Athlete Mental Health | Reggie Walker On The Game Within The Game
Don’t run from the truth. Examine yourself. Understand how to play the game within the game. Reggie Walker, ex-NFL LB & Captain shares space with Lisa Bonta Sumii, LCSW, CSW, the host of the AthMindset podcast series on SportsEpreneur.
Reggie Walker is a mental, physical, and sexual abuse survivor and survivor advocate. He is a TEDx Speaker | Board Member of 1in6.org. Reggie is an entrepreneur and the author of the book, “The Game Within The Game”.
Reggie and Lisa discuss:
Transitioning out of football | suicide | trauma | life or death | fight or flight | don’t run from the truth | your mind as an asset or your own worst enemy | sitting with yourself | reasons to live | walking | so much more.
This is an essential episode for athletes, those supporting athletes, and those looking to better understand athletes. Reggie is a helper. And it’s obvious five minutes into this conversation how special of a person Reggie is. We’re blessed to have him on the AthMindset / SportsEpreneur platform.
