How do you move forward after your heart stops mid-game, playing the sport you love, in front of a national audience?
At just 24 years old, NFL player Damar Hamlin nearly lost his life after a cardiac arrest mid-game. What followed was a journey of fear, recovery, and resilience—and now, a mission to save others.
In this powerful conversation, Hamlin opens up about what it took to return to the field, why CPR and AED access became his calling, and how his story is helping raise awareness around heart health—especially in young athletes.
Joining the discussion, NYU Langone Health cardiologist Dr. Mark Peterson shares why young men should prioritize heart health early, even if they feel “bulletproof,” emphasizing that annual checkups, consistent exercise—especially Zone 2 cardio—and early prevention can delay or even prevent heart disease.
