Old Hawkeyes, Honest Conversation
College teammates at the University of Iowa, host Nate Kaeding and guest Robert Gallery trace Robert’s arc from a sports-focused upbringing through his eight-year NFL career and into the post-retirement crisis that nearly took everything from him.
Inside the Recovery
Kaeding — himself a former NFL Pro Bowl kicker turned entrepreneur — guides the conversation toward the neurological consequences of professional football and Robert’s path through psychedelic-assisted therapy. Robert speaks candidly about his recovery and what it took to ask for help.
Why Athletes for Care
Robert lays out why he founded Athletes for Care, the gap in mental health support facing retired athletes, and the research and advocacy work the organization is leading to make sure other athletes don’t have to leave the country to access treatment that could save their lives.
