Welcome to Coach Trav's Mental Health Playbook: The Athlete's Journey to Self-Discovery, a podcast dedicated to empowering athletes to embrace their identity beyond the game. This show is a safe space where professional, collegiate, and high school athletes are encouraged to explore their purpose, share their stories, and take pride in who they are as individuals. Athletes are more than the """"machines"""" they’re often portrayed as—they are people with unique gifts, passions, and aspirations beyond their sport.

In this episode of Coach Trav’s Mental Health Playbook, we dive into a real and necessary conversation around sex, consent, and the responsibility that comes with being both an athlete and a leader. This isn’t about pointing fingers, it’s about learning how to protect yourself, respect others, and carry yourself with integrity on and off the field.

Coach Trav is joined by licensed mental health therapist Cambriesha Montgomery who works directly with athletes, helping them navigate the pressure, expectations, and gray areas that too often get overlooked. Together, they unpack how to make informed choices, create a culture of accountability, and avoid situations that can change lives in an instant.

Because true strength isn’t just about how you perform—it’s about who you are when no one’s watching.
