👋 Good morning! - Yesterday, we received the heartbreaking news about Cowboys DE Marshawn Kneeland. Our entire DLLS family is holding the Kneeland family in our hearts during this incredibly difficult time. We offer our deepest condolences, love, and support as they navigate this unimaginable loss. - Ali Jawad

The sports world mourns the loss of Cowboys DE Marshawn Kneeland which is why for today’s newsletter I would like to step away from sports and just focus on what matters most.

If you’re struggling, please know that you’re not alone.

Life can feel unbearably heavy at times, and it’s okay to admit when you’re hurting or overwhelmed.

Reaching out for help, whether it’s a friend, a family member, a teammate, or a professional, doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human. It means you’re choosing to keep going, even when things feel dark. And that choice takes real courage.

Your life has value, even when you can’t feel it in the moment.

There are people who want to listen, support you, and stand with you through whatever you’re facing.

If you or someone you love is experiencing a mental health crisis, please reach out to local resources or call/text 988 for immediate help. You deserve care, compassion, and hope, and there is always a path forward, even when it’s hard to see.

Take the time to listen to what coach Rhule had to say on mental health, very touching.

Be sure to subscribe to our shows wherever you listen to your podcasts. Traffic can be the worst, and one of the best ways I get through it is by listening to the audio versions of our DLLS shows. You should, too!
