"I kinda don't know what to say. HappyAthlete helped me grow as an athlete and as a person. I was really down when we got a new coach. He was cool but he didn't recruit me. I was being super combative and really wanted to quit. HappyAthlete helped me see the bigger picture and I eventually returned to myself. Every athlete should try it.
