When it comes to football, Nick Saban cares about more than just what an athlete does on the field at Alabama.
He and Jeff Allen, the Crimson Tide’s Director of Sports Medicine, are both concerned about the mental and emotional outlook for players too. After releasing episode five on the Sensory Deprivation chambers at the brand new sports science center, Allen took the sixth segment to provide fans a look inside the mental health aspect of Alabama football.
Dr. Ginger Gilmore-Childress is the Director of Behavioral Medicine for the program.
With everyone in her department practicing social distancing, Gilmore-Childress went inside one of the behavioral health suites and discussed how student-athletes are tested.
