Scholarship baseball does not give full rides. So I had like a false confidence that I like to kind of portray.
Perci Garner's transition from high school to college sports wasn't as smooth as you might think. In this engaging episode of the Break the Stigma podcast, Perci sits down with host Natalie Bollon to discuss the real challenges he faced at Ball State. Moving from being a standout athlete in high school to competing with equally talented peers in college, Perci found his confidence taking a hit.
He candidly shares his experiences with both the football and baseball programs, revealing how the pressure to perform affected his mental health. But it’s not just about sports. Perci and Natalie dive into broader issues like the role of race in an athlete's self-esteem and the often-overlooked importance of mental health in sports. They emphasize the need to break the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage open, authentic conversations.

This episode is perfect for anyone interested in the intersection of sports and mental health, especially those who have faced similar struggles. Whether you're an athlete, a student, or someone dealing with confidence issues, Perci's story offers valuable insights and a sense of solidarity.
