OMG you guys! I'm so inspired by Kayshon Boutte's honesty about his struggle with gambling addiction! It takes a huge amount of courage to share something that could be super embarrassing & vulnerable like that #MentalHealthMatters But seriously, it's amazing that he found support from loved ones (especially his newborn child ) and now he's thriving both on & off the field The Patriots' commitment to helping him is a huge win for mental health awareness in sports!
I'm so glad he's speaking out about this . I mean, it's crazy how far we've come in terms of accepting mental health struggles and addiction in sports, but it's still a big deal. Boutte's story is honestly heartbreaking, thinking about him being so broke and feeling like he hit rock bottom . But at the same time, it's amazing that he's found help and support, including his little one who seems to be the best motivator ever . The Patriots' response to his addiction is also super commendable, showing that they care about their players' well-being . Now, let's see if Boutte can lead them to a win against the Chargers this weekend!
