#Patriots HC Mike Vrabel on the importance of mental health and the role coaches play:
“I get to see these guys every single morning… I see their faces. So, after a few weeks you know when things [are off]... Don’t just ask somebody how they’re doing. There’s a follow up to that. You can ask somebody how they’re doing and not stop. Y’know what I mean? Like, be intentional. Stop. You’re gonna get some information. Listen, this is a high pressure business. We love what we signed up for… But, I mean, you’re judged. You have to be okay with being judged. So, we all need people to talk to… Everybody’s journey looks a little different… Don’t be afraid to sit there and stop the next time you ask somebody how they’re doing.”
Extremely well said.
