In an effort to decrease the stigma surrounding mental health, Doc Wayne created the “Champions Circle” – a team of professional athletes who advocate for social change and mental health awareness. The Champions Network™ features conversations with these champions to foster transparency and action surrounding mental health.

Members of the Champions Circle share insight into their own experiences with mental health as it relates to being an athlete. More information regarding who is part of this elite group will be available soon.
