Episode 90 D Jay Mcgrath

Welcome back Beauty's and Rockstars to episode 90!!! I thought since this guest is a speaker we will let him write the bio. I’m D Jay McGrath, founder of DJMH Coaching. As a former Midget AAA, Jr A, WHL, and College Athlete, I’ve spent the two years sharing my mental health journey with schools, hockey teams, and organizations across Canada. My goal is to provide support to hockey players struggling with their mental health and create a safe space for them to open up. Growing up in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, I faced challenges pursuing my hockey dream. Moving away at 15, I grappled with homesickness, anxiety, depression, and turned to alcohol to cope. Despite playing for the Everett Silvertips and later returning to my hometown team, the Kindersley Klippers, my mental health suffered. Cocaine addiction, depression, and anxiety followed during my time with the Red Deer College Kings. After a decade of battling addiction, I reached a turning point on June 6th, 2022, when I opened up to my parents and began my journey to recovery. I’ve been sober since that day. This episode was very mint I had a blast and I know you guys will as well!!!

I believe having a “big brother” figure in a player’s life, someone relatable who has walked in their shoes, can be transformative. I’m here for you. Hosted on Acast.
