There was a time when I thought I could handle everything on my own. I ignored therapy because I believed I just had to push through it. Once I finally decided to get help, I realized how much it changed my life. It gave me tools to deal with stress, become a better leader, husband, father, coach, and person. It also made me realize that mental health is just as important as physical health, especially in sports.
That’s one of the reasons I’m so excited to welcome Fireside Counseling as an official sponsor of the Player X Middle School Combine/Camp.
Fireside Counseling is committed to helping individuals become the best version of themselves. They provide counseling for children, adolescents, athletes, adults, couples, and families, with services focused on anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, life transitions, sports and performance counseling, behavioral concerns, and building healthy relationships. Their mission of helping people grow mentally and emotionally aligns perfectly with what we’re trying to build through Player X.
At Player X, we’re not just helping basketball players we’re helping young people. We want our athletes to understand that asking for help isn’t weakness; it’s strength. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as working on your jump shot or spending time in the weight room.
A huge thank you to Mr. Mike Green and everyone at Fireside Counseling for believing in our vision and supporting the next generation of student-athletes. Your investment in these young athletes goes far beyond basketball, and we’re grateful to have you as part of the Player X family.
Together, we’re helping build stronger athletes, stronger minds, and stronger futures. 🏀🧠❤️
