Fighting for Myself - Chris K Jones - Trauma, Athletes and Mental Health

from Write or Die Show · host Randi-Lee Bowslaugh

Get Chris's Book https://amzn.to/3kyc3aC   Chris K. Jones is an award-winning writer, former competitive athlete, and coach. His experiences in his youth with professional athletes shaped his interest in understanding the minds of athletes. Trying to mimic his heroes, he ignored the messages his body was sending him. After a series of broken bones, an eating disorder, and mental health issues, he knew he had to change. Chris turned to Judo, translated as the “gentle way,” Buddhism, meditation, and intensive self-reflection to begin his journey to healing. This served as a pathway to understanding who he was, on and off the mat, and how to turn failure into success. Chris uses his imagination and suspenseful storytelling to raise awareness about generational trauma and mental health in sports. Chris splits his time between Tarrytown, NY, and Barbados. http://books.apple.com/us/book/id1615105134  https://www.audiobooks.com/browse/booklists/most-anticipated-audiobooks
