When you watch tonight’s game, focus on Michigan QB @jjmccarthy09’s pregame routine & how much it involves mental health practices such as grounding, meditation, & breath work.
@SameHere_Global calls these collectively “STARR” stress & trauma active release & rewiring.
JJ has spoken about his mental health challenges, but we also have to acknowledge how these STARR Exercises proactively get him in the right mindset to perform his best.
He’s on the cusp of a national championship, normalizing these practices for fans all over - health & performance.
He’s helping to change the narrative.

I love this from Florida State! We need more programs to set this example; no matter how big the game or the stakes, the health of a player comes first. Wishing Tate Rodemaker a healthy concussion recovery.

Dear soccer commentators... Please stop calling players that sustain a head injury, and are clearly concussed, 'brave' for staying on the pitch 😡 Players displaying obvious signs of head injury, should be removed from play. #playerwelfare #brainhealth #concussion
