What You’ll Hear in Today’s 15-Minute Huddle:

Today’s question: How can we remove mental health stigmas?

To help answer the question, I’m joined by Ryan "China" McCarney. We discuss how the pressure to compete and win is getting tougher at a younger age.

China shares his journey as a professional baseball player suffering from anxiety and depression.

Why China started the Athletes Against Anxiety and Depression foundation.

How we need to change our perception of mental illness for ourselves and others.
