Thank you so much for creating this powerful piece. To the athletes, you guys are amazing! For the rest of us, we should all lean on each other when needed. As the Dr. said, we're all humans. I have no connection to Minnesota but you guys have definitely gained a new fan!! Go Gophers!

I echo all the other comments below. Well done. I'm a professional film editor for the past 20 years and this was done with a lot of love and polish. I'm also a mental performance coach and love that this video is out there in the world to help so many people. Bravo.

I don’t know how student athletes do it. I could barely make it as a student student 👨‍🎓❤️✝️☝️
