Hosted by Brandon St.Croix, this conversation dives deep into the often-overlooked mental challenges faced by athletes. Reggie shares candid insights from his own life, shedding light on the stigma surrounding mental health in sports and how it has evolved over the years.
He doesn’t shy away from discussing his recovery from a traumatic brain injury, offering a raw and honest perspective that many athletes will find relatable. But it’s not just about the struggles; Reggie also provides practical advice for current and former athletes on maintaining their mental well-being.
