Former NFL player Marcus Smith II has opened up about his own journey with mental health, using his platform to advocate for why supporting young athletes is so important. 🏈 In a recent article with the American Psychiatric Association, Smith talked about his battles with anxiety, and how even when “everything was going right,” he found himself feeling isolated and anxious. By sharing his story, Marcus is breaking down stigma and reminding athletes everywhere that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 💪🧠 Thank you to Marcus for being willing to speak up about his own experiences and use them to drive change. 🙌 Let’s keep building spaces where athletes feel seen, supported, and safe to talk about what they’re going through.💚 #nfl #marcussmith #mentalhealth #football #mensmentalhealth
