That's how close, and I'm very close to my teammates.
CeCe went to the Premier and a couple of other of my teammates were like, oh, my God, I had no idea about that game in Minnesota where he went to those only four games of my career.
I think just walking everyone.
I mean, the biggest, the toughest thing was like reliving those moments, open up those wounds, which, you know, were very painful, the stuff that I put on myself, right?
And you get some PTSD because like when you do things, like you get hammered, but this has been exact opposite, like putting everything out there, the response that I've gotten from universities about mental health, from just people that are,
in the work field, people that have been thinking about doing therapy and they just honestly appreciate it for the first time seeing the very raw best version of myself, I guess.
Yeah, no, I think the reason why
You know, I started doing this work over 10 years of therapy, and I'm still in it in therapy.
You know, I would say, like, in good days, I'm kind of, like, starting to round second.
Most of them are still at first base.
You know, we're all in this great journey.
But I had no idea then that I would act and behave the way I would because I was so locked in, almost like...
like Rambo, just like trained to kill, trained to play baseball.
And I knew that was my responsibility to take care of my family because I wanted to be all the things that my father couldn't do for us, at least financially.
But what I was realizing that as great as I got to be as a baseball player, I was becoming more detached from reality, from self-awareness.
My ego was getting inflated.
But I think more than the ego, it was just the lack of self-awareness.
And when I talked about Dr. David, for some of the listeners who haven't seen the documentary, Dr. David, who I think saved my life, he helped me rewire the brain to really understand other people and understand my place in life.
And that was a huge disconnect.
I had at 21, when I was second in MVP, I looked like I was 28 years old as a man and a maturity.
