In this milestone episode of Athletes OnBalance, Walt sits down with two of the most influential figures in collegiate sports: legendary former Alabama head coach Nick Saban, and former NCAA Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brian Hainline. Together, they discuss the critical role of mental health in athlete development, the power of culture in shaping outcomes, and the importance of treating mental wellness with the same urgency as physical injuries. Coach Saban reflects on decades of using psychological strategies to develop talent, while Dr. Hainline shares how data and science are redefining mental health care in sports. Whether you're a coach, athletic leader, sports medicine professional, or advocate for athlete well-being, this conversation offers meaningful insights into building systems that support athletes as whole people.
