Love noted, “I think people will deal with these types of problems at their own pace and their own time and if they chose to not do it publically, I would hope that they’re taking advantage of whatever resources or whatever people within their… orbit… that they can speak to.”
“I do believe nothing haunts us like the things we don’t say,” the basketball player poignantly adds.
“You don’t have to be an advocate; you don’t have to be you know, truly outspoken about it,” says Love. However, he is grateful for the athletes before him who have been real and human about mental health.
“Thankful” for athletes such as Dak Prescott and Paul George, who have been forthcoming about how mental health affects everyone, Kevin explains, “those kinds of things are extremely meaningful not only for the general pop or sports fans but also for somebody like myself…it gives me hope in feeling that I’m part of something bigger than myself.”
