Thoughts on the Olympics
This episode of the Grim Drive Podcast, where we explore mental health through the lens of professional sports and athletes, delves into some thoughts on the Olympics and more
This episode is on the shorter side, covering a review of our first interview that Jon did last episode with Strength Coach Marco Sanchez, some thoughts on the Olympics (Simone Biles, Team USA Men’s Basketball, and hypocrisy with disqualifications), a spotlight on the NHL Blackhawks trauma story, and a movie recommendation, as well as a quick preview of upcoming episodes.
*The Grim Drive Podcast is a way for people to learn about mental fitness, mental health, and mental illness, through the lens of sports. We want to do our part to further reduce the stigma associated with mental health by highlighting the athletes who have shown strength through vulnerability, spoken up, and spoken out. We want to provide listeners with mental health education, to raise awareness and reduce risk, maximizing the path to mental fitness.
As a reminder to listeners/viewers, please leave us a review on apple podcasts, or comment on one of our youtube videos with any thoughts. We guarantee we will respond to all comments and would love the chance to have a dialogue about some of these topics with anyone who is interested to discuss.
