Summary

As Marshawn Lynch says, y'all need to take care of your mentals. That's why this week on Montgomery & Co., we talk about mental health. First, we have Kiara McClendon, the Atlanta Dream's director of player engagement, talking about what she does to make the team better. Then, NBA hall of famer Spencer Haywood talks about his career and how going to a psychiatrist helped him later in his playing days. Plus, the crew gets into a discussion about what happens when the pressure builds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
