J.J. Watt for Men’s Health
J.J. Watt on the mental challenges of rehab:
It’s constant. You have good days and bad days, and it’s easy to wallow and pity yourself. It’s not like I said, ‘I’m going to attack every day.’ I had very difficult days. I’m lucky to have incredible friends, family, and a girlfriend. They pick you up on tough days.
Russell Wilson for Men’s Health
Russell Wilson on mental health and changing the stigma:
I think about how in our schools today if someone goes to the guidance counselor, people think that person is weird. I want to change that thought. How can we learn from other people? How can we learn from the experience of failure? I’ve been working with a mental-conditioning coach, Trevor Moawad, for years.
