Hi all,
Today comes as the finale of my partnership with the Bowdoin Student-Athlete Advisory Committee as part of the NESCAC’s 2022 Mental Health Week.
Wanting to branch away from more on-campus matters, I sought to discuss the overall relationship between the mental and physical sides of athletics, and why paying attention to it is for the best of all involved in the world of sports. For this, I brought in the sports psychologist that my high school football team worked with to help turn our program around (so yeah I had to pull out the old high school football pic for the episode cover). His name is Dr. Kevin Alschuler from the University of Washington, and you might recognize his name from episode 4 of this show.
Through his perspective, I hope that teams can work on being proactive in improving their communication and support, as to avoid any of those blow ups that can crumble a team’s collective identity.
Thank you so much to the BSAAC for including me in this week it was a blast and I cannot wait to see what sort of growth it fosters in our campus community.
Enjoy!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
