Dr. Hambric shares his insights into the internal struggles student athletes face and how those emotional tolls can affect more than just that single person. He reflects on his own experiences in football, offering perspective on the challenges he encountered as a player compared to the realities he now navigates alongside athletes in his clinical work. Together, we dive into what it means to protect an athlete’s light while balancing the complexities of performance, identity, and mental health.
