Ep. 84 Emily Potter – “Mental Health Is Just As Important As Physical Health”

In episode 84, of The 9INE POINT Started With A Dream Podcast,
Jacolby Gilliam talks with former University of Utah basketball
alum, and current professional basketball player, Emily Potter
about her journey.


As a youth Emily dream of playing for her home country, Canada
representing them on the big stage. That dream led her to the
University of Utah and to recently playing overseas in the Czech
Republic.


In the midst of the achievements, Emily faced movements that had
her questioning if she still loved the game of basketball.
Battling injuries and losing a close friend to suicide; Emily
Potter started to look into her own mental health. This part of
her story led to wanting to make sure others do no feel alone on
their journey to know it is okay not to be okay. Reduce the
stigma around mental health. To continue her mission she even
began a non-profit in remembrance of her friend Sarah called
Sarah Strong
