If you are an athlete, more likely than not you will face mental barriers, mental hurdles, and mental warfare during your time in sports. As a Christian in the athletic world, how can we face these trials through Christ? What do we do to stop the stigma surrounding getting help for your mental health? How can we stop these things before they go too far? 

Founder of Athletic Fortitude and former Division 1 football player Colin Jonov joins the podcast today to talk about conquering mental hurdles that we face as athletes. As someone who struggled with this during and following his playing days, Colin brings a wealth of knowledge into this conversation that you are not going to want to miss!

Topics for today's discussion:

  • Lessons he learned from his Division 1 and professional playing career
  • How to break the stigma surrounding mental health in athletics
  • What athletes can do in advance to not let mental hurdles get in the way
  • How people should view athletes
