When U.S. gymnast Simone Biles withdrew from the Tokyo Games citing her mental health, it set off a global conversation about mental health in sports and the pressure athletes endure to perform even when they're not at their best.
After opening up about her personal journey on the world's biggest stage, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers credited Biles on Friday for having the courage to share her truth and the mental battles she's faced.
"I give Simone so much credit for her ability to speak the truth, her truth and to answer tough questions, and to have the courage to say, 'I'm scared' and 'I don't feel like I should be out there,'" Rodgers said in an interview with The Ringer.
