through addiction and recovery serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that openness and support can have. She emphasizes that even reaching one person with a message of hope can create ripples of change. This episode is a must-listen for anyone connected to college sports or interested in the intersection of mental health and sobriety.
