Beyond The Bench
The Warm Up!
In this first episode of Beyond The Bench we give our listeners a look into our brains. We each introduce ourselves and share a little bit of our personal and sports backgrounds. We discuss some of our own experience as well as the stories from big-name athletes who have shared similar mental health struggles. With this launch we hope to help our listeners understand why this topic is so important and why we want to go Beyond The Bench.
