Blair Westerlund joins the podcast! Blair has survived the highest of pressures as a D1 athlete, but didn't get to leave the court completely on her own terms.

Through decades of dealing with paralyzing anxiety and panic attacks, Blair has learned to love the person she is today because of what she's been through. Today she is a mental health advocate and blogger setting an example for the next generation of athletes under pressure.

Dan Devaney and Walter Bailey grew up in Oregon and went on to star as some of the best defensive forces in the Pac-10. Dan is a Duck and Walter is a Husky, but the conference rivalry is the only thing that separates them. Dan was Walter's football hero growing up.

After years of battling with drugs and alcohol, both men are sober and counselors in the Portland area. In 2020, they'll launch their Hey Catch foundation to support fellow athletes.
