- Sports
Let’s start a new conversation.
In this inaugural episode, introducing the SportsPsychMds, a symphony of psychiatry,
where your hosts provide listeners with a two-part harmony. A song and dance of rhythm and blues, sprinkled with some country, a little bit of jazz and a whole lot of soul!
Dr. Armin Hoes and Dr. Torey Troggio are MDs of a new generation. A generation of people who see color as an expression of what we see on the inside. Men who love sports, value faith, hope and commitment in both life and performance as well as fair play, hard work and sacrifice. Together, you have a mental health podcast about sports promoting wellness and mental fitness.
The SportsPsychMDs represent unity. We recognize that to have unity we must communicate with each other and demonstrate that to achieve understanding we must have confidence, and with confidence we create unity. Unity underscores trust and moreover, a legacy of inclusivity, integration and above all, resilience.
The SportsPsychMDs recognize that in many ways, we all come from legacies of resilience. No matter how our families reached these shores, they brought with them stories. Stories of sadness and sorrow as well as joy and triumph and the blood, sweat and tears that were shed for us, our family’s honor and the values of our communities.
Our historical connections may be unique and distinctive but they serve reminders that while the road we take to get where are of going in this world may be different, the ultimate destination remains the same. When we take a look around us in any field of play we see people standing from different perspectives aimed in the same direction. It’s about a path to a better version of who we are and the best version of what we hope to be. This is what’s Sports and Performance are all about. In order to get better, we must be both open and willing to embrace that we are all running the same race.
Our content is wide ranging and seeks to find the balance, truth and ultimately spirit of wellness through Sports. Sports is the a meritocracy of unity and understanding and through its lens we see the challenges of mental health as another form of healthy competition. A test of will and strength but one in which if you remain committed to the process and true to yourself, you get the results you deserve.
Through our ongoing conversations we explore mental health as a journey in time. Stay with us and let us guide you to a place of open dialogue and empathic communications with fair-play, open hearts and the spirit of confidence.
Find your compass, light your path and speak up, listen and learn to march on.
Athletes featured: Kevin Love, DeMar DeRozan, Deion Sanders, Ryan Leaf, Simone Biles.
