#92 - A Discussion on Mental Health in Sport w/Logan Wall

In this special interview episode of 3rd & Wrong, the guys welcome on friend of the pod, and former CJFL and Usports athlete, Logan Wall. 

Logan shares what got him into football, and his journey as he matured as a football player and coach.  He gives an inside look into what the recruiting process was like for the former high school recruit, and delves into how he transitioned into coaching. Logan also gives his thoughts on how the grassroots level of football can encourage the growth of the sport in Canada.

Next, Logan shares his battle with mental health throughout his playing career. The guys have an open discussion on mental health in sport, the culture of football's impact on athletes battling with mental health issues, and the supports available to student athletes and what they'd like to see.
