Über diesen Titel

 In this episode of Bailey and Buck Unplugged, the hosts sit down with Coach Mike Rumph—Director of Football Recruiting & On-Campus Experience at the University of Miami, a former first-round NFL Draft pick, and a leader who’s unapologetically changing the conversation around mental health in sports and at home. Mike shares the turning point that pushed him to prioritize his mental wellness: a painful in-game moment early in his career that led him to work with therapist Kevin Elko, learn mental performance tools, and rebuild his confidence—so powerfully that he says he never gave up another touchdown after that play. He opens up about growing up without his mother, how childhood anger showed up on the field, and how therapy helped him understand what he was really carrying. The conversation also dives into marriage, communication, and what it looks like to model emotional strength as a father—because Mike doesn’t just go to therapy; he brings his kids too, making it clear that getting support is normal, healthy, and encouraged. From the importance of decompression time after work, to using the gym as mental clarity, to coaching with discipline without humiliation, Mike offers real-world tools for athletes, parents, and partners. This episode is packed with powerful reminders: your mistakes aren’t forever, asking for help isn’t weakness, and resilience is built through honesty, community, and the courage to do the inner work—on and off the field.
