In this episode, Dr. Jay Barnett welcomes sports performance trainer Mo Wells to Just Heal to discuss Mo’s journey from running 400-meter hurdles at McNeese State and LSU to working in LSU football strength and conditioning and building a career training elite athletes.

The conversation focuses on the unseen “off the field” burdens athletes and trainers carry—pressure to appear strong, difficulty with vulnerability, and how identity can unravel when the applause stops. He also reflects on grief and how it intensified his commitment to checking in deeply with athletes, and the need to collaborate with mental health professionals when issues fall outside his scope. Mo’s message to athletes is that “it’s okay” to feel, speak up, and get help, and he defines healing as facing what you’re trying to heal from rather than pushing it aside.

He also reflects on the emotional and psychological toll of repeated injuries, including multiple knee surgeries and an Achilles tear that sidelined him for years. Verrett discusses recovery, mentorship, fatherhood, faith, and rebuilding purpose after retirement, crediting daily self-affirmation, gratitude, and perspective for saving his life. His message to young men is clear: trust your path, protect your mental health, and remember that healing is a continuous journey shaped by truth, support, and self-belief.
