This past Tuesday, Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson shared that he is retiring from the NFL to prioritize his mental health. Seeing a professional athlete speak so openly about his mental health is so inspiring and is a powerful reminder that taking care of your mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness.

In a world where athletes are often expected to push through pain and perform under pressure, Laneβs vulnerability is an important reminder that your well being matters more than any title or achievement. By sharing his decision, he is helping create space for others to recognize when they need to put themselves first.

We hope to see more conversations like this, where prioritizing mental health is met with understanding and support. Because no matter who you are, what you do, or what others expect of you, your mental health matters.
