Job Description

Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Baltimore, Maryland Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Baltimore, MD and nationwide)

CARRYING TOO MUCH, TOO QUIETLY
In Baltimore, talented kids often hide worry behind toughness. This internship studies what happens when a great player finally talks.

SIX STOPS ON THE TAPE
Refusing to Change Positions (01:05). Five Straight Grey Cups (17:24). NFL's Highest-Paid Player (22:04). Secretly Attending Therapy (27:54). Doug Williams Legacy (34:57). Playing Until 44 (49:13).

FROM REJECTION TO CANTON
ALL THE SMOKE hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson interview Warren Moon. Moon describes racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy. Undrafted as a quarterback, he signed with the Edmonton Eskimos and won five consecutive Grey Cups. The Houston Oilers made him the NFL's highest-paid player. He earned nine Pro Bowls, played until forty four, and in 2006 became the first undrafted and first Black quarterback inducted into the Hall of Fame. Its lesson: asking for help is a strength.
