The strongest play is asking for help
An Intermountain Health planned event in partnership with The Defensive Line, focusing on providing mental health resources to the community. This event featured a panel of current and former professional football players.
Strength is being vulnerable
“I’ve learned that strength is being vulnerable. Being able to be real, authentic, and genuine with your emotions - even when you don’t want to be."
Authenticity is huge
“When we talk about breaking the mental health stigma - it’s about showing up as our most
authentic selves and knowing our strengths.”
Success is a mindset
“Success is not a destination but a mindset - and we are constantly looking for our purpose.
Learning how to identify true problems is important in the healing process.”
Find ways to be present
“Finding ways to be present helps connect that courage to go all in and try your best to not worry
about the problems of tomorrow or yesterday.”
Be open minded
“You never know what little message or conversation can spark in somebody. Being open and setting your
pride and ego aside can make you a better person.”
Identify your problems
“Your probems are real. It’s important to be vulnerable, to articulate, and learn the tools
to identify those problems.”
