On Episode 44 I sat down with Dr. Logan Hartnell, Director of Student-Athlete Wellness at Clemson University, to talk about:

• Building a truly integrated mental health + performance model

• How culture, trust, and connection break down stigma

• The new pressures college athletes face — NIL, social media, even sports betting — and how to support them

• Why knowing your “why” matters as much as any physical skill

This conversation left me fired up about where our field is headed. Logan’s perspective on creating spaces where athletes feel seen as people first is exactly the kind of shift the collegiate world needs.

🎧 Give it a listen if you’re passionate about athlete well-being, performance, and leadership.
