Interview #18 with Cameron Dobbs

I spoke with Cameron Dobbs, the manager of sponsorship content on-air host for the University of Miami. She creates content for the University of Miami Hurricanes, and is a speaker, author, podcaster, and business owner of @playwhereyourfeetare.
She speaks about her experiences with mental health as a Christian student-athlete. She shares how in university her life was going "perfectly" and then she got her third concussion, leading to her dropping out of school, leaving the volleyball team, and spending months sitting in a dark room dealing with her concussion symptoms. This was when she really started to struggle with her mental health. We discuss rooting your identity in your sport, comparing past and present versions of yourself, going to therapy, and much much more!
Here are a few of my favourite messages/quotes from the interview:
"We can fake it 'till we make it all we want, but don't fake it for life."
"The grass is not greener on the other side. The grass is greener where you water it."
"Don't waste today waiting for tomorrow."
