Coach Benning shares his journey from competing on the field to mentoring young athletes, reflecting on how changing perspectives surrounding head injuries have influenced his coaching style and approach to player care. We also discuss the importance of growth beyond sports, as Coach Benning opens up about his passion for culinary art and how creating in the kitchen has become both a source of therapy and a meaningful form of self expression.
