So my first bout of depression was down there in Miami.

You didn't want to go to school. I was ready to leave.

I left school.

I didn't take any midterms.

And I just left.

But the interesting thing at that time is I just didn't know what it was.

I didn't know what mental health was. I didn't know what depression was. I just

knew I didn't want to be there. I wasn't going to any of the team meetings. I

wasn't participating in anything.

I wasn't working out. And, you know, for us, just as athletes, just any kind of

sweat getting it in will help.

Get that shit out of you. I couldn't do it because of my shoulder.

So at that time, that was a tough one for me. And again, I didn't know what it

was. Years later, I went through it again when I got a divorce.

Didn't know what it was.

Years later, around 2017 or so, went through a little bit.

Really? But knew what it was at that time. And luckily at that time, I had

some friends who I could lean on.

Say, you know, I'm feeling a little wobbly now. I've got a little struggle

happening. I'm seeing a little gray and not the blue.

But to bring it all back around to your great question is, yes, the saving grace

for me has really been my daughters, the three of them, and being a girl dad.

That's been the saving grace because you look at them and you realize, well, I

mean, really this is what it's all about.
