BackYard Footy Repost: Black Lives Matter

This is a timely repost from BackYard Footy: Black Lives Matter in a time when we can all use a little more insight, education, and empathy. Description below.

I’m beyond excited to share this incredible life changing episode with everyone. The prestige behind my guests and authenticity of content they brought to discuss makes this episode one we’ll never forget. An episode we all needed during these times, shining a light on black athletes struggles mentally and physically. This is a Humanity issue we all can come together and solve. I hope to spread nothing but love and education into our lives because our lives matter too. I appreciate the support it goes beyond words. Lets make a difference for the culture!

Listen to us talk about the issues going on in this country from our perspectives, growing up black in America’s Footy system, negative effects white coaches might have on black players and how we can resolve all these issues + many more raw stories and laughs you don’t want to miss. Its worth every minute, learn from our struggles and advice and try to imply it in your daily life to make a difference. I appreciate you for listening!
