Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers is one of many athletes combating mental health in the public eye. Last season, after pulling himself from a game due to a panic attack, Love published an op-ed in the Players Tribune titled “Everyone Is Going Through Something.” The piece touched thousands of people when they realized one of their heroes was experiencing some of the same struggles they were.
Love recently created a show called “Locker Room Talk,” where he talks with professional athletes about mental health. Episode 2 featured Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, who has struggled with mental health issues in the past.
