About this listen

On today’s episode, Brady Bramlett shares his college experience as an NCAA and SEC Student-Athlete. He talks about how having a passion outside of baseball saved his life, his personal experience with depression, how we all need to leave our egos at the door, and reminds us that we can have multiple identities and passions.


“That’s what people don’t talk about is how condemning it is to be injured as an athlete in the mental health space. Yes, you are physically hurt, and that’s fine because, as an athlete, you know you are trained to be trained...But nobody ever talks about how stripping and how baring it can be on your mental health because your entire identity is completely taken away from you.”
