@fanfavorite11 Too much training and not actually playing and being put in real situations so everything is robotic instead of instinctual plus a lot don’t actually watch the game to understand the little things
“[Therapy] helped me work some things out. But more than anything, I think it helped me embrace the fact that — it’s like, Yo, B, you’re different. And that’s alright. You don’t have to be perfect. Those habits that got you to the league? They don’t translate to real life.
The goal doesn’t have to be perfection. It can just be peace and acceptance with yourself.
I know for athletes especially, that might sound like some bullshit. That might sound soft. We’re trained to think that way. It’s almost like we’re brainwashed. But the whole reason I’m telling you my story is because I know — I know — there’s players out there who need help.
And to those players? I would just say, Don’t worry.
No, man, for real. Don’t even worry. Go seek some help. Find a therapist and sit in a chair and just talk your shit, brother.
Don’t worry about what anybody says.”
