NFL Launching Video Series in Support of Mental Health Awareness Month

Back in Michael Robinson‘s playing days, players did not tell their teammates they loved them. Robinson, who logged eight NFL seasons as a fullback for the 49ers and Seahawks, had long been interested in spirituality and ancient philosophies, and he had noticed that the majority of successful players had made it despite coming from environments that would discourage them. They had done so by having a positive attitude regardless of their environment, Robinson thought, and it made him realize the importance of mental health to an athlete’s success.
