Great show and great explanation of how athletes deal and play with injury. The mental and physical demands to play while hurt is crazy for these athletes.
Ro Jo: on the issue of pressure from the coach asking, "are you good to good, are you gonna play?" Being older and wiser now, had I the insights I had even at 30, if I knew I was not ready, Knew I was damaged, but the coach/es punished or dropped me, I'm gonna walk out the door and it won't hit my ass, and I WILL find a more honest and respectful team to play for. The young men need some mentorship/counseling to protect their best interest for their LIFE TIME not just the game or season.
Cal, way to stand up and tell the truth at 20 min 30 sec. Coaches can loose perspective of the student athlete's long-term wellfare, bc of the pressures of winning or at least fielding the best lineup. Hell, look how some of the plays called are obviously brain farts, which make it clear, and doubly important the young men get THE BEST ADVICE , including out of program Doctors. Especially out of program doctors.

Segment 2 was THE TRUTH. Congrats Cal and all the guys for keeping it REAL.
Travis didn’t drop the ball. It was a clear catch. He also wasn’t out of bounds on his first TD. Ref just wanted to make sure his parlay hit lol
