When John first mentioned about about being in a dark place and wanting to commit suicide, I was taken aback. I knew in that moment, that this was something really big. Didn’t know it would be as big as it became. It showed that even top athletes have mental health challenges and he knew he needed to address them. And he put it out there. It takes courage to do that.

While I know the focus has become about John’s mental health, which he did a great job of talking about, I invite you to watch the conversation in its entirety. John does a lot in the community, particularly in Raleigh, and with youth.
