Sort of like Dak Prescott does in the NFL, Potter says. Just showing everybody that they re not alone. If they are suffering, there s people to talk to and places to get help if you need it. Even in this setting with you to be able to talk about it a little bit, McKenna says. But I was really happy with Steve and some of his teammates at the conference meet for wanting to use that miniature platform that they have of a cross country meet to kind of share that message.
