Former NBA player Michael Beasley advocates for athletes to work on their mental health in an interview with Fox News Digital. Beasley played 11 seasons in the NBA.
before turning pro, discussed the need for athletes to work on their mental health with the same level of energy they put into honing their physical skills. , we know [how] to get stronger, to get quicker. We lift weights, we take the same jump shot a thousand, a million times. We do the same crossover. But there wasn’t anything in place for my mind, or for our mind," Beasley told Fox News Digital when asked if there was anything in place at Kansas State to help with mental wellness.
"Until recently, there really wasn’t anybody to talk to because it was such a taboo topic," he continued,"that everybody was hiding their feelings, or dealing with their own things, that there wasn’t an open discussion." Beasley said Love and DeRozan revealing their mental health struggles sent a"bigger message" by showing the world that it is ok to be vulnerable, a message that resonated with Beasley as it came from two players at the top of their professions.
