Tremendous Upside

These interviews with top athletes bring them to life powerfully. Feels like Holdsclaw is so present and trustworthy as an athlete that these people open up. Months and, now, years later I often think of these stories. I’m going to listen to them again but craving more. Gonna pick some for my 14 yr old athlete son to hear.

This is a great podcast about mental health. It has helped me personally a lot. I loved the episode with Theo Fleury.

Realistic, honest, frank, compassionate, gentle, daring, helpful. Thank you for making this show!

You are not alone

Hoping for more to come. I find we usually forget about either our mind or our bodies. I appreciate this focus on mental health! Thank you!

My father grew up in extreme urban poverty with alcholism , physical abuse and overall disfunction . My mom grew up in foster care My parents worked really hard and had one kid so they could get out of north philly . I always say where we are from getting out of north philly is like going to Harvard.

As a former collegiate NCAA athlete, these stories resonate with me deeply. Sport became my life- my family.... because of the trauma. This story, I am learning was not my own. Share. Talk. Heal. Move forward!

This podcast is amazing! It covers everything that happens in our daily lives and provides so much information on reaching out to seek help if needed. We're all humans it is okay to talk about our mental health.

This podcast is very well done and easy to understand. It talks about the life of athletes and some of the mental struggles they go through. The information presented is credible because it’s about the life of Ron from his own perspective, therefor we can trust that he is giving reliable information. Overall, it was very interesting to learn more about what some people go through living in the projects. Then what happens when they enter a big league like the NBA and how chaos can result from in... more

The most interesting part for me is when he describes the way he grew up surrounded by a violent environment that really affected the way he has to deal with anger now that he is an adult definitely very challenging for anybody

This podcast is very good and has much room for improvement! In many points during the show I was confused because of constant transitions. Information is very strong but not many facts are given. This podcast is mostly catered for professionals to learn how some people may be feeling. Very interesting but not very entertaining.

I think it was very interesting to see how athletes deal with their mental illnesses. and the questions really gave an insight on a topic no one really talks about. I think everyone should hear the realities of dealing with a mental illness in the spot light.

This podcast is very clear. The questions navigate through their lives and mental health illness. It’s interesting to hear about some of the greatest athletes and what they go through in their lives. It’s from their own perspective which creates a sense of credibility.

After watching the documentary of Chamique Holdsclaw I was interested when I found out she was doing a podcast. Even though the topic can be heavy considering it's about mental health, the host is always uplifting and there is never a dull moment listesning to professional athletes talk about this topic. Regardless if you are an athlete or not interesting in sports, this podcast is quite entertaining and I got some interesting information regarding mental health.

The interview with Metta world peace was an excellent podcast that helped me learned a lot on what an athlete might be going through. I learned about how even though the life of an athlete like Ron Artest might look great, they still struggle with mental problems like the rest of us. This podcast is excellent for an athlete that might need help and inspiration from other athletes talking about their problems and how they surpassed it. The information seems up to date and it’s an interesting inte... more
