The Barbell and the Golf Club: My Journey with Depression and Anxiety
Manage episode 269989517 series 2778894
Today I discuss my battles with depression and anxiety and how golf and barbell training have been very important tools for me in managing my mental health.
This is a big reason why I am so passionate about helping others improve their health, play better golf and learn to love and enjoy both exercise and the game of golf
I know that no matter what goes on in my life, no matter how dark the time s or how low I get, I know that when I get a barbell or a golf club in my hand I can clear my mind and escape even if temporary.
Alonge with these tools the biggest thing I did was to seek help and get properly diagnosed putting a name and a clear plan for the struggles that i was going through for most of my adult life.
If you are going through these struggles no matter what the best advice I can give is to reach out and get help. Reach out to a friend or family member, find a qualified counselor or therapist and get the proper treatment, whatever that may be, for your issues and struggles.
I believe we are all athletes and that we should train like athletes to some degree regardless of our goals.
