    Brian Dawkins

    When Brian Dawkins was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he took the stage in front of tens of thousands of fans -- and he got personal. He used his speech to talk about his struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts. Dawkins talks with host Chamique Holdsclaw about his unlikely path to the NFL, his rock-bottom moment, and how he got over the embarrassment of talking about his feelings: "When you begin to talk to people, what happens is the weight that you had is cut in half."

    Kenny Anderson

    As Kenny Anderson says, "Basketball is easy. Life is hard.” Kenny was one of the best high school basketball players of all time, but his early success hid the trauma of his childhood. Now retired from the NBA, he talks to host Chamique Holdsclaw about how he went from trying to mask the pain to addressing it head on. The biggest thing he says he's learned about mental health?

    Suzy Favor Hamilton

    Suzy Favor Hamilton once clocked in as the fastest female middle-distance runner in the world. But after an epic fall on the track at the 2000 Olympics, her career was over. She worked to build a life outside of running, but struggled with undiagnosed bipolar disorder. Her private life became shockingly public when reporters revealed that she was working as an escort in Las Vegas. Suzy talks with host Chamique Holdsclaw about how she finally got a productive diagnosis, and worked to reclaim her own story. You can follow us on Twitter and Instagram using @Tremendous_Pod.

    Theo Fleury

    Theo Fleury hit the ice at age five. He was a hockey phenom at 14, a Stanley Cup champion at 20 and an Olympic gold medalist at 33. He was also keeping a terrible secret. As a teen, he was sexually assaulted by one of his coaches. Hockey became an escape, but it couldn’t fix everything; he faced addiction and suicidal thoughts. Today, Theo is sober, and he talks with host Chamique Holdsclaw about what it took to get there. You can follow us on Twitter and Instagram using @Tremendous_Pod.

    Briana Scurry

    In 1999, goalie Briana Scurry delivered the epic game-deciding save that won the Women's World Cup for the U.S. But the two-time Olympic gold medalist considers her most important accomplishment to be advocating on behalf of people with traumatic brain injuries. After she took a knee to the head during a game in 2010, she went down a three-year-long path of pain, isolation, and depression. But she fought for herself, got the help she needed and vowed to help others suffering after concussions. You can follow us on Twitter and Instagram using @Tremendous_Pod.
