This episode dives into the mental health battles athletes carry long before anyone sees them break. Using the story and mission behind Morgan’s Message, we explore the pressure, the silence, and the moments young men feel like they have nowhere to put the weight they’re holding. Lacrosse is the backdrop, but this conversation is about identity, expectations, grief, masculinity, and the hidden struggles that follow athletes into adulthood. If you’ve ever felt like you had to “keep it together” for your team, your family, or your image… this one’s for you.
