quarterback Caleb Williams on mental health

A powerful moment.

The Heisman Trophy winner 2022 was devastated after a 52–42 loss.

He went directly to the stands to sob in his mother’s arms.

Asked about his reaction after the Washington loss, Williams said it’s important to be himself. 

“I’ve been an advocate for mental health, trying to show your emotions and express yourself, things like that,” Williams said to the Orange County Register’s Luca Evans.

“It’s something I’ve been doing since I was young and now, being on the national level, being able to try and share that awareness with the public.” …

Concussion Ball is rife with toxic masculinity.

Caleb Williams is the opposite. Confident enough not to hide his emotions.

He was criticized by some dinosaurs. But I call Caleb a winner. Like Simone in Tokyo.

Gymnastics to Pole Vault

I recall how Athletics recruited new Pole Vaulters at University of Saskatchewan.

The coaches dropped into the Gymnastics Gym. Watched the oldest, tallest gymnasts — and asked me how close they were to retiring from Artistic. 😀

It’s an easy transition for many. They already have the physical ability, and aerial awareness.

Olivia McTaggart, for example, did Gymnastics for 10 years. Switched to Pole Vault at age-16.

At the 2022 World Athletics Indoor Championships she finished 6th.
