'Disbelief', Featuring Todd Morgan (National Programs Manager for Outside the Locker Room)

In this episode of CTM, Todd Morgan, National Programs Manager, for Outside the Locker Room, joins me in conversation via Zoomchat. Todd goes into detail with regards to the origins of Outside the Locker Room and how it was first formed. For those tuning in, that don't know a thing about OTLR, the idea / mission behind this non-for-profit charity is to "Deliver welfare and education programs that build both collective and individual mental health and wellbeing within our communities." - Outside The Locker Room. Todd outlines the educational programs that OTLR have put in place, to which they mainly revolve around the idea of everyone getting given a fair go, within sport. Whether you you have a form of disability, or are from a certain ethic group, everyone should be given a fair-go, an equal opportunity to play sports and to feel apart of that community. In this episode, we also cover the certain 'stereotypes' that some sporting clubs may potentially be well known for. Excessive drinking culture, drug indulging, racist remarking toward opposition. Whilst also openly sharing possible resolutions toward these issues, and how OTLR are trying to change these club cultures. One more pointer that I wanna pay mention too, is OTLR'S passion to helping people that may have set themselves a goal, to becoming a professional sporting athlete. It may have always been a dream of there's. However, they don't end up performing at the standard required, which resultantly see's them being delisted. OTLR provides assistance for individuals going through such a depressing, such a heart-breaking situation. The overall message of this Episode, is to not be afraid to reach out to those, that may or may not be in need of a conversation. Through the power of one random conversation, you might just infact help someone break an unhealthy habit of there's, or make them feel like as if someone finally wants to hear how there day was.
